The Democratic chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said Wednesday said he will go forward with a vote to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for not complying with a subpoena to turn over the full Mueller report.

The Democratic chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said Wednesday said he will go forward with a vote to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for not complying with a subpoena to turn over the full Mueller report despite a last-minute threat from the Justice Department that if it happens, it will ask Presdient Donald Trump to invoke executive privilege over the disputed material.

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. “Worse, this kind of obstruction is dangerous. The Department’s decision reflects President Trump’s blanket defiance of Congress’s constitutionally mandated duties," Nadler said.

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.

Fake news neglects to say it’s against the law to turn over the report

And Trump has payed out again!!

Creepy Nadler

But...Only 2% of the Mueller report is redacted according to all reports...🤔 And it's PUBLICLY AVAILABLE...

Doughboy worries about re-election

This is a farce!

Nadler is the biggest POS in Congress.

Amen!

The Democrats known that the AG is about to lower the boom on them so now they want something to stain his name!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕🤣🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

What have Dems done to help A-M-E-R-I-C-A-N-S? House Dems need to do their job and solve REAL problems affecting REAL American taxpayers.

If the Democrats do this they will fire up Trump’s base and will surly lose the 2020 election.

NADLER DOESN’T WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT HE CAN WALK DOWN THE HALL TO A SECURE ROOM AND READ 98.5% OF THE REDACTED MUELLER REPORT! ALL Dems are refusing to do that! ✔️It They don’t want you to know that.This is nothing but grandstanding and the public needs to know that.

He truly make me nauseous. Enough

It’s required if we want our country to survive.

Big fat deal. More posturing b.s. from the left. YAWN

He should be doing something about the school children singing about chopping the heads off and taking over USA with terror and an elective government congress who supports this! She needs to be kicked out and sent to the people who support this We have enough hate!!!

HouseJudiciary IMPEACH TRUMP NOW BillionDollarLoser BillionDollarFraudster

And then what?

No vote needed. Hold Barr in contempt because HE DID

Case closed! Move on 😥😥😥😥

No big deal. It had no effect on EricHolder.

Keep moving, nothing to see here

good.

Here are all the accomplishments by the Democrat Controlled 116th United States Congress: CONTEMPT! IMPEACH! RESIST! SUBPOENA! INVESTIGATE! HARASS! ATTACK! COMPLAIN! HEARINGS! THREATEN! CRY! SMEAR! The end result will be: Trump gets re-elected in 2020! DTS

As he should there's no reason not to they are stalling for time to be sure they have it all covered up more time u give them more time u r going them to cover it up or cause a distraction from it !!come on do u job !!stop letting potus to continue cover things ,get away all !!

the dems will carry on this grandstanding BS right thru the 2020 election. It will push realDonaldTrump into a landslide and dems will lose the house.

And when they finally get the full report and it doesn't include what they are dreaming of, then what? They will find another person to throw under the bus.

Thanks abc for your help getting POTUS re-elected in 2020... you are doing a great job!

House Democrats give Barr deadline for access to Mueller reportIn a letter, Rep. Jerrold Nadler said if the Justice Department “persists in its baseless refusal to comply” the committee will move toward contempt proceedings. Good. Monday is a great deadline. Better to start a news cycle with contempt than to end one. Just because the GOP haven't bothered to read the Mueller Report doesn't mean that the Dems shouldn't be allowed to read Its like Barr is being ravaged by a dead sheep.
