  • Devastating: Liberal Law Professor Clinically Dismantles Democrats' Contempt Case Against Barr

    Left-leaning law professor Jonathan Turley -- who has stood out in recent years as a rare legal analyst unwilling to allow his political views to cloud his constitutional judgments -- has written an absolutely devastating column addressing House Democrats' efforts to hold Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt of Congress. Anti-Trump partisans have compiled a list of grievances against Barr, many of them specious , but House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler has chosen to focus the contempt charge on the Attorney General's unwillingness to release a tiny redacted fraction of the Mueller report . Turley says this is...

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Thursday that she agrees with a veteran Democratic lawmaker that the country has now entered a "constitutional crisis" — but said she still wants her party to be “methodical” in their investigations of President Donald Trump, rather than rush to launch the impeachment process. “Yes, I do agree with Chairman Nadler, because the administration has decided that they are not going to honor their oath of office,” Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press conference, referring to Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y. Asked how such a crisis is not changing her thinking or...
  • Nadler once called Holder contempt vote ‘shameful,’ now leads charge against Barr

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., led the charge Wednesday to hold Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt of Congress for not handing over documents related to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe -- declaring the move necessary as the country enters a "constitutional crisis." But Nadler took a very different stance on contempt back in 2012, when House Republicans took the same step against then-AG Eric Holder for refusing to hand over documents related to the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal, where DOJ officials tracked thousands of guns smuggled across the border but did nothing to stop them.

    White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Wednesday that House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) is asking Attorney General Bill Barr to "break the law" by asking for documents they have no legal authority to. Sanders said Nadler is acting absurd and should be "embarrassed" for his behavior.

    The Department of Justice reacted defiantly to Democrats’ vote on the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday to recommend that Attorney General William Barr be held in contempt of Congress for refusing to release the full and underrated report of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into “Russian collusion” during the 2016 election. The Department of Justice was defiant, releasing a statement after the contempt vote that insisted: “The Attorney General could not comply with the House Judiciary Committee’s subpoena without violating the law … “Chairman Nadler’s actions have prematurely terminated the accommodation process and forced the President to assert executive privilege...

"We've talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. We are now in it," Nadler told the press on Wednesday. Although he pushed back on impeachment as an option, he indicated that the United States was...

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department threatened on Tuesday to completely withhold Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s unredacted report from Congress if House Democrats decide to move ahead with plans to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt. The department said in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler any move by Democrats to hold Barr in contempt would compel Barr to “request that the President invoke executive privilege” over the unredacted materials in Mueller’s report that the Democrats previously subpoenaed.

    The White House invoked executive privilege Wednesday, claiming the right to block lawmakers from the full report from special counsel Robert Mueller on his Trump-Russia probe and escalating the battle between President Donald Trump and Congress. The administration’s decision was announced just as the House Judiciary Committee was gaveling in to consider holding Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress over failure to release the full report. Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York declared the action by Trump’s Justice Department was a clear new sign of the president’s “blanket defiance” of Congress’ constitutional rights. “Every day we learn...

    House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that his panel is still planning to vote to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt to Congress, suggesting that a meeting held earlier between committee staff and the Justice Department did not bear fruit. Nadler would not comment on the details of the negotiations with the Justice Department regarding the committee’s demands for special counsel Robert Mueller’s full report, but told reporters Tuesday evening the contempt vote was “still scheduled.” “The only thing I’m going to say is at the moment, it’s still scheduled,” Nadler told reporters when leaving Speaker Nancy...

    In the past week, it has become clear that Democrats have seen the writing on the wall that impeaching Trump would be a bad political move , and have since set their sights on Attorney General Barr, hoping for greener pastures. Nancy Pelosi has accused him of perjury , and many on the left, including congressional leaders, 2020 candidates , pundits , and celebrities , have called for Barr’s impeachment. Unfortunately for them, fewer voters believe Barr should be impeached. According to a new Rasmussen poll , “Voters think their threats against President Trump, Attorney General William Barr and U.S....

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler has scheduled a vote Wednesday to hold Attorney General William P. Barr in contempt of Congress after he refused to provide an unredacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report to Congress. Mr. Nadler and Mr. Barr have been sparring over what the Justice Department will provide to Congress beyond the redacted report that was publicly released last month. Mr. Barr missed a May 1 deadline for turning over the full report and all supporting evidence, and Mr. Nadler softened his demand to a less-redacted report and some of the supporting evidence Mr. Mueller...

    The president argued on Twitter that Mr. Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election — which found no conspiracy between Moscow and Mr. Trump’s campaign but did not exonerate the president on obstruction of justice — was conclusive and that Congress and the American people did not need to hear from Mr. Mueller. “Bob Mueller should not testify,” he said. “No redos for the Dems!”

    House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) on Friday gave Attorney General Bill Barr an ultimatum — comply with the “counter offer” or the committee will move forward with contempt of Congress. “The committee is prepared to make every realistic effort to reach an accommodation with the department,” Nadler wrote in a letter to Bill Barr on Friday. “But if the department persists in its baseless refusal to comply with a validly issued subpoena, the committee will move to contempt proceedings and seek further legal recourse.” Nadler gave the Justice Department a 9 AM Monday deadline to comply with the committee’s...

    A miasma of defeat, desperation, and fear wafts over Washington officialdom in the aftermath of the Senate and House Judiciary hearings this week, with an undercurrent of leaked revelations of 2016 FBI spy operations abroad. Attorney General William Barr’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Department of Justice’s investigation into Russian interference with the 2016 election, and his refusal to testify before House Judiciary Thursday, both revealed much about the new attorney general and the Democrats who sought to question him. At their heart, clownish performances aside, the hearings confirmed what we already knew: President Trump was legitimately...

    House Democrats backed off their blanket demand for the unredacted special counsel’s report and all supporting evidence, instead signaling a willingness Friday to cooperate on asking the courts to referee. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said he still objects to Attorney General William P. Barr’s demands, but said there may be a middle ground. He asked Mr. Barr to make available the “less-redacted” version of the special counsel’s report — right now open only to a dozen lawmakers...

    Let the contempt citations fly! True to his word, Attorney General William Barr was a no-show at the House Judiciary Committee this morning, and so was the fully-unredacted Mueller Report despite subpoenas for both. “Every member of this committee, Democrat and Republican alike,” chair Jerrold Nadler intoned, “should understand the consequences when the executive branch tells us that they will simply ignore a lawful subpoena from Congress.”The consequences might not be as consequential as Nadler argues, but for now he’s planning on moving forward on a contempt citation: House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler: "Late last night the Department...

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y, did something Wednesday that Americans have not seen since Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R-Wis., threw democracy aside, running roughshod over rules, fellow members of Congress and due process in the 1950s. Nadler ignored House rules, dismissed Republican motions and refused 40 attempts to permit committee debate, regular order and amendments so he could get the Democratic majority on the committee to impose the unreasonable requirement that Attorney General Barr be questioned by a Democratic and a Republican attorney when he was scheduled to testify Thursday morning.
