House Democrats exploded in anger Wednesday over Attorney General William Barrs plans to roll out special counsel Robert Muellers report, accusing the Justice Department of trying to spin the reports contents and protect President Donald Trump.
Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will hold a press conference at 9:30 a.m. Thursday morning to review the report, which may be heavily redacted. Reports that DOJ officials have already discussed Muellers findings with the White House only further inflamed tensions.
Im deeply troubled by reports that the WH is being briefed on the Mueller report AHEAD of its release, tweeted House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler. The New York Democrat added that DOJ informed him that Congress will not receive the report until around 11 a.m. or 12 p.m. Thursday. This is wrong, Nadler added.
A Senate aide confirmed that lawmakers don't expect to receive Mueller's report until 11 a.m. on Thursday after Barr and Rosenstein's press conference and a discussion about providing a less-redacted version to Congress won't begin until Friday. Muellers probe focused on Russia's attempt to interfere in the 2016 election and whether any associates of Trump aided the scheme.
Why is William Barr holding a press conference if not to (once again) try and frame the Special Counsels findings, tweeted Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), a member of the House Judiciary Committee. Just release the full report and let the American people judge for themselves!"

Why bother? Just hand the MSM its talking points, and they dutifully repeat them. Press Conferences are for badgering POTUS and his staff.
Nor does the whining.
It’s a conspiracy! Mueller and Rosenstein were in on it, too. How dare they draw conclusions inconsistent with our sacred narrative./s
Did he jump on a scale and get weighed as a bad egg, then fall down a chute?
Interesting.
The walls are closing in on the Dems now.

But the whole Russia collusion hoax & Mueller farce were fully endorsed by GOP elites (John McCain, Lindsey Graham......). Trump merely survived the soft coup attempt.
He is probably still grieving over the way Candace Owens put him in his place too. 👍
Thanks :)
Trust Sessions, trust the plan.... or something.
Will this arse wipe be in handcuffs and paraded across the podium.
If not, WTF is he still doing in the nojustice department?
Barr and Rosey get to frame the substance of the report for public consumption hours before the rats/media even see it.
Heh, heh.
“I keep telling people that they don’t need passports.”
Oh, I know. I was just kidding. One day there’ll be a few suspicious flights stacked up in DC, taking off for non-extradition parts unknown, as the rats flee. Passports won’t be an issue, and they’ll be meeting up with the filthy lucre they’ve stashed over the years. I hate those people.
Release to Congress should be at 8pm Friday. Pertinent portions should be attached to arrest warrants served at same time.
Yes, and now Capitol maintenance has to repair the spot where he stomped his feet.
Translation: If you corrupt the report with facts, it makes us harder to corrupt it with lies...let us do what we do best instead of all that truth stuff...
Or even better yet....a week ago.
Now that’s funny.
I’d pay to see that.
LOL
