The House Intelligence Committee's top Democrat is calling on the panel's Republican majority to release the transcript of the panel's November interview with Glenn Simpson, the cofounder of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS.

“In light of the selective leaks of Mr. Simpson’s testimony and the misleading manner in which Fusion GPS’ role has been characterized, I support releasing the transcript," Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, the panel's ranking member, said in a statement through his office on Monday.

"The Majority has released transcripts of Dr. Page and Mr. Prince when it suited their interests, and likewise should make an exception here," Schiff added, referring to Carter Page, an early Trump campaign aide, and Erik Prince, an informal adviser to Trump's transition team.

A spokeswoman for Fusion GPS, the Washington, D.C.-based opposition research firm that hired the former British spy Christopher Steele to research then-candidate Donald Trump's ties to Russia, said on Monday that Fusion supports the release of the transcript. The firm had even sent a letter to the committee to that effect, she said, but it has not yet been publicly released.

Nunes is nothing more than a Trump lackey. He would never authorize the release and would likely refer any leak to the Trump administration for prosecution.

Senators have more leeway.

2. Adam Schiff is a class act. Nunes is a useless fool, but...

Make no mistake, it is Paul Ryan that gives his approval to all the obstruction and sneaky shit that Nunes does.

5. I wouldn't say that a Democrat requesting anything from Nunes is "pressure" for Nunes.

Nunes doesn't care what the Dems or public want. He is a Trump dog.

6. If important info-a D should spine-up/ release it to the press & weaponise Rs attacks for midterms

Not a "leak" a full blown bring proof of collusion/treason to the American people, expose it to the press.

Sure Republicans will attack, try to fire that elected person but that will be used against them big-time.
