Democrats tell Supreme Court they need Mueller grand jury material to consider new articles of impeachment

The Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee told the Supreme Court it needs the grand jury materials redacted in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report to decide whether to impeach Trump over his alleged obstruction of the Russia investigation.

Douglas Letter, the Democratic committee's top lawyer, filed a 33-page motion on Monday opposing a Justice Department effort that seeks to have the nation's highest court block the release of the documents. Democrats insist they need the information quickly because the House Judiciary Committee’s “impeachment investigation related to obstruction of justice pertaining to the Russia investigation is ongoing.”

“The Mueller Report grand-jury material remains central to the Committee’s ongoing inquiry into the President’s conduct,” the Democrats wrote. “If this material reveals new evidence supporting the conclusion that President Trump committed impeachable offenses that are not covered by the Articles adopted by the House, the Committee will proceed accordingly — including, if necessary, by considering whether to recommend new articles of impeachment.”

Apparently the media is ignoring the rest of Barr’s remarks today. They should print what he said verbatim because it goes directly to the heart of this Russian collusion delusion.

But Grand Jury testimony is secret. That way if there is not indictment, then the testimony cannot be used for defamation, else the evidence is used at Trail. So Supremes know what needs to happen.

Double jeopardy?


Nope, as long as the dems hold the House, they’re going to go after President Trump. Two impeachments would be a record. And you can also count on them going after him after he leaves office. The NY Atty Gen. ran on a platform of prosecuting Trump and his family. And I suppose whatever passes for Atty Gen. in DC will be after him as well.

Translation: Dems tell the Supreme Court we got nothing else to stimulate our constituency with but “impeach Trump” mantras, and we’ve run out of material, so please help.

SCOTUS should tell them they have their own investigatory powers, they don’t need someone else’s work product and besides, grand jury testimony cannot be turned over to please political objectives.

It is like the virus never going away..

Don't the Democrats understand that Americans have "heard immunity?"

We've heard all the evidence, and concluded that the Democrats are full of Schiff.

These reprobates don’t know when to quit. They are so envious of our President and his family that they are in a demonic frenzy IMHO.

The criminal nitwit meuller ran an illegal coup against President Trump. He and his loser leftist minions should be in prison for the rest of their malignant, dishonest lives or exiled. Hopefully, these worthless degenerates will soon receive true justice.

Good GAWD, Fat B@stard is at it again.......

Hopefully he will catch the corona virus and die because of his revolting obesity—which is the number one “comorbidity factor” realted to corona virus deaths.

Doesn’t matter if it’s Trump - any Republican President will now be the subject of impeachment inquiries if the Rats control the House.
