From Speaker Pelosi tweeted this

[irisblue]

Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) Tweeted:
AG Barr has confirmed the staggering partisan effort by the Trump Admin to spin public’s view of the #MuellerReport – complete with acknowledgment that the Trump team received a sneak preview. It’s more urgent than ever that Special Counsel Mueller testify before Congress. https://t.co/waoGzLntlt

1. i wouldn't bet the farm on it.

[pangaia]

2. May 23 is TOO LONG to wait...

[DirtEdonE]

12. +1 - Especially since they'll just keep giving him more time if he doesn't show up

Where the hell are the SUBPOENAS already?

This is a hostile takeover of the U.S. government. Will nothing be done to stop it?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Doubt we will have to wait that long. Mueller could testify tomorrow, for example.

May 23rd is a limit, not a start.

[CaptYossarian]

37. It takes them that long to read the report to the Republicans.

After all, they take 2 hours to watch "60 Minutes".

[pangaia]

38. LOL

[brush]

40. I want to hear from Mueller not Barr. All Barr is going to do is shill for trump. Why even bother...

with him?

[DontBooVote]

3. So, no later than 5 fucking weeks! That's reeeeal urgent, huh??

[Lulu KC]

18. They're on recess

But what does it take to actually declare a real emergency and bring them back to DC?

[DontBooVote]

23. Truncating recess is not unprecedented in an emergency: Pelosi calls on House to return next week...

...to move $26B state aid package - https://thehill.com/homenews/house/112647-house-may-cut-recess-short-to-move-26b-state-aid-package

Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced the news via Twitter, saying, “I will be calling the House back into session early next week to save teachers’ jobs and help seniors & children.”

And the Senate: Mitch McConnell cancels August recess for Senate

[Lulu KC]

25. Toes and fingers crossed. Go Nancy! n/t

[Wellstone ruled]

26. So Mitch hears foot steps.

And those foot steps are the American Electrait as well as House Investigators looking for Traitor's.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. +1. You could be right. Mitch sniffs the wind much better than tRump ever could, even tho

Even though tRump is clever about social media, he is not in touch with the winds of politics or politicians or the people. He has always lived in a bubble. He can't negotiate, which is the essence of politics.

[bahrbearian]

4. I'm sure he will be truthful ,like the last time he testified.

It was only about a war , million dead , no big deal , kept his job, no big deal.

[jalan48]

7. +1

Some are still holding on to the Mueller life raft.

[DirtEdonE]

13. You can sense the change though

They used to get angry when anyone criticized mueller but they're coming around now.

They're beginning to realize that "mueller time" turned out to be luke warm flat beer and it was all just a ruse to keep us waiting until it was too late. And that time appears to have come.

[zentrum]

15. Yup. He's a Republican.

Noam Chompsky says that the way the Mueller report has been rolled out and the Democrats obession with it as their life-raft, will "guarantee a Trump re-election" in 2020. Just paraphraising Chompsky.

I'm chilled to the bone.

Thanks for posting the WMD clip.

[John Fante]

27. Meh. I see no evidence of this.

Trump is as unpopular as ever despite the disappointing result of the Mueller report. This won't sink or save him.

[lapucelle]

35. We're the Democrats, remember?

Why refer to Democrats as "them" ("their life raft&quot ?

Noam Chomsky endorsed and voted for Jill Stein in 2012 and 2016. He's an ass.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

33. It's not over. There is a LOT in Mueller's report & he got convictions & the House is Democratic. nt

[Duppers]

17. Dang. Didn't remember this.

Thanks!

[lapucelle]

34. A 24 second clip from some random guy's Youtube channel...

[angrychair]

5. More talking. More tweeting. No action.

Why "request?

If you want one of these assholes to testify in Congress

SUBPOENA THEM

Stop asking and start demanding with legal requirements that compel people to appear before Congress.

[DirtEdonE]

14. +1 - Maybe it's time to start expressing our desire for subpoenas

https://www.dems.gov/who-we-are/our-members

[duforsure]

6. Barr conspired , took part in the cover up , and has obstructed justice, and

If he has ties to putin through Alfa bank could be charged for not registering as a foreign agent. This will catch up to Barr , and all those involved in this now.

[BeyondGeography]

8. She really sounds fired up and ready to go

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. That was issued before the report came out. Of course it would use the tone she did.

She is extremely experienced and has already proven she can and will drop a hammer on tRump whenever it will work, as it has for her in the past.

[bdamomma]

9. Maybe

the American people should be fired up and ready to go. We have the numbers.

This would be a good time for the whistle-blowers to come into the scene. They can't be to happy with this stonewalling that has been going on.

[Maven]

10. May 23rd??? They're getting 5 MORE WEEKS to continue to spin this?

That's "urgent"?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. No. Nadler gave Mueller until May 23rd but I expect will testify much sooner. Folks, don't freak

Way too much freaking out and firing off on fragments of factoids without considering the whole fact first. Much too much reactiveness. That is understandable, but still it is not helpful.

[yaesu]

11. barr is acting like tRumps attorney, not the countries attorney nt

[ananda]

16. Way to go Congress!

It's time to set the record straight.

[DirtEdonE]

19. JHC! May 23rd is the fucking Thursday before the Memorial Day Weekend!

What are we trying to do? A holiday weekend news dump?

Posted this on the Nadler thread too because I'd really like an answer.

[Cetacea]

20. Very troubling

A lot of people will have lost interest, obviously.

[SummerSnow]

21. Wow, she's fast.

[Kath2]

24. Right on, Nancy!

[Me.]

30. KR

[paparush]

36. Dear Nancy, Impeach the motherFer.

Thanks,
65% of the County

[Baltimike]

39. Remember when they were screaming "We need someone new and younger as speaker"?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK THEM

[58Sunliner]

41. Is he out of the country? How about yesterday.
