Reuters: House Judiciary chief sets Monday deadline for full Mueller report
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler gave Attorney General William Barr until Monday morning to give lawmakers access to the full, unredacted version of U.S. Special Counsel Robert’ Mueller report on his Russia probe.
Nadler informed Barr of the 9 a.m. (1300 GMT) Monday deadline in a letter on Friday after the attorney general failed to show up at a House of Representatives Judiciary Committee hearing scheduled for Thursday.
“In refusing to comply with congressional oversight requests, the department has repeatedly asserted that Congress’s requests do not serve ‘legitimate’ purposes,” Nadler said in the letter.

Update: Trump opponent Jerry Nadler demands Bill Barr give Democrats EVERYTHING from the Mueller report including secret grand jury information and cites Bill and Hillary Clinton investigations as his model (Daily Mail).
WNU Editor: The U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler wants access to the grand jury files. Not going to happen. Even I know that it is against the law to release grand jury testimony. And as for accessing the rest of the Mueller report, law-makers can go now and read it (but only two have) .... Just 2 lawmakers have seen less-redacted Mueller report (Politico). So what is next? Congress wants former Special Counsel Mueller to show up, and hope that he can give them something to continue the process of indictment/impeachment. They are also hoping to question former White House counsel Don McGahn,. I think in both cases the Democrats are going to be disappointed.
Not all of this redacted materials is only Grand Jury stuff, and even in Grand Jury cases it is possible to get court to ok making it accessible
ReplyDeleteThere are certain intel methods that are classified. But from what I understand that material is in the less-redacted report at the Justice Department for Congressional members to read. As for grand jury testimony. As I said. Not going to happen.

ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying very much these howlin' dimz. What a kick.
I really doubt the dems want Mueller to testify. They would only favor that if the repubs could not ask questions. A public hearing where repubs could ask Mueller questions is a mine field for Mueller and a big risk for the democrat narrative. Doubt it will happen.
