The Justice Department is trying to stave off an"enforcement action" against Attorney General William Barr this week, making a rare offer to have the House Intelligence Committee review materials from special counsel Robert Mueller's report if House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff agrees to back down.
Last week Schiff said that he would hold a business meeting Wednesday to take an unspecified action against the Justice Department for not providing the committee documents related to Volume I of Mueller's report on links between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
Somebody in justice scared?
NO FUCKING WAY. RepAdamSchiff
Sounds like an immunity deal, which means Barr 100% obstructed justice and everyone knows it.
How about no more deals for wealthy white guys and have them face the consequences of their illegal activity. Revolutionary idea I know...
Screw the justice department individual 1 has corrupted that Dept
Wow, that's an admission that an admission that Barr acted inappropriately, is it not?
AdamSchiff SpeakerPelosi DO NOT CAVE INTO THE WHITE HOUSE
Lady Justice is supposedly blind. Just follow the law. RepAdamSchiff the AG was plainly in contempt, so he must face the consequences.
“I stole your car. I’ll give it back if you don’t have me arrested.” No.
Nope. Don't negotiate for what is rightfully yours anyways.
What?!!
This is totally what an innocent DOJ and Attorney General would do. The DOJ and AG are negotiating like people who have broken the law and know it. THIS IS NOT HOW THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK.
Hell no!! Let them rot!
BadIdea
Dear Adam, don’t do it.
DO NOT CAPITULATE. Get the damned report and continue GOING AFTER BARR.
no deal
As a democratic I say absolutely NOT!!!!!!
Are you effing kidding me?
We The People don’t care about Donald Trump‘s taxes are Donald Trump’s business deals we care about America
Democrats let them complain they will have six more years
Please tell me this is joke!!!
Hey Pencil neck why don’t you sell cotton candy on the street , but then again it prob be fake candy
No deal ! You’ll be fighting to eternity to get them.
Barr still needs a lesson.
Following the law is non-negotiable. Please stop letting these corrupt bullies get away with abusing their power and rewriting the rules.
No deal
No deals! The only reason he wants a deal is because he knows his ass is in a sling! NEVER EVER LET A LAW BREAKER OFF THE HOOK!!!
What? That’s not how government works!! That’s a negotiation between me and my 11yr old. What the hell?!?!?
'The Justice Department offers to follow it's legal obligations if the HIC doesn't punish it for not following it's legal obligations.'
Art of the Deal! Don't do it. Accountability.
Now what does that tell us?
Since when does the justice department negotiate about whether to impeach the head of the justice department? A thousand thousand thousand times NO deal! Who do they think RepAdamSchiff is, trump or senatemajldr ?
ACTUAL BREAKING: BARR JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ENGAGES IN EXTORTION ARRANGEMENT AND TRUMPIAN OBSTRUCTION SCHEME.
Foolish to give leaker Adam Schiff anything.
Lynnsplace2018 Does the Justice dept. think this is let’s make a deal?
Sure, make the deal. Get the materials. Then do what a Republican would do. Renege.
Dear RepAdamSchiff - they're weakening. Do not cave. We all know it's only a matter of time before the full, unredacted Report gets out. But make damn sure it's a *long* time before Barr does....
The DOJ is trying to plea-bargain Mueller documents?
Yea bc American justice is just one big poker game. Barr playing with our country so he doesn’t have to be accountable. Fuckthatshit
WTF
Fake news!!!
Thsrs straight up bribery. Or blackmail. Or some crime they probsdbly haven't got a proper name for it yet. RepAdamSchiff please do not accept any deal! They have to give you the materials anyway. Barr is selling you a car you already own.
Don’t do it RepAdamSchiff Don’t.
Play trumps game... say ok. Then after you get it accidentally forget about the deal and proceed with 'enforcement action'.. but if you can't keep to it and do the latter NO DEALS. (Or bribery which is what this is)
So RepAdamSchiff and the Intel Committee have the upper hand... for God's sake please use it and take realDonaldTrump and his thugs out to the wood shed instead of buckling for a few scraps of paper you will eventually get anyway...
No deal.
sounds a lot like a bribe to me 🤔
You can lie to him.
*Novel Approach* Take the materials and still follow thru with enforcement action. Would it be illegal? No. Would it be in bad faith? Maybe. Has this entire admin commited tons of illegal acts and continuously acted in bad faith when given the choice to do otherwise? Hell yes.
No!!!
Looks as if Comey statements are at Question ? (Coopers Town Hall) Treason is a death sentence under Law .... Don't attach the messenger ! You have been exposed for you are . Facts not Fake News !
Enfuckingforce contempt against AG Barr and, get the report . Wipe that smirk off of his jowls.
No. Absolutely not. This is outrageous.
Don’t do it! It’s another delay and obfuscate tactic.
No no no no no... there's no bargaining here. Who the fuck do you think... HAND IT OVER.... PERIOD ! prisonbitches
NoDeal
NO DEALS ! Right is might. Giving any thought to this proposal, gives credibility where none exists. Truth & justice prevail, eventually.
RepAdamSchiff NO DEALS. TAKE THEM ALL DOWN
No deal. Throw Barr's ass into jail until he fully complies with all subpoenas. Bring back the rule of law.
RepAdamSchiff ImpeachBarrNow The PEOPLE DO NOT MAKE DEALS WITH THE CONSTITUTION IN THE BALANCE. THE MUELLER REPORT belongs to THE PEOPLE. Barr CAN and WILL be brought before THE PEOPLE to answer for his dereliction and malfeasance.
Wait, so DoJ acknowledges that releasing the docs is acceptable and they are being withheld for purely political reasons? How is that even possible? That should be grounds for impeachment of Barr on its own.
Wait, wait, what? What country is this? This entire administration is a disgrace and a black mark in our history
This is not enforceable, and shows just how desperate TeeTime trump is! If congress uncovers a crime by the potus, They are constitutionally bound to impeach! So again, republicans want to push the constitution aside to hold onto power! Time & again reps shit on the constitution
RepAdamSchiff this is not a good deal.
not a good deal.
We don't negotiate with kidnappers
.. RepAdamSchiff .. standing US rule .. you don't negotiate with terrorists
NO DEAL .... THEY SHOULD GET THE MUELLER MATERIALS AND INDICT BARR .... THIS OFFER SHOWS HOW GUILTY AND SLEAZY TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION
RepAdamSchiff, take the report AND the enforcement action please.
What... they are trying to bargain the information they have and are required to turn over? That doesn't sound to me like justifiable reason to withhold information.
I smell a rat.
Hell, no! RepAdamSchiff Mark this down as further contempt of Congress and arrest these people.
DONT DO IT!! They think there above the law, make them pay!! DONTDOIT!
In other words, the department never had a national security or other legitimate reason to withhold the report.
Please don't RepAdamSchiff
Bullshit. Don't let them keep getting away with this crap.
Or, Mr. Barr, turn over the materials like you’re supposed to anyway, and then face the consequences for the actions you took willingly and with open eyes.
No! A thousand times NO!
This isn’t a fucking swap meet.
... he wants immunity from deliberately misleading the public in exchange for evidence that he deliberately misled the public?
