House Republicans have lost the majority, but they're not giving up the bullhorn they've used to challengethe Russia probe narrative.
Amid the frenzied anticipation over the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee has made a mission of publishing a slew of transcripts from closed-door interviews by the panel dating back to the GOP majority. Last week, Ranking Member Doug Collins, R-Ga.,unilaterally published hundreds of pages from interviews with former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page,containing juicy details about the anti-Trump so-called "insurance policy" (concerning the Russia probe), their affair and even the steps DOJ officials allegedly took to avoid serious charges for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 email investigation.
And that's just the start.
"There’s plenty more—at least 20 or more transcripts as part of this investigation,†Collins told Fox News in an interview this week. "We’re going through, not in a set order, but we want to make sure they’re ready to go.â€
Earlier this month, Collins released the transcript of an interview with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, who provided information to the FBI regarding Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign’s alleged ties to Russia. Ohr’s wife, Nellie, works for the firm Fusion GPS, which commissioned the infamous anti-Trump dossier.
It is unclear, at this point, which transcripts Collins will release next. Collins explained that his staff is making sure there are "no problems†with the transcripts that would reveal "any sources or methods.â€
"There is no classified information here … and I’m not editorializing these transcripts,†he said. "We’re just putting them out there as is, so that [the American people] can look at questions, how they were asked and answered, and how this developed the narrative.â€
The committee saw a number of high-profile Justice Department and FBI officials behind closed doors during the last Congress, receiving testimony from officials like Nellie Ohr, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein andformer FBI counsel James Baker, among others.
Collins' decision to publish such transcripts, even when in the minority, is not unprecedented.
