Someday, Trump will not be in office. Congress needs a full accounting of his misdeeds to ensure they dont happen again.
For nearly two years, the country has waited to read the report. Over those many months, President Trump has raged against the institutions that make our democracy possible among them, the free press, the courts and his own Department of Justice. When the special counsel indicted members of the presidents inner circle, his attacks got louder.
Before the formal investigation began, Mr. Trump fired his F.B.I. director. He later fired his attorney general. He reportedly attempted to fire the special counsel himself. Despite this profoundly unacceptable behavior, the special counsel persevered and wrote his report.
We the members of the Judiciary Committee, the House of Representatives and the entire American public are still waiting to see that report. We will not wait much longer. We have an obligation to read the full report, and the Department of Justice has an obligation to provide it, in its entirely, without delay. If the department is unwilling to produce the full report voluntarily, then we will do everything in our power to secure it for ourselves.

(4,157 posts)I was so disgusted to hear on CNN that the "Mueller report exonerates" Pussy Grabber. One would THINK that professional fucking journalists (and not the Fox variety) would KNOW when a 400 page report has been SUMMARIZED by Pussy Grabber's hand picked AG.

(50,563 posts)It would be extremely hard to write a summary of a document that big in two days. More than likely they took what we know about the Russian Troll Farms, threw a little but Trump didnt have anything to do with them bs in, and wrote the summary before Mueller issued his report.

(7,142 posts)A subpoena should be filed on April 3rd.

(363 posts)That subponea will be filed on Wednesday if they don't get the full report tomorrow. Then if they ignore the subpoena it triggers the mass protests that have been organized previously if Mueller was fired.

(54,445 posts)He will get the House Judiciary committee to issue a subpoena in short order. When Barr refuses to comply, a Contempt of Congress citation will follow. Barr will still refuse. THEN the constitutional confrontation starts. DO we have a dictatorship or don't we? I give it a 50-50 chance we'll know the answer to that before the Easter Bunny has completed his rounds, and a 90-10 chance we'll know by May Day.

(100,104 posts)I call bullshit. They knew what they wanted it to say and now they are burying the evidence. They either didn't read it, or they set a new record for speed reading. I'm pointing to the latter.

(4,441 posts)That Trump will try a distraction - like closing the border with Mexico, on APRIL 3 just to try and knock the Mueller report out of the headlines.
Count on it.
