'I Demand It': Maxine Waters Refuses To Let Trump And Republicans Bury The Mueller Report

‘I Demand It’: Maxine Waters Refuses To Let Trump And Republicans Bury The Mueller Report


Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, the new chair of the House Financial Services Committee, said she will not accept a scenario in which Robert Mueller’s report isn’t released in its entirety to the public.

During an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, Rep. Waters not only should the special counsel report be made public, but it shouldn’t be redacted to the point that the American people won’t understand the findings.

“The public needs to know what is going on,” the Democratic congresswoman said. “I demand it and I’m trying to organize everybody that I can to call for this report to be released to the public.”



Waters said:

No, I don’t like the fact that Cohen will be in a closed hearing with members testifying on anything that he said, he’s not said. I think it should be out in the public. The public wants to know. This investigation has been going on for a considerable amount of time. Not only should we hear from all of those who are continuing to be called, but when this report, this investigative report, is completed, I want it to be public and I’m starting right now saying that I and many others do not agree that it should be so redacted that you can’t understand it, that it won’t be released, that only members of Congress can get it. The public needs to know what is going on. I demand it and I’m trying to organize everybody that I can to call for this report to be released to the public.


The pressure to make the report public is crushing Republicans

I know I heard a male senator say it but forgot specifics. He was really confident that he would be sure to get it to the public. No fanfare just very sure of himself and I believe him. I certainly believe Waters, Wyden and others will do their best to get it to us.

halls, and he's been all over the Russia thing since even before the election. I bet he and Adam Schiff are having conversations.

A real leader, but she was already a leader. Whatever she was, she has become more of it. She's so effective and bold. She's a great communicator and nobody's chump.
