Two Democratic senators are calling on the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee to release the transcript of its meeting with the CEO of the research firm that produced the controversial dossier about President Trump.

Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), who sit on the committee, asked Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) in a letter to release the full transcript of Fusion GPS CEO Glenn Simpson’s August interview.

“The American people deserve the facts. There is simply no reason to keep the Simpson testimony (or other testimony before our committee for that matter) hidden while this distraction goes on,” the senators said in the letter, which is dated Jan. 7.

The lawmakers cite “selective leaks” and attacks leveled against Simpson as they made their case for the transcript’s release.

1. Collusion with Russia

may not be a crime. Is conspiracy to hide collusion a crime? Sounds like Rico laws will apply.

2. It's just plain old conspiracy, and that is a crime

10. Only if youre conspiring to do something illegal.

If i conspire with my sister in law to throw a surprise birthday party for my brother, that’s not illegal.

11. There is a legal definition of conspiracy, which always means conspiring to commit a crime

Collusion on the other hand, has no legal definition. The media should be saying Mueller is investigating an alleged conspiracy, not collusion. I think that alone would change the conversation.

4. Collusion by definition is two or more people agreeing to do something.

A conspiracy by definition is two or more people agreeing to do something.

Not a cat's whisker between the two. If either one is to do something illegal, either becomes a crime.

3. Release the transcripts and the pee tape

5. Grassley is an evil GOP hack who will never do the right thing.

6. They'd better release the testimony!

I worked hard for this and I want some action. I called all the Judicial Committee GOP reps Aug 29 to release them and they said they released them at that time (this was recorded and shown on TV!). I guess I should've expected that they would lie and go back on their word.

7. Why aren't ALL the Dems on the Judiciary Committee demanding release of the Fusion GPS interview?

Do Senators Feinstein, Leahy, Durbin, Klobuchar, Coons, and Hirono all want to keep the transcript of the Glenn Simpson interview hidden from the American people?

Blumenthal and Whitehouse are right.."The American people deserve the facts."

8. Klobuchar....

9. Isn't Fusion free to release the documents themselves?

I mean, it's their testimony and they want it in the public domain.
The Repukes didn't hesitate to release people's private emails, what's holding this up?

[California_Republic]

12. Hey Fusion. Just tell us the story!

[Chrysanthemum]

13. Leak the transcripts!!!

I think the Democrats should leak the transcripts. They have immunity from prosecution.
