Next up in the fight over Robert Mueller’s final report: the redaction wars

House Democrats want to see everything related to the special counsel’s nearly two-year-old investigation into Russia meddling in the 2016 presidential election. But their open-book demands stand at odds with the Justice Department’s desire to black out sensitive areas throughout Mueller’s 400-page submission.The high-stakes chess match will play out on both political and legal grounds, and so far neither side has yet to show any signs of compromise.

“It seems to be shaping up as a classic collision of interests by two coordinate branches of government, each with their own respective legitimate interests that may be in conflict with one another,” said David Laufman, who ran the Justice Department’s counterintelligence unit from 2014 to 2018 and had a key role overseeing the early stages of the FBI’s Russia investigation before Mueller’s appointment.

Robert Mueller was the Democrats choice, now by reviewing the underlying documents they want to question all the decisions he made. The Democrats want to demonize him because he found nothing.

Two words: patriotic LEAK

This is why the GOP is trying to stack the courts with corrupt judges.

House committee to prepare subpoenas for full Mueller reportThe House Judiciary Committee will prepare subpoenas this week seeking special counsel Robert Mueller's full Russia report as the Justice Department appears likely to miss an April 2 deadline set by Democrats for the report's release. Why not just let the AG do his job. Please recall that hundreds of copies of the Starr Report about a blow job were VERY publicly released Day-One. And that they included ALL the 'secret' grand jury testimony. Spare us the faux outrage, trumpers. SoSofieFatale Please stop characterizing the Trump administration as “missing deadlines”. They are deliberately refusing to cooperate. Why is all of his taking so long? Because Trump doesn’t want the truth to come out, FULL STOP.
