Daily Kos: Remember when the House voted 420-0 to demand release of entire Mueller report?

[Botany]

Yup, on March 14 of (***checks calendar***) … oh! … this year! The House voted 420-0 to demand that the entire Mueller report be released. And it didn’t list conditions like, say, it can be released only if William Barr decides not to buy a time-share in Donald Trump’s sigmoid colon with Devin Nunes and Jerry Falwell Jr.

From the New York Times story at the time:

House Republicans joined Democrats on Thursday to demand that the Justice Department publicly release the full findings of the special counsel’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and the possible involvement of President Trump’s campaign.

Though the resolution is nonbinding, Democrats who put it on the House floor are trying to build public pressure on Attorney General William P. Barr before the investigation’s anticipated conclusion.

Far from standing in the way, Republicans joined Democrats en masse. On the 420-to-0 vote, four Republicans voted present.
So why is this suddenly a partisan quagmire? Hey, Ted Lieu wants to know, too.

Today, @HouseJudiciary is voting on whether to hold AG Bill Barr in contempt for refusing to deliver the full Mueller report to the American people.

Just wondering: what is the Trump Administration hiding from the American people?

1. Good question...just wondering: what is the Trump Administration hiding from the American ...

people? If rump is one of the 'best' and 'most popular' presidents ever, then what does rump have to worry about?

2. It could be this:

251 PROVEN CONTACTS between Trump Campaign and Russia

Sorry to repost but this has to be gotten out.

And now Donny wants the media to apologize? The guilt is eating him up from the inside.


Last Updated April 30, 2019

On April 18, 2019, a redacted copy of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s “Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election” (Mueller Report) was released to the public. The Mueller report builds on the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that there were two campaigns to elect Donald Trump— one run by Trump and one run by the Russian government. The Mueller report clearly identified collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, despite repeated denials from Trump and many of his senior advisers and close associates that there were any connections between the two campaigns.

A total of 251 contacts between Trump’s team and Russia-linked operatives have been identified, including at least 37 meetings. And we know that at least 33 high-ranking campaign officials and Trump advisers were aware of contacts with Russia-linked operatives during the campaign and transition, including Trump himself. None of these contacts were ever reported to the proper authorities. Instead, the Trump team tried to cover up every single one of them.

Beyond the many lies the Trump team told to the American people, Mueller himself repeatedly remarked on how far the Trump team was willing to go to hide their Russian contacts, stating, “the investigation established that several individuals affiliated with the Trump Campaign lied to the Office, and to Congress, about their interactions with Russian-affiliated individuals and related matters. Those lies materially impaired the investigation of Russian election interference.”

3. Yes, I saw. Too many contacts to be pure chance, eh? Take care. NT

[Botany]

4. That listed is staggering and every contact is noted as per the time place and persons.

BTW every one of the 251 contacts (not counting Vlad and Donny's 90 minute phone sex last week)
all have one or both of these things in common:

1) They lied about the contact.

2) They tried to cover up the contact.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. When perps go that far to hide every instance, then there must be many more.

Those 251 contacts are only the known ones. There are undoubtedly others and tRump wishes to keep the 251 secret so nobody looks for the other contacts.

And of course to prop up his lies about "no collusion".

Guilty!

6. He has no guilt

Only fear
