Justice agrees to release key Mueller evidence to Congress

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has agreed to turn over some of the underlying evidence from special counsel Robert Mueller's report, including files used to assess whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said Monday.

The news comes hours before Democrats were to start a series of hearings intended to galvanize public attention on the findings of the Russia investigation. John Dean, a star witness from Watergate who helped bring down Richard Nixon's presidency, is one of the witnesses. The hearing, which will also feature former U.S. attorneys, is on"presidential obstruction and other crimes."

Monday's hearing is the start of three days of Russia-related action on Capitol Hill. The House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday intends to review the counterintelligence implications of the Russian meddling. Mueller said there was not enough evidence to establish a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, but he said he could not exonerate Trump on obstruction.

With Trump pledging that"we're fighting all the subpoenas," Democratic leaders want to avoid repeated floor votes on contempt resolutions that would detract from their legislative agenda.

What a charade. Complete joke. Fortunately I'm thinking most folks inherintly know this.

The Dimms have nothing else. Hopefully that party will die and 2 other parties will come out of it. One for the moderates and one for the liberals. DemsRdone

The deep state is panicked! They know the last administration was corrupt to the core and now they have to save the king.

Who pays Dean?

Avenatti wasn't available to testify? Because, unlike Dean, he hasn't been convicted yet? Dems further degrade the House. It's a Mad House.

Thank You

Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen admits that Democrats bringing convicted felon & disbarred lawyer John Dean in front of Congress is a 'show' Since getting out of jail, Dean has spent his years claiming that scandals in Republican admins are worse than Watergate
