Above the post update - Rep Connoly is trying to pin the panel down as to whether congress can flagrantly trash a criminal investigation when it seeks information. So far, 2 of the panelists have agreed that Congress' ability to get information does not depend on the criminal investigations.
As it should be.
... just started.
The Honorable Ranking Member Rep Cummings just said something to the effect of, 'we don't want to jeopardize an ongoing criminal investigation with these hearings'. Here's my take:
If elements of the federal (or state for that matter) government are suspected of violating federal law, I don't give a fuck about your ongoing investigations. You need to come clean and assure the public that you are, in fact, acting lawfully.
If you don't, I don't have any problem with your being fired.
