Justice Department 'dismisses' Democratic Mueller report subpoena as 'premature and unnecessary'...
washingtonexaminer ^ | 4/19/2019 | Naomi Lim

"Congressman Nadler's subpoena is premature and unnecessary," Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement, referring the the top Democrat on the House Judiciary panel, Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. "The Department will continue to work with Congress to accommodate its legitimate requests consistent with the law and long-recognized executive branch interests."

Earlier Friday afternoon, congressional Democrats rejected Attorney General William Barr's invitation for viewing a fuller version of Mueller's conclusions on DOJ premises, saying that the terms were too restrictive.

House Judiciary ranking member Doug Collins, R-Ga., piled on, criticized the Democrats Friday for "grandstanding."

"This is ridiculous," Collins wrote in a pair of tweets. "AG Barr gives Democrats unprecedented accommodations, and they refuse them hours after Chairman Nadler subpoenas those same answers. They’ve had 30 hours with the #MuellerReport and realize the more information they actually get, the more bitter it tastes."

They are the ones guided by the Russians to cause dissent, its plain as the nose on your face.

Russia is a convenient distraction, a long-time adversary that still evokes instant suspicion in many Americans. Is that nation still a global competitor for power and influence? Certainly, but don't let that obscure the fact that our home-grown commies are fully capable of causing dissent without external guidance.

They still ‘believe’ people can’t see through their antics.

Russia will do what it does with or without either party..it always has. Evidence needs to be shown that the Dems assisted the Russians, and I doubt that will surface in the pile of crap they’ve laid in their filthy trail.

They’re enraged that Trump and his team didn’t fall for their shenanigans and fire Mueller. LOL. Not just the Rats unless one considers an NT to be a Rat, which is what they are in reality.

If they can be proved to have begun this ‘coup’ then they all should have to pay the entire fee back to the people.

Because 'the media' also wants to see Trump go down.....so they'll hit anyone in his administration that opposes what they want.....and we know quite well what that is.

Possibly.....but I do think Trump is quite aware who his friends are and who are temporary holders.

Are you serious? The report, sez you, should never have been put out because there were no charges? Can you possibly not understand this entire charade is political? If Barr fails to release what he lawfully could, the cries of coverup would be long and deafining. It has always been the coverup and not the alleged crime which has done the most damage.

They’ve been baiting Trump for a long time....it took him awhile to understand they hide their true intentions....I think Trump had hoped they’d want to do what was good for the country, and it took everyone awhile to realize how diabolical they were going to show themselves as. I often wondered if Trump doesn’t give them a rope to run with for a time on purpose.

That’s exactly what they just told him and no doubt said so when they responded among themselves.
