27. This is only a discharge petition

That only serves go around Mikey to get a floor vote. They can vote against it when it comes to a vote.

And if it passes, it may take years to get any meaningful information. Patel will slow-walk it. He will deny he has documents. He will give up each document kicking and screaming, And they willbe so redacted as to be almost solid black. This will have to go through the courts, which will take an eternity.

And in the end, how do you prove that they have released everything? They have probably destroyed the most incriminating stuff months ago.

So then there will have to be a process of getting testimony from whistle blowers who will only be able to describe what the pictures and videos showed.
