He already stated that he has gone much further than required by law in releasing the report.

Trump would wave his pardon power and the fines would disappear.

Requires vote by House or Senate but not both. Well the House is the ones wanting to file contempt charges. I have a bad feeling that Barr will be hit with 20K a day fines until he bends.

“As I understand it, Barr made an unredacted copy available to a group of 12 (6 from each party). Graham and 2 other repubs are the only ones who have bothered to look.”

NOPE.

I don’t think that even the reigning house is that stupid.

If Barr had any sense he would this day indict the 12 pending indictments he has going and destroy the Democrats. He should not wait for any other reports. Otherwise the communists Democrats will destroy him along with the President.

“The unredacted Mueller Report is available to any Congressperson who wishes to see it …”

WRONG.

“AG. Barr has released the unredacted report in a scure room. “

WRONG.

If you have better information, share it. Otherwise you’re just wasting everyone’s time.

Exactly. They are protecting the Obama regime.

Why do they have to “weigh” fines? Can’t they just use the same amount they fined Holder for with-holding documents, was it?

Oh, wait.

It’s not about being stupid, it’s the fact that they are rabid, they go for the throat. Look at Kavanaugh and now Barr in how they slander, lie, try to humiliate them in front of th media and american people.

They want him questioned by lawyers for a reason- to try and trap him. They want it bad enough they will resort to fining him. I may be wrong, but the way they acted yesterday was unreal.

A contempt order against Barr, because he followed the law in redacting as necessary?

I hope they brong it, the order will be set aside by Federal Court as fast as you can say Needler Nadler.

Besides, look at what they did today with the fried chicken and ceramic chicken. Now that is really low and stupid.

Isn’t it illegal for him to “provide” an unredacted copy..and can’t they SEE the unredacted copy just by taking a short walk to the doj? Another way that the “news” slants things.

Do these people do any work?

They are either on vacation, on recess, or pulling childish stunts like this.
