Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report is done. But members of Congress are just getting started.
"Congress and the American people deserve to judge the facts for themselves,” said Sen. Mark R. Warner , the top Democrat on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Democrats, many of whom issued nearly identical calls for transparency within an hour of the release, want to see the report and the full scope of Mueller’s investigation. They began suggesting that they may have to subpoena Mueller to prove there was no political interference in the probe. “If that’s true, it would mean we just completed 2 years of investigating ‘Russian collusion’ without ONE collusion related indictment. Not even one,” Rep. Mark Meadows , a White House ally, said on Twitter. “Why? Because there was no collusion.”
Before the sun went down, Sen. Kamala Harris had sent an email to supporters to sign a petition to demand the report’s release and, if you click through, to donate to her campaign. Sen. Elizabeth Warren issued a similar email. Rep. Adam B. Schiff , chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said on CNN that Democrats would subpoena Mueller or the report and its underlying evidence if necessary. He suggested that “evidence of compromise” that didn’t rise to the level of prosecution still deserves public scrutiny.Mueller’s testimony would be vital to ensuring public confidence, said Rep. Eric Swalwell .
