AG William Barr warns he could refuse to appear at House hearing on Mueller report; objects to format
Quote:
WASHINGTON — Attorney General William Barr has warned a House committee that he could refuse to appear at Thursday's anticipated hearing on the Justice Department's handling of the Russia investigation if lawmakers go through with a plan to let staff lawyers question him.
Report: Barr May Bail on House Democrats’ Mueller Report Hearing
Quote:
CNN notes that there is still time to iron out some kind of deal ahead of Thursday’s hearing, and it’s not clear if Barr is just bluffing in an effort to make his testimony less intensive. But if he skips out on the hearing, it would confirm his and the Trump administration’s disregard for congressional oversight and the rule of law, and — along with the subpoena fight for the unredacted Mueller report, or the efforts to obtain Trump’s tax returns — provide yet another path to a constitutional crisis.
WASHINGTON — The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is asking special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before his panel as soon as possible about his report on the Trump campaign and Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Chairman Jerrold Nadler released a three-sentence letter to Mueller requesting his appearance, minutes after Attorney General William Barr ended a news conference in which he described the special counsel’s report. The New York Democrat tweeted that Congress and the public need to hear directly from Mueller to “better understand his findings.”
That's retarded. Truth and falsity are independent of Mueller's or Weissman's opinion. And the truth is that the facts stated on the report provide no basis for concluding Trump committed any obstruction crimes. In other words, he was cleared, and those 31% are much smarter than the moron you quoted.
I have no problem but I can't say the same for you.
