Democratic leaders insist on release of full Mueller report

Mueller on Friday submitted a confidential report to Barr, who reviewed the document and sent congressional leaders a four-page summary of Mueller’s “principal conclusions” late Sunday afternoon. Democrats argued that the summary was insufficient — and a work product from a Republican attorney general appointed by Trump.

Barr, special counsel Robert S.

In addition to seeking testimony from Barr, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee discussed pursuing Mueller to appear before Congress, especially if the panel is unsuccessful in obtaining the special counsel’s full report. The committee’s Democrats, scattered around the country, held an emergency conference call Sunday evening to discuss the summary and the next steps, according to a participant who spoke on condition of anonymity to freely describe the conversations.

In an interview with The Washington Post this month, Pelosi spelled out a critical precondition for moving toward impeachment proceedings: support from Republicans so that it would be considered a bipartisan movement against Trump, similar to the last days of Richard Nixon’s presidency in 1974. Sen. Christopher A. Coons , a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, predicted Sunday that “we will have a hard fight ahead over release of the full report and materials” but insisted that Democrats are “justified in seeking a broad view of what materials led to [Mueller’s] conclusion.”

THE COUP IS OVER. Stop covering for the treasonous DEMs.

Dismount when your horse dies. No point in changing the jockey.

Why? So they can make a bunch of autistic connections like conspiracy theorist normally do? You lost, get over it!

I thought they cared about 'Sources and Methods.' Funny how they don't care about 4th Amendment rights and National Security now that Mueller exposed them for the Conspiracy theorists that they are.

So does Trump. Big deal.

Everything but sources and methods should be released. Especially seeing as the perpetrators of this Russia hoax shoul not be allowed to know identities of people they then can intimidate, silence or worse.

Mueller did not spend 2 years for Barr to summarise the report in 2 days and 4 pages. We need the whole damn report!

That's fine. No problem. But you may be sorry. 😳

Nothing worse than ungraceful losers. Spent 25 mil. on investigation. Now they want to spend another 25 mil to investigate the investigation.

RepJerryNadler needs to reverse his gastric bypass to digest this news. His stomach is too small digest no collusion news.

I would love to go to the Supreme Court and defend myself with a fair chance.

This guy should be in prison for conspiricy and sedition. Period. Drain the swamp.

Americans demand the release of the full mueller report!!

I hope that they do release it. I also hope that they declassify everything so the world can see what happened

To the Supreme Court? Good Luck.

and Their insistence is as genuine as their concern for the American people. They are opportunists who insulted the country with the biggest lie ever told. They tried to tell it so often that people believed. Even hired a seasoned investigator and after 2 years? nada

this rep nadler better double down becasuse you are going down fast and taking the party with you.

desperately hoping to find a smoking gun. The expectation of the wicked shall perish—Proverbs 10:28—effectively driving the intellectually degenerate left nuts! Acquire a decent life, live it to its utmost. Stop chasing after WIND!

And even that won’t be enough! Y’all were used by Dems & Russia to spread their propaganda & lies! ShameOnYou

Release the report and everything that goea with....ALL or NOTHING SoreLosers

Absolutely, along with the FISA documents , FBI,DOJ, docs, 302s, congressional views, you know the ones the Dems are blocking, let’s see it all...

Of course they do! Mueller didn’t find anything! Forget abt Dems pissed off nothing was found! Let’s ask The American PEOPLE! They R PISSED off MSM took them down this PATH of LIES, for 2 yrs. They just woke UP to see the BullSh*t story they’ve been FED! MSM is DEAD-BUSTED!!

Agreed

The complete report must be released so we know if Barr is spinning Mueller’s report...which is exactly what I suspect! Their is something dirty about the Barr report...more spin than substance!

Great. The subpoena should be released today, then. SpeakerPelosi AOC

That's fine. I'd like to see them get humiliated all over again too

WINNING! TRUMP2020! MAGA! 🇺🇸😎🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s time to move on.

THE NATION INSISTS ON IT 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

There. Was. A. 420-0. Vote. By. The. House. It’s not just Dems.

I agree, release it all! The FISA docs, FBI/CIA docs, the 302’s, Congressional and Senatorial interviews, open the books to the world on every single document involved in this Russian Collusion Hoax and do it today!

Well they were attacked by a foreign service..so yeah they deserve the full report and not redacted...That went out the window with Trump sitting in the room with Putin with no witnesses...

Hope the Dems hold firm on this.Americans deserve truth not some Gaslighting report by T flunkies that is an arrogant insult to American intelligence

Imagine that. Insisting on seeing the full report instead of just letting the defendant's hand-picked (specifically because he wrote an article about how Trump couldn't obstruct justice) lawyer make a judgment and a very very thin summary.

Dam they just won't stop just shows you how they the Democrats are cheesy and you want to trust them !!

And all Americans

ex-New York prosecutor U.S. Ken McCallion Trump's links with the Russian-Jewish mafia. Ken McCallion is not democratic?)

WaPo,NY TIMES,HuffPo, etc-Your Communist party,filled with racists,anti Semites,supporters of infanticide-ideological media that practices totalitarianism-Silence from your brainwashed acolytes I’m sure in a previous life you all supported the Nazis. No collusion- next up?

I’ve been watching this entire process play out and one thing I’ll say is. Trump is playing a game of chess while Democrats are busy playing checkers. Smh!

....release the report, if Mueller had anything to hide, it wouldn’t be in his report.

Go ahead Democrats. Show the public you are going to continue this phony two year investigation despite Mueller's exoneration. The public will reward you.

We need full report. If it is a “complete exoneration” like trump claims, good. Let’s see it. Trump should have no problem with the release.

The Democrats and The Washington Post know full well why the report can’t be released immediately. There is classified information that needs to be redacted. To act like this is a cover up is worse than disingenuous. It’s sinister.

RepJerryNadler is EMBARRASSMENT for his constituency and our country! That lunatic belongs to nursing home.

they are going to need professional help, after reading this report, you can stop with the probes on him, his family, all his businesses, nothing to see, move on.

Nothing else will do.

Yeah they want to try and pick it apart to keep conspiracy going

I hope so.

RepJerryNadler Still crying for the Mueller Report

For what? Just drop it. You all look so stupid after pushing this lie

Smacks of desperation

After Mueller report summary, here's what top Democrats say comes nextDemocrats immediately seized on special counsel Robert Mueller's refusal to exonerate President Trump on the question of obstruction of justice, with Rep. Jerrold Nadler pledging to call Attorney General William Barr to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. Why on hell can't the democrats move on to another issue now? Don't they have anything else to think about? It speaks volumes about the emptiness of their program They will never accept that a non-politician came out of nowhere and beat their beloved Hillary. Maybe Socialists need to try legislating instead of investigating ghosts.
