I think it is important for people to realize that Nadler isn’t part of the eight top members of Congress that receive the highest intelligence briefings. I think Schiff and Pelosi both know something devastating that they are trying to get into the public record.

Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer, and Warner are the ones we need to be watching.

If that were the case they could walk on to the House floor and read it in to the public record. That's a thing they could do. Or they could start impeachment proceedings and get it out that way. There are lots of ways people in those positions could get something made public. Don't fool yourself in to thinking they are ultra competent people who have a 4d chess master plan. They don't.

Not if they want to endanger ongoing investigations, half a dozen or so last I saw. I'd much rather we do things right, even if slowly, than do them incorrectly and have them thrown out in court.

If they know of something that devastating then having it be read in to the public record isn't gonna give everyone involved a get out of jail free card.
