DOJ reveals Dems acknowledged Barr subpoena was 'overbroad'; Nadler fires back, offers to meet 'without conditions'

Hours after the Department of Justice (DOJ) slammed House Democrats for planning a contempt vote against Attorney General Bill Barr -- and charged that Democrats had privately admitted their subpoena requests were "overbroad" -- House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler announced late Tuesday that he is open to negotiating with the DOJ "without conditions."

The remarkable turn of events reopened the possibility that Barr's contempt vote may be postponed or canceled, if both sides return to the negotiating table. Nadler, however, pointedly refused to cancel the planned contempt vote prior to beginning any new negotiations, as the DOJ had demanded.

At the same time, Nadler criticized what he called DOJ "brinksmanship," and blamed the Justice Department for purportedly cutting off negotiations on May 7.

They are afraid and should be because their kabuki is seen as a coverup for their crimes. They are powerless against what is coming against them.

If we had a responsible, functioning press, the public would have a better grasp of what the real narrative is concerning Spygate.

As it now stands most Americans have no conception of what the deep state is & how it has essentially almost toppled the Trump administration.

Nadler is a power mad psycho. Time to open some criminal investigations into his political career. WHo knows what they might find, esp with the help of older active and retired police and FBI agents.

“overbroad”?

What an interesting word...for the malicious, vile harassment of a Constitutional AG who has broken NO law nor failed in his duties. God bless you, AG Barr. I’m grateful for your service.

This fat bastard is dirty from the word dirty. They all think they are invincible and forget their past criminal behavior until you bring it to light

“At the same time, Nadler criticized what he called DOJ “brinksmanship,” and blamed the Justice Department for purportedly cutting off negotiations on May 7.”

Barr is running an investigation. What is there to “negotiate?”

Serious question...

If a poll was ever conducted with the question “Is our two party system working” ? The response would be 90% negative. What is being employed by This so called coup d’ etat against Trump should not be viewed as against Trump but an impeachment of our constitution. .

Everything the man has attempted to get done has been blocked by a radical group composed mainly of members of the democrat party in top leadership legislative and judicial branches of government who view the constitution as an obstacle to their concepts of government intrusion on individual liberty guaranteed by it as they advance their policies.
Vote Democrat and celebrate perversity

The press isn't just biased, the press was involved in the crime.
