WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General William Barr will appear before a U.S. congressional panel on Tuesday for the first time since Special Counsel Robert Mueller completed his report into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

The hearing before a House of Representatives appropriations subcommittee is meant to explore the Trump administration’s $29 billion fiscal 2020 budget request for the Justice Department, but Barr is likely to face questions about Mueller’s final report and when a redacted version will be delivered to Congress.

Mueller turned his confidential report over to Barr on March 22 following a 22-month-long probe into whether Donald Trump may have colluded with Russia during his 2016 presidential campaign and whether Trump later obstructed inquiries into the matter.

On March 24, Barr released a four-page letter to Congress laying out what he said were Mueller’s main findings. Barr is expected to submit a redacted copy of the full report to the public and Congress by mid-April, or even sooner.

Hey Barr, out of the 29 billion that you are seeking I want to know along with millions of others not only how much the 22 month investigation cost, that you cut short with your Federalist Society bull shit, but I also want to know that WE the people get the full unredacted report and the grand jury testimony, because one or another we are going to get it, even if that asshole Rudy Giuliani is running around enabling a traitor ................................and Moscow Mitch also enabling this shit......................

2. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,

is anyone else watching this hearing?

I can't say anything bad about Democrats, I can't say anything bad about Democrats, I can't say anything bad about Democrats.

Is there a rule that says Democrats can make AOC the chairperson of every committee?

Unfuckingbelievable they used the hearing to change the narrative back to the border.

OK maybe this hearing is going to improve, sorry.

3. It's not getting any better,

Why are they letting the sob take up all the time talking, make him answer questions.

Where is Nicolle Wallace and Rachel Maddow, for crying out loud. I can't say anything bad about Democrats, I can't say anything bad about Democrats, I can't say anything bad about Democrats.

Why don't they ask him to explain in detail what he had for breakfast?

Republicans are talking about the border making a case for an emergency.

4. The hearing is so bad,

that CNN and msnbc have cut away from it.

5. I read that the cost of

the Mueller investigation was completely covered by the property recovered from Manafort. Manafort's multi million dollar properties and belongings were supposedly MORE than the entire investigation had cost.

6. Latest update page at DKos shows he's digging in.

And Reeps are helping him.

7. Fox News showed more of the hearing,

than CNN and MSNBC showed, what does that tell you? I can think of 5 questions that I would have asked that were never asked.

So, Barr is saying that the only way that he will release grand jury testimony is for an impeachment hearing of Trump. Barr is basically saying that Democrats have to impeach Trump before he will release the grand jury information. By the bye, all of the good stuff is going to be in the grand jury report.
