6. The GOP hasn't requested a court "gag" order to restrain Fusion GPS from saying ANYTHING

about the interview. Fusion GPS can blab all they want, but they likely won't be able to recall all of the details of the ten hour interview. They're right to insist that the GOP release the transcripts, but they can also say whatever they want. Likely, they're remaining mum because if they start to tell their story AND it varies even slightly from the Congressional transcripts, GOPers in Congress can attack Fusion GPS' credibility.

Pressuring Grassley to release the transcripts is the only politically viable way to go. For now.
