      There's an irony of the Hillary investigation: Had 1) Hillary not been the sole target or 2) Congress referred false statements rather than leaking classified info, the outcome would have been different.

      Cummings notes that OGR has not issued a single subpoena to investigate Trump. Raises family separation. Should raise Pruitt, since Gowdy has agreed that's an egregious problem (and since Trump is keeping Pruitt to replace Sessions with).

          Nadler notes that House Republicans have done nothing to defend the next election, also raises ACA and family separation. Says if House cared abt classified info they'd do something abt Trump leaking Israel info, Trump & CLASS docs at Mar-a-Lago.

          Nadler asks did you find evidence of any crime by Comey. Horowitz defers. He is investigating Comey, and he has deferred questions abt criminal investigations, in part bc of McCabe referral.
