Justice Department 'dismisses' Democratic Mueller report subpoena as 'premature and unnecessary'...
washingtonexaminer ^ | 4/19/2019 | Naomi Lim

"Congressman Nadler's subpoena is premature and unnecessary," Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement, referring the the top Democrat on the House Judiciary panel, Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. "The Department will continue to work with Congress to accommodate its legitimate requests consistent with the law and long-recognized executive branch interests."

Earlier Friday afternoon, congressional Democrats rejected Attorney General William Barr's invitation for viewing a fuller version of Mueller's conclusions on DOJ premises, saying that the terms were too restrictive.

House Judiciary ranking member Doug Collins, R-Ga., piled on, criticized the Democrats Friday for "grandstanding."

"This is ridiculous," Collins wrote in a pair of tweets. "AG Barr gives Democrats unprecedented accommodations, and they refuse them hours after Chairman Nadler subpoenas those same answers. They’ve had 30 hours with the #MuellerReport and realize the more information they actually get, the more bitter it tastes."

Trump and Co grabbed the narrative right out of the chute and now the DEMs are struggling to get it back.

Good luck with that. Hahaha!!!

Hey Mueller gang, Please return all payments made to the independent counsel office. Congress wants it’s 38 million back.

This is all a dog and pony show. barr screwed Trump and is leaving him out to dry. I know a lot of you believe barr will investigate the investigators, but it is never going to happen. I tried to convince everyone of sessions screwing Trump, but no one would listen. Now I am saying the same thing about barr, and again, no one will listen.

The only reason Nadler is doing this is harass President Trump and get his name out there.

I keep seeing what you say posted here. You need to back up what you say with some proof.

Not saying you are wrong or right, but please back up your assertions.

The report should never have been release unless there were charges associated with it. That is doj/fbi policy. But barr put it out there and the only thing Trump was left with was to agree or claim executive privilege. Ether way Trump gets screwed. barr is not, and will not, help Trump. There will be no investigation of the investigators. Anymore then sessions did any investigation.

Plenty of us knew sessions was a worthless hack.

Barr is not sessions.

This time in history sure could add up to one hell of a legacy for Barr and the DOJ.

At 68 what could be a finer feather in a very reputable mans career?

Nadler himself is “premature and unnecessary”. Name ONE piece of legislation from him which is not some childish nonsense to get Trump.

Nadler rocketed to the top of my most despised Dem list when he shrugged and rolled his eyes at Candace Owens last week. The best thing about it is that is the most viewed CSPAN vid ever and millions of Americans saw what an azz he is.
