As leaders build in slight delays to secure the attorney general’s cooperation, some rank-and-file members are clamoring to start what might be a long court battle.

By Karoun Demirjian Karoun Demirjian Congressional reporter focusing on national security Email Bio Follow April 2 at 5:38 PM Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are split over how aggressive they should be in their quest to get the full report of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, along with any investigative materials that went into its preparation.

“We ought to do it immediately,” said panel member Steve Cohen , reasoning that “it’s going to be a long legal battle anyway. I’m for starting things and moving them along.” That hasn’t sat well with lawmakers, who voted 420 to 0 last month to urge Barr to release the entirety of the report to the public, while still making redacted portions available to lawmakers.

Wow!!! Americans were really not paying close attention, the TRUMP GOP rallys during the TRUMP GOP campaign!!! He stood right there at podium stage and asked Russia for election help!!! He asked them Russia to find those Missing emails on Hillary Clinton! Collusion!!!

Now.

NOW!

That's just stupid.

NOW!!

Patient is always good.

AngelEyes STAT or GTFO

Oh FFS. NOW.

Poor liddle snowflakes. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

How about, 'RIGHT FUCKING NOW?'

Boring

NOW. RIGHT NOW.

How about you get us our report now! As in yesterday!

Because they don’t really want it. Their inaction proves they are quite happy with Trump in office. All we get fromthem these days is a lot of whining and blather but no real action.

Now!

Will someone behave like the american public means something, let us see the report, clean up the mess, if there is any. Let us move forward, i know both parties love being in the mud, so they can steal and charge for favers stop behaving like ignorant eurpeans!

How about yesterday?

The day after they didn’t immediate give it to congress.

Why? Is there a party that works harder to shoot itself in the foot. Donald Trump and the current group of traitors occupying the Senate have handed Dems a gift and the Dems seem intent on self-destruction.

Why would they subpoena it when it's going to be released anyways? Are they idiots?

😄

Just do it

Here’s an idea: hand out multiple copies of the subpoena to all of Trump’s little gopher boys, tomorrow (starting with Barr) with a sticky note attached that says “this is a subpoena. Give us the god damn report, all of it”

They should have already done it

What a BS headline. They’re debating between “immediately” or “in a few days”. Slow news day?

The people want it ASAP! He’s already divided many, don’t let him divide you! We all want the truth and it won’t come from Barr, Trump, or the GOP. If he is exonerated, they would provide the entire report. You can’t use our taxpayer dollars and not provide us the goods!

Whyyyyy would Dems be divided over this issue? Subpoena the report NOW, ASAP.

Get the dam report‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Subpoena him now

And this is why the Dems are going to lose 2020: Can’t make a choice.

Now

Lets just leave it at the part..'Democrats Divided' could use 'Democrats Clueless' as an alternative heading.

What’s the problem. Subpoena now!

What they’re divided over about? Just let Ag ignores the congress requests! This is a pattern of this adm. cover up the corruption and crimes!

The DNC is beating a dead horse.

Hey realDonaldTrump America wants its 400 pages. Hand over the full report! MuellerReport

Just do it!

Right away

Do it NOW! WeThePeople paid $25m+ for the Mueller Report and we want it delivered to HouseDemocrats yesterday, in it's original un-redacted form with ALL the supporting documents.. Don't let trump and Barr keep this vital document from US - Do It ForThePeople

DUH.... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! GET ON WITH IT....PLEASE!!! DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY DOUBT THAT BARR IS TRYING TO DEFLECT AND DELAY MUELLERS REPORT?!

Option 1: Today Option 2: Yesterday

They better watch what they wish for! Rumor has it the Mueller report confirms the players involved in the Russian hoax!

WTF does Democratic Party want? They want us to be unified, but yet Party can’t show unity in the House? Damit get your heads out of you arses & keep a unified front until we get the Senate & the orange dilwad out of the WH! And over how soon to send subpoenas! Getshittogether!

Dems should quit being too nice with the bully, corrupt GOP and Trump.... Congress must Subpoena NOW the Report & Mueller! SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff RepJerryNadler ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport SubpoenaMuellerNow

The longer it takes the closer it is to the election. Bad for Trump, good for opponents...?

It takes 5 minutes to fill out a subpoena.

You do not name 1 Democrat who is against the subpoena in this article. Stop trying to make news - you’re supposed to report it

The report comes out in a few days. At least read it first dumbasses 🤣

The fact that they will likely loose the probable court battle and make them seem ineffective again on an issue they elevated in media

I wish they’d put this much effort into governing.

Unbelievable

Bummer for them . The coup failed now it's Hillary Time. TermLimitsNow

I say ASAP

NOW!!!!!!!

If Mueller is part of preparing t report release, y w/d it take so long? He nos every word, clause, sentence n this report & every attachment. He knows wht can b released & wht can't. Don't con me that it takes a Herculean effort 2 prepare this report. MUELLER KNOWS THE REPORT

ASAFP

No they’re not

Yes please so then they can act like Mueller was a Russian agent until they latch on to something else.

Didn't Barr say it was coming? We cannot wait 2 weeks? You waited over 2 years for the report.

Do it now.. idiots have no patience

Just wondering, was it the dems that changed the law on how these reports would be handed to the attorney general only? Didn't they do this after the Clinton scandal?

OMG...just stop being such wussies!! We should already have the damn thing.

Just do it already

It's late, already. Do it.

They should subpoena Mueller. Barr got appointed, and everyone said he'd close down the Mueller investigation in a week. A week later, the investigation is 'done' and Barr says Trump's innocent. Yeah, that's not sketchy. /s

Just do it.

Here’s hoping that it’s faster than their efforts to get Trump’s tax returns.

why because it going to be a big nothing or expose their party as ones who need russia help to beat trump.

Good grief, let it go. It's over. No more indictments. Stop being so pathetic, TheDemocrats. It's embarrassing.

SpeakerPelosi RepJerryNadler do it as soon as possible before it is destroyed. ReleaseTheFullMuellerReportNOW

Patience, children.

China

Speedily—- well done

Yesterday, when the deadline was up.

'Now' would be one suggestion.
