I think the reporter realizes that this “inquiry” is in fact a crime in progress. It is obstruction of justice to prevent the exposing of the crimes of Andrea Chulipa and Joe Biden in Ukraine during the Obama administration.
The reporter is free to report those crimes. Never before has it been so easy for one to apply a “press” to distributing a message to so many so fast so cheaply. Nobody is going to silence him for his message (though he has no right to use another’s press to publish, nor to speak out of turn at a hearing).
