12. "Except it isn't a congressional request"
Mon May 5, 2025, 07:28 PM
May 5
The Democrats have written letters to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, FBI Director Kash Patel, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and White House Chief of Staff Susan Wiles requesting information about Musk.


You can read, right?

The INFORMATION being requested (whatever does get received) is THEN used for further requests - perhaps to underlings like "aides" and/or "deputies/assistants", etc. That can be used towards planning future hearings and those hearings, along any written responses, interviews, testimony, etc., is used for drafting and marking up legislation.

I find it hard to believe that folks don't know how a "bill becomes a law". Maybe this now 50 year old "lesson" will help -
