UPDATE: Republicans couldn’t find an excuse to stop us from releasing the Strzok transcript. Sending to DOJ for redactions and will release as soon as it’s available.


Democrat lawmakers now saying they will unilaterally release the closed-door transcripts of Stzrok’s previous testimony at 5 pm unless someone shows them a rule that prohibits it. Stzrok’s lawyer has said it should be out.

1. Good

The Rs are traitors, the Dems have to do whatever they can.

2. Release the Kraken

3. Cicilline went badass on goodlatte

He intimated that he had nothing prohibiting the release and was going to do so.

He's up right now! Love this guy.

4. Do it.

[gratuitous]

5. Watch Fox to fall completely apart

And the other "news" outlets will follow their lead in being mortally offended that the Democrats would do such an underhanded, unprecedented, partisan tactic. Anyone who is so churlish as to recount the Republican grandstanding that led to this will be deemed Unserious and not worthy of further consideration.

8. it was also said they needed to be approved for release/redacted for nat security by the FBI

...I wouldn't be surprised if the release wasn't at 5, but some time in the near future.

17. I have been monitoring the twitter accounts of the Democrats on both committees

They haven't released them yet but then the hearing isn't done yet either (they are on a temp recess for votes).

If they are going to release, it might either happen once the hearing is ended for the day or maybe around 8pm ET.

18. Thanks.

19. Saw the updated tweet in the OP and the transcript is being sent to DOJ to redact

so that might take some time.

I.e., might not happen tonight.

20. FOX will ignore everything but the snippet where Goodlatte threatens to hold Stzrok in contempt

Watch and see...they'll act as if the hearings never took place except for Goodlatte's comment.

21. Bout time we stick
