On Wednesday, Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer announced that he and the seven Democratic members of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs are demanding the files, citing “a century-old and little-known” statute known as the “rule of five.”
Under the rule, executive agencies are, upon the request of five members of the Homeland Security Committee, required to submit “any information requested of it relating to any matter within the jurisdiction of the committee.”
That’s way too many steps. All the republicans have to do is ignore the ruling. Nobody will do shit, Shumer and his useless fucking lackeys will claim to have tried and move on to the next grift.
