From WP and reported on Rachel, why would Mueller be requesting the Stone testimony to the House?

Rachel brought up that an official transcript is required for the Grand Jury. Fair enough, but why now, why not wait for a couple of weeks and request it from Adam Schiff? Are they going to be working on things that hard over the Holidays? It seems like they have plenty enough in the pipeline to keep them going?

Unless they are making a point of requesting it while Devon Nunes (T) is in charge.

This is how you win folks, you don't wait for the easy path, you can always double back and take that path. You hit the traitorous MOTHER FUCKERS IN THE TEETH! You ruin traitor Devon's Christmas, you make it clear that you are going to knock this Mother Fucker out. And you don't give two shits over the pressure exerted on Nunes, his family, and his party.

Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III asked the House Intelligence Committee on Friday for an official transcript of Trump adviser Roger Stone’s testimony, according to people familiar with the request, a sign that prosecutors could be moving to charge him with a crime.

It is the first time Mueller has formally asked the committee to turn over material the panel has gathered in its investigation of Russian interference of the 2016 campaign, according to the people.

The move suggests that the special counsel is moving to finalize his months-long investigation of Stone — a key part of Mueller’s inquiry into whether anyone in President Trump’s orbit coordinated with the Russians.

Stone, who has advised Trump on and off for decades and was in contact with the candidate during the 2016 campaign, has been a focus of the special counsel as Mueller probes whether the Trump campaign had advance knowledge of WikiLeaks’s release of Democratic emails allegedly hacked by Russian operatives.
