Almost every aspect of this is untrue.
There’s no evidence Mueller’s team did anything except follow DOJ policy when it reissued Strzok and Page’s phones to new agents. There texts were reviewed and deemed immaterial, per IG report. oig.justice.gov/reports/2018/i…

Gowdy and Goodlatte acknowledge they essentially didn’t get to finish their investigation of the FBI and DOJ, ask successors and GOP senators to continue investigating.
They launched it in Oct 2017. Dems say they don’t intend to continue it, calling it a partisan effort to undermine Mueller.
Note the cc list includes Graham, the next Senate Judiciary Committee chairman. Excludes Schiff despite including Nunes and Dems.

BREAKING: The FBI *deputy director* is directly rebuffing a GOP request to vet/redact witness transcripts by Christmas Eve -- a deadline he says is not possible without risking classified info.

He, not too subtly, notes the "legal requirement" they have not to disclose such info
GOP lawmakers, who will be giving up power in the House next month, sent 3,400 pages of witness interviews for FBI on Wednesday, according to FBI.

"Your committee has not afforded the FBI the time necessary" to review by Christmas Eve -- which he notes in italics.
"Moreover, given the nature of the topics covered with the witnesses ... the transcripts ... may contain classified information."

Calls for full review by FBI, DOJ and Special Counsel Mueller's team, "as appropriate."

so Collins and his congressional pall have been using their positions on the committees and boards to make millions. Surprised? Evidentally there’s no rule against it. That’s about to change, but in the meantime...
Mr. Collins may have been the largest investor in health companies on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, but one-third of its members also bought and sold biotech, pharmaceutical and medical device stocks.
