“Will the FBI provide to Congress the full file with no redactions of personally-identifiable information?” Chaffetz asked Jason Herring, the FBI's acting assistant director for congressional affairs, during a late afternoon hearing on the documents.

“I can’t make that commitment,” Herring replied.

“Then I’m going to issue a subpoena and I’m going to do it right now,” Chaffetz said, pulling out the document. "We want all the 302s and we would like the full file. You are hereby served.”

According to Herring, the decision was made at the highest level of the bureau and took into account whether the person in question was already in the public eye.

“Can you cite any legal case, any precedent that says that Congress cannot look at personally-identifiable information?" Chaffetz asked.

Herring said he could not, but argued that exposing individuals unnecessarily could have a chilling effect on public cooperation with future investigations.

“Where I have a problem is when [the FBI] redact[s] information that is not deemed classified. It makes no sense. I believe that Congress should be able to see that,” Chaffetz insisted.

"While I understand there is an argument to withhold information under the Privacy Act or the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), neither of those apply to Congress or any other committees.”

Republicans also pushed Herring on the unreleased 302s, believed to be the interviews with key Clinton aides. According to Herring, the remaining summaries are “working their way through the FOIA process.”

Democrats repeatedly pushed back on the questioning as an attack on Clinton’s presidential campaign, arguing that the session should have been conducted behind closed doors in order to “responsibly” review what should and should not have been redacted.

“I guess this is what happens when you try to schedule a public attack against Hillary Clinton for every day of the week — you get frantic, and you swap substantive discussions for set-up hearings and cheap press hits,” Ranking Member Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said in his opening statement.
