Adam Schiff is now Criticizing Transparency from the DOJ

First, if these are same materials DOJ warned could risk lives and investigations, why share them now?

Second, is Kelly attending? The President must not abuse his power to obtain investigatory materials for his legal defense team.

We have a member of the House intel committee actually decrying the fact that the DOJ is finally going to legally comply.

The only reason we know this informant's name is because the DOJ targeted leaks to the Times and Washington Post in order to get out ahead of this embarrassment.

Giuliani removes all doubt - the White House effort to force DOJ to give investigatory materials to Congress is really about the defense team getting their hands on them.

If the President is charged with a crime, he has a right to see the evidence.

The President can declassify and/or share anything he wants with Giuliani.

The President absolutely "Has a right to see the evidence" at any point and can do so.

He's sought to stonewall transparency at every step in the House's investigations and for clearly partisan reasons.

Anytime anything could possibly be seen as helpful to the President, he's there to whine about it.

There is zero reason to side with the DOJ here and assert they can ignore lawful document requests by the Congress.
