Badge of Honor. Fighting the Anti American leftists who CLEARLY don't comprehend simple laws.
What simple law? Apparently it is the Republicans who forgot. Congress has the right to review the entire report. They are an equal branch of government to the executive branch, remember?

It's a silly political ploy, all of Congress has access to the unredacted Mueller Report that proved the Collusion was a Delusion paid for by the Democrats and yet no Democrat has wanted to see it because they know it proves no collusion and no obstruction.
One thing is certain, the Democrats have adopted 3rd world policy of trying to throw all of their opponents into jail and bankrupting them...truly 3rd world crap.
Nadler and the Democrats say this is a Constitutional Crisis and IF they don't get what they want (material the LAW says they can't have except under certain circumstances like articles of Impeachment) - then our entire Republican is lost and falls apart.
Our Republic is LOST and that's why they are going to charge AG Barr with Contempt.
Now they have to figure out how to get the DOJ to bring a Criminal Charge of Contempt against Barr.
That should be fun.
At issue are two competing principles that have both been blessed by the courts. First, federal judges have recognized that Congress has a broad mandate to investigate and gather information about matters under its jurisdiction. Courts have also blessed the doctrine of “executive privilege”—or the notion that the president is entitled to shield some material from public or congressional scrutiny so that the president’s advisers can offer candid advice.
An executive-privilege challenge was heard 45 years ago by the U.S. Supreme Court in the landmark case United States v. Nixon at the height of the Watergate scandal. Then, a unanimous Supreme Court sharply limited the ability of a president to claim executive privilege.
In the Nixon litigation, however, the issue was whether a president had to obey a grand-jury subpoena in the context of a criminal inquiry by a special prosecutor. There was an Impeachment process in play during that case and the material was released for the coming Impeachment Trial, because the Congress had a right to know .... NOT the case today - there is no Impeachment Process begun by the US House.
Now, it is Congress seeking a different kind of access. How modern courts, including the current U.S. Supreme Court, would weigh such a demand remains far from certain. A recent Court ruling went against releasing Grand Jury Testimony and will probably do the same thing in this case.
If the contempt resolution against Mr. Barr is approved by the full House, the case would be referred to the local U.S. attorney’s office for possible prosecution. In most circumstances, the department has policies against bringing criminal charges against its own officials in clashes with Congress and has historically declined to act on such requests. The House will have to bring their own lawsuit & pay for it.

LOL. Democrat votes are irrelevant these days. They are like little yapping poodles.
One of the greatest gifts to Trump for 2020, was that Nancy Pelosi was put back in charge of the US House at the beginning of 2019.
MAGA!
