WaPo’s Jackie Alemany Uses Dem Talking Points to Defend New Calls for Trump Docs, Testimony

EXCERPT:

ALEMANY: “So I think it's important to note a few things. First of all, this number 80 pales in comparison to the Senate Whitewater investigation during the Clinton Administration in which the Republicans issued 1,285 subpoenas to the Clinton White House. So, you know, comparing 80 documents to 1,200, you know, that speaks for itself. But then also I think we need to look at this as an insurance policy. This is — you know, the Mueller scope investigation has been pretty limited. And as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said yesterday during a press conference, I think at the end of the day people are realizing that this is really about the President’s tax returns and his potential ties to foreign governments and whether or not they have leverage over the Trump Administration. And then, you know, I think lastly this, you know, this should be viewed as, again, an insurance policy and every single one of these people who Nadler has requested documents from is already involved in the federal probe of the Southern District of New York or the Mueller probe and has already been reached out to. These are people who are already connected to these investigations.”
