‘Keep your mouth shut’: Dems erupt over Barr’s Mueller report rollout
Politico/MSN ^ | 4-17-2019 | 4-17-2019

Posted on 04/17/2019 5:53:06 PM PDT by tcrlaf

House Democrats exploded in anger Wednesday over Attorney General William Barr’s plans to roll out special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, accusing the Justice Department of trying to spin the report’s contents and protect President Donald Trump.

Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will hold a press conference at 9:30 a.m. Thursday morning to review the report, which may be heavily redacted. Reports that DOJ officials have already discussed Mueller’s findings with the White House only further inflamed tensions.

“I’m deeply troubled by reports that the WH is being briefed on the Mueller report AHEAD of its release,” tweeted House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler. The New York Democrat added that DOJ informed him that Congress will not receive the report until around 11 a.m. or 12 p.m. Thursday. “This is wrong,” Nadler added.

A Senate aide confirmed that lawmakers don't expect to receive Mueller's report until 11 a.m. on Thursday — after Barr and Rosenstein's press conference — and a discussion about providing a less-redacted version to Congress won't begin until Friday. Mueller‘s probe focused on Russia's attempt to interfere in the 2016 election and whether any associates of Trump aided the scheme.

“Why is William Barr holding a press conference if not to (once again) try and frame the Special Counsel’s findings,” tweeted Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), a member of the House Judiciary Committee. “Just release the full report and let the American people judge for themselves!"

why is it ‘wrong’ for the president to be briefed on the report? It’s THE REPORT... they actually work for him... why should they get to see it first?

Especially since Trump is the SUBJECT of the report. Good grief.

...... Like it or not..... No matter what the security clearances are .... .... Those that are cleared to read the report at whatever level .... And ..... Whatever those "Color Codes" mean will be USELESS ....

.... I Mean Heck .... Whatever is in the report will be leaked to the media .... Because at this point ..... No matter what the rules are ..... There are no rules.

.... There is a compulsion among the Left to bring down this popular President at any cost....

..... In short ..... Tomorrow ... And the weeks that Follow ... will be an interesting News Cycle ....

The Dem are going to go ballistic no matter what Barr, Trump or Mueller do. They might as well do what they want.

And we know that Schiff will be the leaker; it’s what he does.

I would love it if Barr and Rosenstein come out and say that they are now investigating the Democrats role in their attempt to use the FBI and DOJ in a covert effort to unseat a sitting president via the Steele Dossier and other lies. I can dream. Miracles do happen!

The Naggler is deeply troubled.

He’s deeply disturbed. Leftists are “going of the rails on a crazy train”.

I wonder if Hillary, Obama, etc., are still in possession of their passports.

I keep telling people that they don't need passports. They have lots of money, power, friends, and people that owe them favors. If they want to disappear, they can do so. They don't need no stinkin' passport to go from one country to another.

What makes you think they need passports to travel around?

Nadler himself needs to be investigated by the FBI, NY State Tax Division, and possibly Congress. Key witness against him, Al Sharpton.

Two greedy commie pricks who hate each other. Would be a great bloodfest. My money’s on Sharpton.

Just a Herman Muenster head bang against wall. No plaster fell. House did not shake. He did not injure anything important, just his head.
