DOJ: Barr “could not comply with” the subpoena “in its current form without violating the law, court rules, and court orders…”
Legal Insurrection:
President Donald Trump asserted executive privilege over the unredacted report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
The move came after the House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt “for failing to comply with a subpoena for the full report and its underlying materials.”
In a statement tweeted by Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House stated that Americans “see through Chairman [Jerry] Nadler’s desperate ploy to distract from the President’s historically successful agenda and our booming economy.”
The White House noted that Barr “has been transparent and accommodating throughout this process, including by releasing the no-collusion, no-conspiracy, no-obstruction Mueller Report to the public and offering to testify before the Committee.”
The statement goes on to say that Americans “deserve a Congress that is focused on solving real problems.”
Actually, I don’t mind the Democrats going after Trump. They won’t get anywhere and it keeps them from legislating more big and bloated government over us!
Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd sent a letter to Nadler informing him of the executive privilege.
Boyd pointed out that Barr “could not comply with” the subpoena sent by Nadler “in its current form without violating the law, court rules, and court orders, and without threatening the independence of the Department of Justice’s prosecutorial functions.”
Like the White House, Boyd reminded Nadler that Barr and the DOJ have accommodated the committee and Congress as much as they could. But instead of working with them, Nadler “scheduled an unnecessary contempt vote, which” he “refused to postpone to allow additional time for compromise.” KEEP READING
“Dear” democrats,
Eat Shit.
Sincerely,
The Prez
Good! I hope those commie cocksuckers in the house choke on it!
How about a nice warm cup of shut the hell up.
Congress votes to hold Cliffsnotes in contempt over Shakespeare’s Othello report
I read the letter that Boyd send Nadler the other day, outlining exactly how this would play out if Nadler kept trying to play political games. The Sewell scum of the party will all go on CNN now and claim its all a coverup and obstruction.
Don’t they have full unredacted access in that special room, I forget the name, where there is no cell phone use?
For eyes only review? The same place to review all redacted info. There were a couple of Senators that reviewed it including Lin-zay.
Hello Nadler. This Congressional Committee Circus Maximus exceeds anything that has happened up there since the worst days of Reconstruction after the War Between the States. Now this country is engaged in a War of Liberal Aggression, and we are witnessing the very worst that democracy has to offer. I can’t imagine that Chairman Nadler will ever realize or admit that he’s a malignant malefactor, but this is going to be how he’s remembered if Attorney General William Barr is allowed to conduct his investigation into the corruption that lies beneath the Mueller Investigation. God speed, Attorney General William Barr.
…the Holder Defense? Sauce for the goose, bitches!
What comes around, goes around…
Reads to me that perhaps there are new investigations under way based on information presented in the redacted sections making it illegal to share… Bill Barr is the MAN!………….. So is Donald J Trump!
