Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed as requiring the approval of the congressional intelligence committees as a condition precedent to the initiation of any significant anticipated intelligence activity.

(b) Reports concerning illegal intelligence activities
The President shall ensure that any illegal intelligence activity is reported promptly to the congressional intelligence committees, as well as any corrective action that has been taken or is planned in connection with such illegal activity.

Such procedures shall be established in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence.

Barr was not even obligated to show the intel committee the Mueller report. The DOJ does not answer to Nadler. Trump was far more generous than he should have been.

THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW ! This is not about Nadler. This is about intelligence they are obligated to provide to the INTEL COMMITTEE headed by Schiff not the Judiciary committee.

No, what you outlined is the president's use of the intelligence resources. This was an investigation separate from the president's use of the intelligence community. The DOJ, by law, is only required to give a synapses, since the president was cleared of wrong doing and no charges were recommended.

The FBI investigation is a counterintelligence investigation. That means that the Intel committee must be kept fully informed about it.

That is the LAW, plain and simple.

The president didn't use the FBI for the Mueller investigation. You posted about the president's use of the intelligence community. The investigation is NOT the president using the intelligence community.

The FBI started a counterintelligence investigation into Russia's activities BEFORE Trump ever became POTUS. Schiff is requesting an update on THIS investigation.

They are breaking the law by withholding it.

End of Story !

And what would make you think that Trump has access to intelligence from an investigation on himself?

Except when it actually happened Trump didn't report it to the FBI and told Americans who had any concerns about such contacts that his contact were a hoax and fake news. Then he proceeded to do nothing to prevent future efforts by foreign actors as POTUS and he even forbids his staff to even speak of preventing such things in his presence.

The worst of this is that to a person Trump worshipers who defended him for saying it in the first place this will defend his 180 as if he had never said the former.

Deplorable doesn't even describe how far they've dropped standards in our politics in order to support Trump.
You're right, Hillary paid for information from Russia and didn't report it. I feel you when you keep saying lock her up, lock her up!

Remember when Democrats were at least on the side of the United States?

Hmm, I don't either. You didn't used to hate us THIS much though

The Steel Dossier went directly to the FBI. Or have you forgotten about all the bitching and moaning over it you Trumpies had done in the past few years because it was given to the FBI ?

It doesn't matter whether he has availed himself of the information or not.

The law is clear.
Trump was supposed to run to the FBI and report that the Russians didn't give him any information or his son who met with them?

You really are desperate now

No, your interpretation of the law is faulty. Trump can't deliver what he doesn't have. It's like the democrat BS against Barr, that he has to break the law in order to avoid a contempt charge. Democrats are game playing and there are far too many people to stupid to know it or too corrupt to admit it.

You can take your choice of which category you fall into. :)

You telling Russia that Biden wants to buy Russian information like Hillary did?
No.

Trump says he will side with Russia if given the opportunity.

McConnell says he will do NOTHING to prevent that and will prevent others from doing so as well.
