    AG William Barr warns he could refuse to appear at House hearing on Mueller report; objects to format


    WASHINGTON — Attorney General William Barr has warned a House committee that he could refuse to appear at Thursday's anticipated hearing on the Justice Department's handling of the Russia investigation if lawmakers go through with a plan to let staff lawyers question him.

    Barr's threat is a new escalation in the tension between House leaders and the Trump administration, which has vowed to resist Democratic efforts to probe more deeply into President Donald Trump's conduct in office and his outside business dealings.

    Barr is scheduled to make two appearances before Congress this week to answer questions about the special counsel investigation. The first, on Wednesday, is before the Republican controlled Senate Judiciary Committee.

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., who is leading an effort to seek a complete version of Russia special counsel Robert Mueller's completed inquiry, has proposed that Barr be questioned Thursday by committee counsels in addition to lawmakers. Nadler also said Barr should attend a separate, closed-door meeting with the panel.

    I hope he does refuse. The nation needs to move on from the illegal hoax perpetrated by the Demon crats. The only hearings that should be taking place are investigations into the illegal spying campaign that were implemented by the Obama Whitehouse.

  5. There is a lot of diversity of views over on Fox.

    You don't get that on the networks that you watch.

    The judge had mueller hanging trump for years and that did not work out for him and his co-whiner Shep Smith. So now they are just talking longer and louder about impeaching trump to compensate for it. Exhibit A above.

    a March 27 letter, Mueller revealed that he pressed Barr to make elements of his report public on March 25 — a day after he finalized his report — and urged him to do so again. But Barr ultimately determined to keep the report secret for nearly a month, reviewing it for several categories of information to redact — and he made no indication to Congress or the public that Mueller disagreed with his handling of the report.

    Mueller also wrote that Barr’s summary “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of the investigation, which centered on links between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia, as well as whether the president obstructed the probe.

    The revelation added new fuel to Democrats’ allegations that Barr was trying to spin the results of the Mueller investigation in a favorable light for Trump. Democrats have also charged that Barr misled the public about Mueller’s findings on obstruction of justice — in particular, Mueller’s citation of a longstanding Justice Department policy against indicting a sitting president.

    The GOP has successfully ran on imprisoning political enemies, at least this time it would be justified

    These idiot Dems just will not give up on this garbage. This will prove to be a losing strategy for them and I am delighted!
