William Barr rejects Democrats' demands for Mueller report
The Washington Times ^ | April 4, 2019 | Jeff Mordock, Stephen Dinan

Every page of the nearly 400-page Mueller report contains information that cannot be made public and must be redacted, Attorney General William Barr said Thursday, explaining why he has not met congressional Democrats’ deadline for turning it over to them.

Frustrated Democrats fired back, saying they suspect Mr. Barr of covering up for Mr. Trump, and renewing their demands for quick release of the report and for the Justice Department to provide all of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigative files to Capitol Hill.

In the meantime, Democrats said, Mr. Barr should immediately turn over summaries the Mueller team prepared, but which the attorney general did not release, instead writing his own four-page summary of the report’s conclusions.

“If there is significant daylight between his account and yours, the American people should know that too,” Rep. Jerrold Nadler, New York Democrat and House Judiciary Committee chairman, said in a letter to Mr. Barr.

Details about the summaries were first revealed in a curiously sourced piece late Wednesday in The New York Times.

The paper reported that “some” of Mr. Mueller’s investigations “have told associates” they were unhappy with Mr. Barr’s portrayal of their findings. The article attributes that finding to “government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations.” The Washington Post followed with its own similar report Thursday.

Mr. Nadler said he wanted answers.

President Trump, though, said the New York Times report was unworthy.

“The New York Times had no legitimate sources, which would be totally illegal, conceding the Mueller report. In fact, they probably had no sources at all! They are a Fake News paper who have already been forced to apologize for their incorrect and very bad reporting on me,” Mr. Trump wrote.

Beyond hearsay, and into whether the investigators are saying to others if they are “happy”. We’re through the looking glass, indeed.

1. Collusion is not a crime.
2. The report indicated there was “no evide3nce of collusion”.
3. ObsJus is willful diversion or withholding of evidence in an investigation of a crime.
4. If there is no crime, what was obstructed?

True May be a good thing but still violates the law.

Which is why Nadler is doing this. He knows Barr cannot release the full report - but manipulating the perception (aided by their handmaidens in the media) is of maximum benefit to the RATs.

You got your answers. Your party has shown many times it can't be trusted with sensitive information, ergo it must be shielded from you.

I’d like to see Jerrold Nadler’s head “made into a canoe” - with “significant daylight” streaming through the cleft - like this ...

The day WILL come, mark my words, when these political whores WILL be held “accountable” - and made to pay for their sins of subversion.

The words “terminate with extreme prejudice” come to mind.
