Attorney General William Barr was a no-show as the House Judiciary Committee met Thursday morning after the Justice Department said would he would decline to testify before the panel amid disagreements over the hearing's format.
"When push comes to shove, the administration cannot dictate the terms of our hearing and our hearing room," Nadler told reporters Wednesday. He added that his committee is seeking the full unredacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and that compliance with the committee's request is"not optional."
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler says if Attorney General William Barr doesn't provide the unredacted Mueller report to Congress in the next day or two,"the next step is seeking a contempt citation against the attorney general" https://t.co/tgHs1uTdye pic.twitter.com/hKRKzcBzpk The acrimony over Barr's appearance between Republicans and Democrats was on display in the committee's Wednesday meeting to approve the adjusted format for the hearing.Democrats said Wednesday that the newly-released letter special counsel Robert Mueller sent Barr in March calling for the release of his own investigative summaries highlighted the importance of allowing committee lawyers to question the Barr more extensively.

There’s that pesky word, honorable”
Does it say traitor or pu$$y
I love reading the comments from idiots. If you were knowledgeable, you would know Mueller sent a memo to Barr that validated Barr. I see why Limbaugh calls you 'low information voters'.
I believe they got that place card wrong. It should be the dishonorable william barr. Someone should have reminded him of the old saying 'if you sleep with dogs, you get fleas'.
The left loses again. It's like Lucy and Charlie Brown coming to life.
Note: Place cards are always set on the desk in front of the chair where people coming into hearings will sit. You're insinuating something else? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.
Awesome, it’s time for Republicans to play offense.
Hold him and the DOJ in contempt the Democrats need to stop pussy footing around and letting POTUS do what ever the hell he wants. There are checks and balances for a reason and not impeaching re-enforces he is above the law. ImpeachBarrAndtRump
The Democrats didn't want Barr to show up. They tanked to hearing to do their dog and pony show. It was all planned. You can't buy a bucket of chicken at 9am from KFC.
Love it.
Someone should cross out Honorable.
Honorable? Hardly.
RepJerryNadler Rosenstein will be a private citizen effective 5/11/19. They won’t have to work with the DOJ to arrive at a date to call him. If the AG refuses to testify, the eyewitness and apparent co-signer to these events should be questioned ASAP.
The Mueller witch hunt is over folks. Get over it dem.
HouseJudiciary oh man whats he gonna do now?
He said yesterday that he wasn’t..
They misspelled 'disgraceful' though.

Thank you AG Barr for finally taking a stand. The Democratic party is destroying itself, in the name of politics. Media, (99% biased & dishonest) has pushed a anti-Trump agenda since 2016 and it has slowly 'Failed' and only destroyed their credibility. Grow up, get over it.
Baby Trumper do do do do do Baby Trumper
After Barr's performance yesterday, how could one tell the difference between whether he was sitting in the chair or not?
Fox&Friends said Barr will be played by John Goodman on SNL this Saturday. Let's make this a reality please! nbcsnl
Empty chair Empty moral character.
Does he have to go?
And Mitch and the political party that is no longer a political party, laughs and laughs and laughs....
Why isn't anyone blaming mueller for leaving it up to Barr
He's a criminal, like Trump
Lol.
He is the “United States” Attorney General, is he not? Nice that he can just opt out based on political loyalty to the guy in the White House.
Barr is not honorable. He is a lying cowardly mob consigliere.
Bob Muelleur was the one in charge and who spent over 2 years and 30 million tax payers dollars investigating Trump, wasn't William Barr.
Very stupid commentary by ABC!! But not surprising more fake news you can’t use.
He can have fun with being held in contempt.
Democrats reap what they sow. Now they are playing the Victim card. They set this hearing up in a way they KNEW he would not appear. Always setting up, playing to the cameras. Grandstanding!! How about getting to work for the people, start legislating!! They can't do both!! LOL!
In the same breath, why waste time listening to lies coming out of AG mouth. Time for contempt!
Honorable my ass
Lock.Him.Up
'We haven't waived executive privilege,' Barr says. 'WE' - how is this not a clear admission as to who his client is? It's NOT the USA, it's TRUMP. Now that his OrangeLips are out in the open, LowBarr is ashamed to appear in the House. Sad. BarrMustResign BarrHearing
yeah, we'll see if you still think that's an empty chair when grand jury indictments are handed down
That's where they should have put that bucket of FRIED chicken. They about to cook his ass!
