WASHINGTON - The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a non-binding resolution on Thursday calling for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s upcoming report on his probe into Russia’s role in the 2016 election to be released to Congress and the public.
Mueller has been investigating since May 2017 whether Trump’s campaign conspired with Moscow and whether the president has unlawfully sought to obstruct the probe. Trump has denied collusion and obstruction. Russia has denied election interference. Mueller has not indicated when he will complete the report.
It was not clear whether the Senate, controlled by Trump’s fellow Republicans, will take up the measure. Bipartisan Senate legislation calling for the report to be made public has stalled. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office had no comment. Four members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, a group strongly allied with Trump, were the lawmakers who voted “present.” The four were Representatives Justin Amash, Matt Gaetz, Thomas Massie and Paul Gosar.U.S.
Some Democrats have voiced concerned that Barr could withhold evidence of possible misconduct by Trump, under Justice Department policies that oppose bringing criminal charges against a sitting president and discourage releasing explanations when a person has not been charged with a crime.
Just release the damn thing...geez
The taxpayers should be able to see what they paid for!
The USA CITIZENS PAID for this report so it is in their RIGHT TO SEE THE FINAL & FULL REPORT !
And Donny boys butt just puckered a little tighter.
Blimey, Elton John's put on a few pounds...
Vote 420-0! American people want the full report.
As it should be. This shadow government needs to remember it serves the people - and the people deserve to know.
Finally!!!!
Make the report public or face a revolution.
SWAMP! what about the civil rights of the investigated?

House calls for upcoming Mueller report to be made publicThe 420-0 House vote, with four conservative Republican lawmakers voting 'present,' put pressure on U.S. Attorney General William Barr, to whom Mueller will submit the report when it is done, to make it public, though it does not force him to do so. Mueller has been investigating since May Nice Democracy. However, there’s a saying that when everyone is thinking the same. No one is actually, thinking. This is Vanilla Thinking. Non binding? Useless motion!!

In overwhelmingly bipartisan vote, House calls for Mueller report to be made publicRepublicans joined Democrats to back a resolution calling on the Justice Dept. to release the special counsel’s full report to Congress and the public. It sends a message but cannot force the attorney general’s hand. Careful what you wish for Trump will release the Mueller report with his tax returns Your russia conspiracy theory is over. Your lame attempts to unseat a US President are over. But we are enjoying watching you implode.

House approves measure for Mueller report to be made publicThe move is an attempt to “send a clear signal both to the American people and the Department of Justice” that lawmakers expect to see the full account of Mueller’s work, according to the House Judiciary Committee’s chairman, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.). Important to note who DID NOT vote for this....ask yourself WHY? Good - now why don't you folks vote to force the DOJ and FBI to release all of the emails - unredacted - between AG Lynch's DOJ and Comey's FBI - and and internal emails involving the many Obama admin and Hillary scandals. At least all that were not illegally destroyed. Highly doubtful that senatemajldr will even bother to take House bill making Mueller report public 🇷🇺 💰
