Now that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has finished his report on Russia’s inference in our 2016 presidential election, Democratic congressional leaders have done something remarkable. In a dramatic flip-flop from their embrace of secrecy during the Obama administration, they now say: “Release the full report.”
I never thought I would hear those words cross the lips of the same Democrats who took the polar opposite position when I and other Republicans in Congress made quite reasonable and legitimate requests for information during the term of Democratic President Obama.
Yet on Friday, when Mueller submitted his report to Attorney General William Barr, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., issued a joint statement calling on Barr to release “the full report to the public and its underlying documentation, and reporting to Congress.”
The Democratic leaders added: “The American people have a right to know the truth. The key word is transparency.”
In addition, six Democratic House Committee chairs released a letter Friday demanding the Mueller report be made public "without delay." Yet I remember these same six House members taking the opposing position during the Obama years.
When I served in the House representing a district in Utah, my fellow Republicans and I wanted to publicly release the source material behind the sham Accountability Review Board investigation that exonerated then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from responsibility for the failure to protect Americans in Benghazi, Libya.
Terrorists killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans at a U.S. diplomatic compound and a nearby CIA annex in Benghazi on Sept. 11 and 12, 2012. We in Congress had a responsibility to review what had happened in that horrible attack as part of our oversight role over federal agencies in the executive branch.

The Barrett Report fhttps://www.nationalreview.com/2005/11/cover-barrett-report-byron-york/rom the Clinton era is still in hiding.
Democrats are probably hoping that voters will forget dog-and-pony show transparency by election day 2020.
MAGA!
This is the best opportunity Republicans will have to take down the propaganda wing of the Democrat party. If found that the media gave gifts to Democrats in exchange for their lies, I would RICO every last one of them.
Amid all this hoopla remember that their objective was and is still the subversion of constitutional government here in the USA and a replacement with a Marxist style of dictatorship by the elite democrat insiders.
Bump!
Bingo! We have a winner.
That is exactly what the ComDems intended to do. And they will not quit trying. They best way to reverse this is charge, try, convict, sentence some of them to jail time. That would get their attention.
The Dems are screaming for a full release so if one page is blacked out they can scream “Cover-up?”
Buttcrack Hussein claimed to be all about transparency, too. His office was a weird hybrid of the Russian politburo and the muslim brotherhood.
Aren’t they still withholding documents UNDER SUBPOENA????
I believe so but those aren’t the Mueller report as I understand it, they’re part of the Nadler/Schiff phony investigation.
