Democrats prepare to hold Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt of Congress for defying subpoena.

The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday is expected to approve a measure to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for not complying with a subpoena to turn over the full Mueller report -- the first move in a process to censure the attorney general and fight for the documents in court.

The Justice Department has pushed back on Democrats' demands and instead offered to make an unredacted version of the Mueller report available to a small group of congressional leaders for review at a Justice Department facility. It's unclear whether he'll still comply with the committee's subpoena for his testimony on Capitol Hill later this month.

The Justice Department warned Tuesday night that Barr would ask Trump to invoke executive privilege over the full Mueller report if Democrats moved forward with contempt proceedings.

What a joke this Congress is. When are they going to start working for the people.

Nadler is evil

Barr is coming for all of you. I would suspect the MSM is on his list too. Especially those who willfully, recklessly or negligently passed false news to continue the attempted coup.

Even the Obama admin made fun of him. You know, those all inclusive tolerant people. 😂😂😂😂

This is the guy the dems are counting on. Just saying. Bahaha 🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Terrible idea.

A subpoenas doesnt over rule the law

While they are at it, they should check out his son, he works for a law firm that sue's Trump regularly. DrainTheSwamp DrainTheDeepState MAGA2020 walkaway BLEXIT

Long overdue! Start putting all these Nazi’s where they belong in jail!!!!

Do it .

Stop it bunch of fools in Congress! Leave Barr alone ! He was the messenger Ur goin have mueller testify right from the horses mouth What else do u want Its clear ur creating a circus like atmosphere which is unethical and shameful for elected government ppl to act like clowns

If fat-face Nadler is the face of the Democratic party...good luck.

There is a chance Barr is a little guilty of a few minor Terminological inexactitudes in both his summary of the report and his responses to questions, tut tut.

So the Democrats want to hold the AG in contempt for refusing to break federal law Ok got it. In other words they’re scared to death because they know the AG is about to lower the boom on them..

Shame on what has become of Democrats.

When do Democrats start working for the people they're paid to represent and stop publicly embarrassing themselves by continually failing to impeach Trump? 🤔

Nadler's eyebrow should be held in contempt

'Hot Fun In the Summertime'! Yeah... that's much better, much, much better than calling this State Of Our Days 'Showdown on the Hill'.

Just do it already. They won't concede to the law.

GOOD

Mnuchin needs to be right in there with Barr on contempt.

trump is above the law ag barr is above the law anyone is above the law if trump uses executive privilige or a pardon -

Barr is a disgrace!

Another democrat party gem!

As they should.
