Adam Schiff svarar:
Citat:
Some will say that we should leave the investigation to Special Counsel Mueller anyway, since he has the resources and independence to do the job. But this fundamentally misapprehends the mission of the Special Counsel, which is to determine whether U.S. laws were broken and who should be prosecuted. It is not Mueller’s job to tell the American people what happened, that is our job, and the Majority has walked away from it. Others may be tempted to say a pox on both houses, and suggest that in a dispute between the parties, both must be equally culpable. But after months of urging the Majority to do a credible investigation,the Minority was put in the position of going along with a fundamentally unserious investigative process, or pointing out what should be done, what must be done, to learn the truth. We chose the latter course.
Citat:
In the coming weeks and months, new information will continue to be exposed through enterprising journalism, indictments by the Special Counsel, or continued investigative work by Committee Democrats and our counterparts in the Senate. And each time this new information becomes public, Republicans will be held accountable for abandoning a critical investigation of such vital national importance

Fler åtal att vänta med andra ord.
Känns synnerligen som ett dåligt drag av GOP att lägga ner utredningen. Varför elda på demokraterna att gå ut och rösta när deras största problem alltid är att få folket att gå och rösta. Hade inte varit några större problem att hålla igång den oseriösa utredningen i några månader och lägg ner den efter valet.
Möjligtvis handlar det om att medlemmar i House Intelligence Committee snart kommer att bli indragna i Muellers utredning istället. Ser ju onekligen inte så bra ut om Nunes sitter och utreder GOPs eventuella samarbete med Ryssland samtidigt som han utreds och åtalas av Mueller.
