Barr's refusal to release full Mueller report sparks 'constitutional crisis', say Democrats
The Guardian ^ | 08-05-19 | Sabrina Siddiqui

House Democrats barreled ahead on Wednesday with a vote to hold US attorney general William Barr in contempt of Congress, citing his failure to hand over the full unredacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The Democratic-led House judiciary committee voted along party lines to hear contempt proceedings against Barr in a dramatic escalation of the conflict between Democrats on Capitol Hill and Donald Trump’s administration. Representative Jerrold Nadler, the panel’s chairman, said Barr’s refusal to comply with the requests of US lawmakers amounted to a “constitutional crisis”.

I think we need to come up with a new superlative form for the word hyperbole. The rhetoric has reached such absurd levels that I am astonished dhimmicrats can keep a straight face. They must have some kind of school for it.

It’s an outrage that ANY of Comrade Mueller’s work ever saw the light of day.

It meant nothing to Eric Holder because he had the Ministry of Propaganda at his back keeping it from being anything.
Along with the cooperation of Bush League Republicans.

Exactly, barr had no business doing that. People seem to forget that barr is a founding member of the deep state, a bushie and a jeb supporter. Add to that the republicans are more interested in helping the dems to ensure Trump will not be re-elected. This is exactly what they did in the midterms. If Trump has not carried the senate over the finish line himself, the dems would have taken the senate as well as the house. The republicans are an extension of the dem party, time for a new party.

I thought the remaining redactions are either required by law, or are simply the result of long-standing standard operating procedures accepted by everyone.

The entire report was and is available for the lazy pricks to read on their own time and no copies or photo’s of any kind are allowed. This is a lie (one of thousands)that these subversive democrats try to hammer away in order to give it some legitimacy . I truly loathe these anti-American bastards and Bitches .

Full unredacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report would be illegal and they know it it’s another set up so the could make charges for doing so.

Legally Barr is not required to release the report at all.

It would be a Constitutional crisis to release the parts that are protected by Constitutional precepts to the Dems because they spit on the Constitution.
