Almost certainly appeal to the court of appeals which is the intermediate and perhaps even seek to take it to the supreme court. One thing that does hold your thoughts. This is the ranking republican on the committee, doug collins. Then we understand maybe its the democrats who have something to be worried about. Maybe they dont like what was in the Mueller Report and maybe they dont want to continue to ask questions about it. Ill take your questions. The white house has been fighting subpoenas, requests for information. Do you have any concern theyre eroding your colleagues ability to investigate . I dont think so. Theyre going to do what they need to do, as past administrations have done, including president obama and others. They fight subpoenas when they feel like they have made accommodations or not. One concern i have and the chairman was out here talking about going straight to contempt. Thats typically a twoweek process. You typically goent go straight to contempt. You work wit
House saying about his next steps . Reporter brooke, this is the most important part of a process that has taken many weeks of negotiation between republicans and democrats. Will the president actually sign this compromise that has been come to as of last night and what were hearing from a white house official and even from some of the president s allies on capitol hill is that they believe the president is likely to sign this bill . What else he might do is not exactly clear and whether or not he will make his decision known publicly is also not clear, but the president is clearly unhappy with what hes getting out of this.

What is been happening behind the scenes here at the white house for several weeks now are preparations for President Trump to potentially
What could they be trying to hide . Thats cuomos court. And devastating developments out of alabama. The death toll is rising. Massive tornadoes tore through homes. I hope youve seen the pictures, and i hope youre thinking about the need there. We have a survivor. What a story. Its a tough night, so lets get after it. The chairman of the committee that launched todays massive trump world investigation says impeachment is a long way off. But are they laying the groundwork right now . Our goal is to hold the Administration Accountable for the obstruction of justice, the abuse of power, and the corruption. We have to find out whats been going on, and we have to lay out a case to the American People and reveal it. We had the head of the Democratic Caucus on earlier, hakeem jeffries. I dont see how they launch a probe like this but say its got nothing to do with impeachment. Yes, they have constitutional oversight, but it seems to be a conflation of the interests here. Well see which way it
Before you go, i want to read to you the law on the Inspector General that you were discussing in the last hour, as the news was breaking during your hour, i managed to get my hands on the law. Its fascinating, a because theres nothing i see in the law, that supports the withholding of this, anywhere generals report. It says. On receipt of a transmimttal fom whimpt sends it on to the when it sends it on to the drebter. The director shall, in seven calendar days, forward such transmittal together with any comments that the director considers appropriate. Its very clear there, rachel, its does not say that the director can only forward this if it involves a person under the directors jurisdiction that seems to be the stib iin in t the Sticking Point that the director is clinging to. Or if it does notti implicat executive branch privilege. I would love to figure out, the way it happened.
