Rand Paul made explicit what other Republicans no doubt are keeping hidden. It will stay in the Intelligence Committee and out of public view rather than allowing a Select Committee to hold public hearings, Select Committees are for going after the Dems over historical matters which have no current significance. Benghazi anyone?
Of course parties apply different standards to their opponents....and also prioritise an agenda according to that....The problem here is that there appears to be significant leaking from the White house and the associated bureaucracy that's finding its way into the media.
That in itself is another huge issue..... but it makes it much more difficult for Trump and the Republicans to let it go unchallenged...especially if transcripts start appearing in the press.
