Schiff: House investigation slowed by so few staffers. Who decides how many & can we influence it?

Schiff on Morning Joe today said House investigation going well; proceeding, chair & Schiff working very well together but having so few staffers is really slowing it down.

This is not news to any of us, but does anyone know who decides how many staffers they get (we know they got a ton more with Benghazi and HRC email "scandal&quot and if we could influence that with calls, and to whom?

US can never get a handle on this problem with so few staffers in the investigations if we are so outnumbered

Then the Chair of the Committee will be a Democrat.

America is at a crossroads.
