House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler blasted Attorney General Bill Barr at a hastily-called Wednesday evening press conference.

“The Attorney General appears to be waging a media campaign on behalf of President Trump — the very subject of the investigation at the heart of the Mueller report,” Nadler said. “Rather than letting the facts of the report speak for themselves, the Attorney General is taking unprecedented steps to spin Mueller’s nearly two-year investigation.”

. . .

“One, he summarized the report and cherry-picked findings in his March 24th letter to Congress,” he charged.

“Two, he withheld summaries written by the special counsel that were intended for public consumption,” he continued.

1. Every one of those criminals need to be held responsible for their illegal acts.

2. I doubt Barr will be removed by the repug senate

however put the fear of impeachment in his head.

3. He has no fear of impeachment, I am sure of that.

4. Later. They've got to read the unredacted report first. They might have a line of impeachment

proceedings from there.

The idea is to honor process. First order of oversight is the president and the report.

An impeachment proceeding will give them the entire grand jury testimony, appendices and unredacted report.

They can go after Barr later.

5. Do you think they could impeach an AG for not turning over a document fast enough, or because

their 4 page summary didn't reflect a 400 page report?

Keep in mind what we already know they're NOT impeaching Trump for.

6. This is why the Repugnant Senators voted for him as they were counting on him

working for Trump and them rather than for the American people.

[Mc Mike]

7. Impeach that swine, subpoena Mr. Mueller.

8. That does sound like a Bill Of Particulars.

Bad news, for Bill in particular.

10. Ha! Well played. n/t

9. I was hoping they were real charges. No one is above the law.
