Nadler delivers ultimatum to Barr before holding AG in contempt

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler is making what he calls a final “counter offer” to Attorney General William Barr’s refusal to grant immediate access to the underlying evidence in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

Democrats have said they’re trying to show that they’re engaging in good-faith negotiations with Barr before rushing to take punitive actions — like holding him in contempt or fighting Barr in court. As part of his new offer, Nadler is asking the Justice Department to allow more members of Congress to immediately view a less-redacted version of Mueller’s report. The chairman is also asking Barr to join Congress to seek a court order granting lawmakers access to grand-jury material that Barr has blocked from public view.

Idiot in chief Nadler 😂🤣😂

NADLER RESIGN you fraud!

oh this is ridiculous ! Nadler let the acrivists do your job because the poo is gonna hit the fan no matter how nice you try to be ! Read the Dictators comments !

Why is he asking Barr for underlying evidence...he should be asking Mueller.

How many more offers are there going to be? Enough already. NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW.

Will someone please get a campaign started to buy this guy a spine? Oh and a new T.I. watch?

Tinky Winky is still upset at the Pres. he lost the Mueller probe and wants a 'Redo', Awww. He just keeps eating and eating to get his frustration down? His lap band is stretched to the breaking? realDonaldTrump Poor Tele Tubie, he needs to go skipping down the halls of Congress

The old fat-boy has been in Congress for more than 27 years, including NY assemblyman for another 15 years, he's forgotten how to be an attorney. Wants staff attorney's to do his job for him, questioning AG Barr. Doesn't sound like there is any further need for him in Congress.

hoosierscholar7 Didn't he say on Friday that I'm giving him till Monday. Now he's is going to say I'm giving you till we vote on Wednesday. Come on already this mess has been drug out enough.

The Democrats should be declared to be in open rebellion and Trump should declare a national emergency. At that point, they are in serious legal trouble. Nadler should be arrested for treason and Trump must protect the country and government.

Any thoughts?!!?!!

If GoT taught us anything, it’s “power resides where the people believe it resides.” Threatening contempt and not doing it shows weakness

JUST DO IT!! How many chances are you giving him? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Stop the ultimatum DO SOMETHING You look weak and pathetic

This guy likes to negotiate with himself

I say to Jerry Nadler and go over to the Justice Department and read the report like AG Barr invited you to do so and you showboat and refuse to. AG Barr is trying to get to the truth and you are Obstructing that.

The un-redacted report is avail for his reading. He just can't leak it's information that's why he is pissed.

Give it up! You’re an embarrassment!

They have a 400+ page report from their messiah Mueller, now they want to re-investigate all of it and expose all materials because they don’t like the results. Next shoe to drop is smearing Mueller, just watch.

This is all political theater. Members with the proper clearance already have the ability to see the entirety of the documents. As of now, 2 Republicans have taken the time to read it and no Democrats. Guess their lazy

Nadler: don’t cross this line Barr: (crosses line) Nadler: ok, but you better not cross THIS line... Barr: crosses line while (rolling eyes) Nadler: one more time, don’t cross THIS LINE... Barr:....(jumps across line) Nadler: 🤷🏻‍♂️

The fat slob is not entitled to it and his son is the lawyer doing this lawsuit. Lying schmuck

Thank goodness after this fails maybe they will get back to do the job they were elected to do

The dems have access to the full unredacted report. What are they talking about? When is the Hillary and obama probe starting. The real criminals

Why are Democrats always timid? Republicans didn't hesitate to hold Eric Holder in contempt even after agreeing to produce the documents they requested.

NoNadsMustRecuse

Sir any court would notice your effort to hell with Barr get the taxes the mueller report in its entirety or arrest that Elton john impersonator

Final offer? Do something! Dems can't look weak any longer!

RepJerryNadler we do not have time for their obstruction.

Fat Jerry Nadler. Who paid for his gastric bypass surgery?

The clown show. Anybody paying them any attention?

Good luck with that

Barr has proven his bias to Trump & will break the Law if necessary to protect Trump & Corruption. Barr Lied his way into the position of AG at 69 only to become the AG to be the first to go to jail for Contempt. May 15th Mueller will be able to defend himself. 2020 Change.

And the circle jerk continues

JerryNadler you will never be satisfied. Please stop

Dumbass Nadler knows he can’t have full access to it, because of currently preceding investigations. He’s doing this for show.

Trumps henchman are banking on time and courts to protect trump from the ongoing investigation. Using propagative technics to stall the information or delude them with public misinformation till they can get enough of a base to not care and reelect him

Bwhahahahahahah!!!!!! ..... no

Final? How many “finals” have we seen? They will do nothing. They are all worthless.

Have done with it. No negations.

That contempt ruling better bite, or Nadler will look ridiculous.

Nadler thinks he’s been appointed god. This will end badly for him and his cronies.

Just wait until he delivers the next ultimatum, or the next, or the next. useless

Just get it over with

Either impeach him to show you’re serious or move on to something else,,

Go away Jerry Nadler. YOU LOST!! Get over it!!! No trophy 🏆 for you either.

I’m getting so tired of this.

Then what? He gonna eat chicken?

He lost his head due to TDS

One more then one more then one more. Nail his ass to the wall now.

And yet another letter. Is this part of a mandatory legal process? Just subpoena Flintstone Barr. If no response send in the House police and arrest that sucker. He’s no friend of Democracy.

Nadler's not as naive or wussy as some are frustrated enough to think. A final offer. Another? Yes. Enough already. But offer only good until 9 am Monday morning. Nice move!

Eating time. Just a complete waste. Barr kicking Congress’ Butts.

Next step.... What can you legally do next, because all these people get away with everything. Enough is enough.

Stop it and indict the bastard already.

Final Offer? Really?JOKE OF THE WEEK? I thought Jokes on Polish were funny but it’s ironic this asshole is a LIBERAL JEW from NY and this crazy joke is on him. Good luck Mr. Nadler! God bless you!

And another

Like he’s in control. 🤮

Don’t make me pull this car over.

I have to wonder how 'final' it is.

Go NADS!

Mr. Jerry Nadler is a joke 🤡

... Jerry Nadler, you gutless wonder. Pull the trigger and put someone in jail, anyone. You must be a Democrat. Too nice a guy. ...

Nadler needs to get something shoved up his fat ass, to wit: his counter offer. He is not in the Law Enforcement Branch. Trump could counter his counter offer.

Wonder about how they're going to logic their way through this if he does not comply? That he's at the top of the DOJ food chain and can't be held in contempt? The way a sitting President can't be indicted?

Enough already.

I'm a democrat but this has went on long enough. It's quite clear now nothing is going to happen. Focus on the issues now that got us back control of the house.

Follow the law you blowhard.
