BREAKING: Top House and Senate Democrats REJECT A.G. Barr's offer to view a less-redacted version of Mueller's report, calling the conditions too strict and demanding broader access for more lawmakers.

Link to tweet

Barr had offered to let the Gang of Eight (Pelosi, Schumer, McCarthy, McConnell and Intel Committee leaders), along with Judiciary Committee leaders see the less-redacted version. But Dems say more members on the relevant committees need to see it to make informed judgments.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler subpoenaed for the report earlier Friday, a well as all its underlying evidence.

1. Good. The more fuck-yous they can deliver to that guy, the better.

[Chin music]

6. Time to ROLL TIDE on the message Democrats. It's not ok trumps. America rejects all you stand for.

'You,...ain't us."

[uponit7771]

2. Hmmm, Mueller report polling must be horrible for Trump. Now Trumps lashing out at Mueller, Warren

... has come out for impeachment and now this.

[Chin music]

5. +1

HAllaluah!!

[uponit7771]

8. Hopefully this is the case, seeing Red Don at least coordinated his message with wikileaks ...

... people are understanding this is more than just obstruction of justice.

[world wide wally]

12. We'll know we got him when he lashes out at Barr

[uponit7771]

13. +1, he's already calling Mueller Crazy and mostly untrue report

[sheshe2]

18. I just read that donnie's poll numbers are sinking.

Sad.

I will add this just in case...on my comment of being sad.

[uponit7771]

24. +1, that Ipsos poll does NOT look good for him. 52% of Americans want to see the un-redacted report

... so as long as democrats keep that in play it looks like Red Don is hiding something

[lapucelle]

26. Is that smilie sippin' on Trump's tears?

[sheshe2]

28. White tears...

or are the orange?

[bdamomma]

33. I hope his numbers

go lower. He will not play us, or this country. Vile POS he is.

Hi sheshe2

[sheshe2]

35. This low I hope.

He will never get his ass under that one!

Hey, badamomma.

[Chin music]

3. "You can take notes...BOTH of you..."

And we'll just "check your work". when you go each day....
-WE WERE ALL BORN STUPID?

[FakeNoose]

4. Calling all leakers

Time to go to work, guys! We need this report leaked - NOW!

[rurallib]

7. what a fucking insult that he would even make an offer like that

but he is Trump's personal protector and will do anything for him.

Let us hope it earns him some time in the pokey.

[jmowreader]

9. No dice, Mr. Barr

Only the full, unredacted report will do.

[C_U_L8R]

10. I think Barr really screwed up

and continues to screw up. The Trump strategy is aggression and obstruction. That’s not a way to win. At all. What is Barr thinking is the best that could happen. He already torched his reputation. He may well go to jail too (like John Mitchell).

[spanone]

11. Good for them. Fuck Barr. Send the subpoenas.

[dlk]

14. Barr is Stalling for Time

[Mr.Bill]

15. He wouldn't have offered even this

if he didn't think he was in trouble. Somebody blinked.

[Karadeniz]

16. Good for them!!!❤

[watoos]

17. I called it,

Barr is in the 4 corners defense. He has no intention of releasing all of Mueller’s report.
Barr wants to stall and run this right up to the election where he will claim he doesn’t want to muddy the election waters.
Debates begin in 6 weeks, time is ticking to get Mueller’s report released.

[machoneman]

20. His reluctance methinks helps us. Nothing to hide, eh? Then release the full report...

to the Gang of Eight at least.

Major misstep here. It's just like the Nixon days when at the end, it all came out anyway. Barr is a stone-cold fool!

[notdarkyet]

27. Gang of eight, one of them has ratted for months to trump. Forget which one. He should

Not be part of the group anymore, think that’s why Barr picked the gang.

[bdamomma]

34. Found this

here is the gang of 8


Sen. Michael Bennet, D-CO
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-IL
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-AZ
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC
Sen. John McCain, R-AZ
Sen. Robert Menendez, D-NJ
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-FL
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY[6]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_of_Eight_(immigration)

Is this correct??

[napi21]

36. I don't know for sure but even if it is, that means one is dead (McCain) and

and one retired (Flake). So is it now the gang of 6?

[Blecht]

19. This is good -- but they need to express their reasons more strongly

They need to paint Barr as the corrupt toady he is -- he's a fucking liar and can't be trusted with anything.

In fact, they should be demanding his resignation instead of giving documents or statements that come from him any credence whatsoever.

[SunSeeker]

21. They need to impeach Barr and Trump.

[watoos]

22. It is as plain as the nose on my face,

Barr is stalling. Barr just rejected the subpoena saying it is premature.
The election is getting closer.

[zentrum]

23. Way to go!

[DeminPennswoods]

25. Hardball

[Evolve Dammit]

29. Good. We don't need your massaged aka coverup/ whitewash message.

[Blue Owl]

30. We don't even need Barr to begin with

Just the full report from Mueller.

[brush]

31. Must be some really damaging stuff that Barr's fighting tooth and nail to keep hidden.

32. I doubt Barr will let them see it if as I suspect the report includes enough information to

justify impeachment proceedings against Trump.

[Chakaconcarne]

38. geezus...if Trump has been exonerated, here's his chance to

prove he was right all along....

[panfluteman]

39. NO THANKS, Barr! We Got Plenty of Dirt on the Trump Gang to Begin Impeachment Hearings Right Now!!!

41. "How about if we just cover up some of the things we want to?"

That's essentially what they're saying.
