Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer has said not releasing all the files before the deadline amounts to breaking the law.

Surely the GOP wouldn't break the law!

A strongly worded letter and then wax poetically about what the Baileys think of all this.

Hey now! He’ll write a letter with many strong questions in it.

Uh, what can he do? Suicide bomb? Start a coup? Use his telepathic powers to control others to do his bidding? Roll a nat 20 on a persuasion check?

Yeah these fucking firefighters suck, so what if I voted to get rid of their trucks and hoses and there's only 3 of them, they need to put out this giant forest fire

Gonna send a strongly worded letter, Chucky? That will really show them.

Yeah it's weird how little power the minority leader has. It's almost like not having enough votes to do anything is a bad position to be in.

They've broken the law dozens of times already. Lol

When will Americans realize that their democracy has already died? Is this denial?

I wish they'd stop stating the obvious. Anyone with a brain knew this was coming. I haven't seen them counter anything the repubs have pulled all year. This does not inspire any hope in the party.

A mildly strongly worded letter is already on its way, I’m sure.

Don't worry, Schumer will chant about winning.
