Let’s worry about the veto after our representatives have shown they will follow the clear will of the people and only ethical choice.
If Trump vetos the bill, that’s its own confession.

Can they be? It’s my understanding that Congress CAN pass legislation saying they want the files released even if it screws up the presumed DOJ investigation”.

But, to be honest, did anyone realistically believe Pritzker, a billionaire, was a man “of the people”? Versus, perhaps, getting into a pissing match with another billionaire with whom there’s a long history of mutual antipathy?
