Don't tell me what to do, who do you think you are?

I'm serious - what exactly are you referring to?

It's pretty well known that you have a farked up brain, and read books instead of playing with the other kids, so what the hell are you yapping about?

 

Barr refused to advance the narrative when he commented on  the initial findings of the report (ironically he was not under any obligation to release anything )

 

Worst cover-up in history

 

Then a Democrat asked him if the FBI had spied on the Trump campaign and said yes (which was... gasp... the truth)

 

He must be destroyed

In reality... 

 

Jerry Nadler has declared a constitutional crisis.

 

-National Review Editorial 

 

The proximate cause is a couple of redacted lines, including one footnote, in a 400-page report. Let’s be glad for the sake of the republic that an entire page wasn’t withheld.

 

To review the plot: Robert Mueller conducted what was in effect an impeachment inquiry from within the executive branch for two years. In defiance of the spirit of the special-counsel regulations, he wrote a long, detailed narrative account of what his investigation found, even though he didn’t accuse the president of a crime (he did, however, “not exonerate” the president on obstruction, a bastard concept hitherto unknown to American law).

 

Nothing in the regulations required Attorney General Bill Barr to release any of the report, let alone release it in its entirety. He did anyway with minimal, entirely defensible redactions that the DOJ worked through with Mueller. He then testified for hours in public before a Senate committee about his handling of the report, while declining to appear for more voluntary testimony before a House committee the next day over a process issue (the committee wanted a counsel to question Barr; the attorney general objected, likely because he didn’t like the optics).

 

Collectively, then, and often working at cross-purposes, the Trump administration has done Congress an enormous favor the last two years. It appointed a special counsel; not only let him finish his work, but cooperated with him (despite Trump’s ineffectual scheming against the investigation); didn’t object to his writing a narrative for public and especially congressional consumption; and with only a brief delay handed the full report, signed, sealed, and delivered, over to Congress to potentially to use as a roadmap for impeachment. (And, oh yeah, the report has been published as a book and is being sold on Amazon.) Most of Jerry Nadler’s work has been done for him.

 

For the New York Democrat to turn around and have his committee vote to hold Bill Barr in contempt is truly bizarre. Barr’s alleged offense is the redactions. But he has made an almost entirely un-redacted report available to top Democrats to review. They have refused to do so, boycotting the further information that they say they so desperately need.

of course he does.

 

 

He really does I think... they had the narrative humming along nicely until he showed up,and now he's talking about investigating the investigators etc...  

 

He's sabotaging the "cover-up" narrative at every turn as well... I'm now reading that something like 99% of the unredacted Mueller report is available to those who need to see it... worst cover-up in history

 

This from a guy who could have legally simply locked the report in his desk drawer... seems like exceptional transparency and  cooperation with the House to me.

 

Seriously, off the record Frank, you do understand that this is absurd political theater right
