Are Republicans keeping House Intelligence Committee unstaffed to slow Mueller investigation?

Maddow mentioned that House Republicans had already named members for 23 other committees, including less important committees like the Joint Committee on the Library, which makes it even more suspicious that a committee as significant as the Intelligence Committee has not been fully staffed yet. She also pointed out that the committee’s chairman, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., would be able to send Mueller’s team the transcripts for all of the Trump-associated witnesses who appeared before them within 48 hours of when the committee became operational. Because Schiff has already said that sending these materials to Mueller would be his first order of business, it is likely that fully staffing the committee would greatly accelerate the Mueller probe.

Mueller has far more investigators than the committee and far more resources than the committee. He knows all they know and much more.
