‘Keep your mouth shut’: Dems erupt over Barr’s Mueller report rollout
Politico/MSN ^ | 4-17-2019 | 4-17-2019

House Democrats exploded in anger Wednesday over Attorney General William Barr’s plans to roll out special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, accusing the Justice Department of trying to spin the report’s 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 Mueller’s findings with the White House only further inflamed tensions.

“I’m 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. Mueller‘s 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 Counsel’s 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.

It’s a conspiracy! Mueller and Rosenstein were in on it, too. How dare they draw conclusions inconsistent with our sacred narrative./s

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.

Yes, he’s still grieving the loss of the MEEK Jeff Sessions.

He is probably still grieving over the way Candace Owens put him in his place too. 👍

”Yes, he’s still grieving the loss of the MEEK Jeff Sessions.”

“Trust Sessions, trust the plan”.... or something.

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.

The Naggler is deeply troubled. What a childish fellow. Was he stomping and holding hands over his ears as he said it? I didn’t see it.

Yes, and now Capitol maintenance has to repair the spot where he stomped his feet.

DemocRATs pine for the days when they had an Attorney General they could rely on.

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...

The only thing better would be for the arrests to begin during the release.

Or even better yet....a week ago.
