“The witness is not going to tell the committee how to conduct its hearing, period,” Jerry Nadler said.

The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is warning Attorney General William Barr not to try to dictate the terms of his testimony on the Russia investigation this week.

“The witness is not going to tell the committee how to conduct its hearing, period,” the chairman, Rep. Jerry Nadler , told CNN on Sunday.Barr is scheduled to testify to the Judiciary Committee on Thursday about special counsel Robert Mueller’s 448-page report on the investigation, a redacted version of which was released earlier this month. He is also expected to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

Nadler wants to allow each committee member a five-minute round of questioning. A key point of contention has arisen over Nadler’s wanting to allow for another round of questioning of 30 minutes for each party’s committee counsels. The chairman also proposed that the panel go into closed session to discuss the redacted sections of the report.

HouseJudiciary Rep. Maxine Waters had to do the same thing with Mnuchin. He just couldn't believe that a black woman had that kind of authority over him. Good on you both

Lol we’ll see

and what are you going to do if he does say no?

growapair👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

HouseJudiciary Congress is the part of the U.S. Government Atty.Gen. Barr must Bow Down to also.

HouseJudiciary The comments to the post are unbelievable. Bots, or is the trump fan club really this _______ (fill in the blank)?

The GOP and Trump are lawless. They don't believe in the rule of law or even American democracy. Throw these anti-American bums in jail now.

HouseJudiciary I wish they would start dropping subpoenas already. I get why they are playing it slow but just get on with it

We need term limits!!!

That's where your wrong Nadler. Trump and his Fixers are making all of you look like fools by not holding them all accountable. And there is only one way that can happen. It's not a normal situation. So a not normal fix is needed. FIRE Trump so we can fix things and heal.

I think this witness might! He won’t be bullied and I’m glad!

Well, everyone does that. Comey negotiated on the HOW.

SPAWN

The witness is the Attorney General and he will tell you how to run your hearing, he know more Nadler will ever know and Barr at least we can trust.

Watch and see.

I love when they piss Barr off. I also love that they continue to attack Brett K. Its not like these guys can make decisions that will affect them for YEARS. Keep it up Dems!!!!!

Someone should

cyber_wench 2 bots to start the thread. ... Sigh. ... Russia is busy. And they have senatemajldr emails. I’d bet. Just like the DNC’s. He’s running scared like all Republican leadership. Meanwhile the people they are supposed to lead are being misled.

RepJerryNadler and the rest of the DC criminals won't tell us how to run our country!

Judiciary committee must follow through with arrests if they don’t comply ! Repubicans are mocking Democrats. House has inherent power to subpoena and arrest if they don’t comply! We will see how quickly Trump’s Staff will provide docs needed!

Barr is going to leave Nadler and his lefty loons in a drooling coma. They aren't smart enough to find their way out of a closet to begin with
