The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.WASHINGTON — Democrats who now wield gavels and subpoena power in the U.S. House of Representatives have not been shy in faulting their Republican counterparts for shirking oversight responsibility when they were in control over the past two years.
“I view the Mueller report as a bare minimum. And if there are questions that are raised by the report where we need more information, then we may very well seek to get it,” Schiff said in an interview with NBC News. “We may very well have to fight for everything we want to learn beyond that. But I think the Department of Justice has established now a firm policy that they’re going to have to live with.
They cite the precedent the Justice Department set in “other closed and pending high-profile cases alleging wrongdoing by public officials” in which both “classified and law enforcement sensitive information” were turned over to the House. Justice Department officials briefed reporters last July about the lengths they had gone to in order to meet GOP demands, in one case making available 880,000 thousand of pages of documents to lawmakers. The department also had to create new search tools to inspect its internal systems for the most sensitive information that might be subject to GOP requests.
Democrats say that efforts to provide for transparency into the Justice Department’s work is only one part of offering a full public accounting of potential foreign influence at the highest levels of U.S. government. That’s why Schiff says he’s expanded his committee’s probe to include questions of financial leverage Russia and other foreign actors might have over Trump or his family and allies.
Hey ShiftySchiff 🛑 STOP WASTING OUR TIME AND TAX $$$$$ RepAdamSchiff
It doesn't matter. If Mueller didnt have enough to charge people, the house won't either. It's just a shit show to keep the negativity going until next year. We all see it. Its not about broken laws, ethics, responsibility, its about 2020.
Witch hunt continues!
JuliansRum I’m not sure either The Final Report of the Special Counsel into Donald Trump, Russia, and Collusion Robert S. Mueller III U.S. Department of Justice Alan Dershowitz Publication date: March 26, 2019
Unless the American voters know every single thing in that report--how can he run for re-election? SpeakerPelosi If a Democrat tried to run for President with all that Trump has hanging over his head--Republicans would stop that from happening. Maddow
I give the f**k up. Our democracy is fractured.
Us taxpayers PAID for that investigation and we WILL see a report!
To all of the Democrats who have TDS! No collusion of President Trump and his campaign DIRECTLY involved with the Russians! This article is from The Left Leaning NBC NEWS! The TDS MEDIA will continue to look foolish!
hardball That’s not Important
It's about f'*g time the Dems took a page from the GOP playbook!! Maybe then, and only then, will they even be playing the same sport!!
Hahaha no Russian conspiracy!!!
Thankful Dems aren’t playing this as holier than thou : the GOP made this bed so time to reap a few benefits of their perfidy.
Democrats are hoping to distort the findings.
Congress holding open hearings can and will expose a lot of dirt and all these people around frump going to jail for tall tales will continue to inspire truth telling like during the Cohen hearing -sadly instead of looking for info the R's were working to intimidate Cohen
It's fascinating to sit back and watch the Democrats pivot on the Mueller report. At first, it was all about that report because Russia Russia Russia. But now, as facts show there was no collusion, Dems are beginning to distance themselves from the report. Unbelievable.
Watch out for Adam Schiff. He's going to go where no one's ever thought of.
May the force be with you!!! Luke I am your father use your new powers for good
What's the point of a report if the public don't hear it. It's not like any republicans can be trusted to do the right thing. America is truly fucked IMO.
A YUGE and expensive Nothingburger with invisible fries 🍟
This guy is a corrupt little Chihuahua.
This will be the 2019 version of the Benghazi hearings. Total waste, grand standing, and playing for MSM events. When will politicians stop playing and get serious about running the country? Both side are equally guilty.
JuliansRum I'm afraid that it looks more and more like Mr Schiff is insane. For real.
If democrats want everything to be made public without redaction. Then I’m 100% in agreement! ReleaseEverything
So the Mueller Report is already being dismissed by the Dems, because they now know there IS NO EVIDENCE, and Mueller will not be able to cover for them! Remember it was Mueller who was in charge of Acosta with the Epstein plea deal!
Coup attempt continues with the assistance from the MSM. Should be fun to watch them trip all over themselves and set future precedents that no Dem candidate, or anyone, will be able to pass to become POTUS
FakeNews Cohen testifies NO Russia collusion NO meeting in Prague NO bribes So now TheDemocrats are throw up a Hail Mary with this tax thing. The Atheist Abortion Infanticide Party thedemocrats There should be a lawsuit for every death to Santuary Cities
