NEW on 'The Investigation' podcast: Former Clinton White House attorney warns Mueller report not 'the right battle' for Democrats. 🎧:

As the White House maintains its posture of blocking any and all congressional oversight requests, an attorney who represented the last president to face impeachment proceedings warned Democrats"to pick and choose these battles very carefully" or risk losing the public's support of their"legitimate oversight function."

Last week on"The investigation," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called Nadler's actions"nothing more than a big dog-and-pony show." Some liberal Democrats have begun calls for impeachment, but thus far leadership has resisted those calls. On ABC News'"This Week with George Stephanopoulos" Sunday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said the White House's stonewalling of Democrats"does add weight to impeachment.""I do worry about that," Sherburne added.
