This sentence shows an increase in momentum "The move is designed to accelerate the committee’s investigation, and represents a new bipartisan challenge to the Trump administration, which has sought to use Republican allies in Congress to blunt the inquiries."

The point is, this course of action has been deemed necessary because The Trump administration has previously"...sought to use Republican allies in Congress to blunt the inquiries."

Because Congress is supposed to uphold the law, not impede it for political advantage.

You are surely joking me Mick! This is a matter of security and democracy that transcends party politics. Fortunately, many Republicans are wise enough to appreciate this.

'Fake news' - that which does not agree with your viewpoint, even when the actual news is just repeating what someone actually said..

A number of Senior Republicans feel what is happening needs investigating, as part of a bi-partisan investigation.

On Friday, Senate intelligence committee chairman Richard Burr and his Democratic counterpart, Mark Warner, warned Page that if he did not submit the relevant documents by next Tuesday, the committee would “consider its next steps at that time”, an apparent threat of subpoena.
http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed...430-story.html Last week, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, a loyal Republican, disclosed that President Trump’s former national security advisor probably broke the law when he accepted money from an arm of the Russian government.[/quote]

Again, if you say so Hugh.

And I did not ask you to answer my question for Andrew.

So to repeat my post above, meant for Andrew.
