WASHINGTON - U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, after his panel voted on Wednesday to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for refusing to release an unredacted copy of the Mueller report, said the measure would go to the House floor “rapidly.” “This was a very grave and momentous step that we were forced to take today to move a contempt citation against the attorney general of the United States. We did not relish doing this. But we had no choice,” Nadler told reporters after the vote.

Nadler has over reached and has done a POOR job in leading this committee. He shows the world, the Democrats are ONLY interesting in filling the blank on an impeachment document.Trying to take down a President! People can't wait: IG report,Horowitz report and Barr's investigation

He's an ass. Barr couldn't legally unredact the Mueller report.

Amazing how quickly the government can work when they actually want to

The Lunatics just wont stop the Deranged Lunacy. The only Contempt is Dems for America itself. The borders are over run. They dont care. We need America's business done to help the people... we get this garbage. This Political Over the Top Jackass Nadler hates America.

Good to know they are capable of doing something “rapidly”. Because the election was in Nov and democrat led house has addressed exactly zero problems that might actually help Americans. They haven’t spent one minute toward solving border crisis.

JerryNadler can suck it.

Not working- Panic setting in - IG reports forthcoming on Past Administration’s election interference- Investigations & prosecutions will follow- will be interesting to see how the dominos fall & who rolls over on who

yawn

Nadler must be really boered from doing nothing...

I imagine nothing Nadler does could be described with the word 'rapidly'. Unless there was a sale on sausage gravy and gummy bear parmesan down the street. Then he'd be rapid, ro do gravy shots.

Tomorrow will work

What’s wrong with these democrats? They are setting up the moderate democrat who rose to victory in 2018 from red states. What are they gonna run on? These are the same districts that voted for Trump. My God Democrats have wasted 2 years.

Nadler would benefit by responding to Tweets, but doesn’t have the internal council to do so ... Chairman Nadler between us we can fix this and we US wins...please respond.

Like hot dogs down his chute

Mueller was the final word – not Nadler.

The Democrats are gonna die on this hill. Republicans will vote republican, Democrats will vote Democrat, it’s the middle of the road voters that they are trying to win. And we are sick of this. 2020notfastenough votethemallout independent

Another great piece of bi-parisan legislation addressing an issue the majority of Americans are concerned with....I wish!

Democrats looked weak today. Unhinged and desperate move

What a colossal waste of time.

Nadler is a joke!

Nadler blasts no-show Barr before empty seat at House Judiciary hearingIn a remarkable scene inside Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., Thursday, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler blasted Attorney General William Barr for failing to appear before the committee. Interesting Nadler is present, not his Staff Attorneys With each passing day, Democrats become a a bit more deranged. I for one both despise and pity them. They would be much happier if they could just find the Creator God. They'd find Perfect Peace.

House Judiciary Committee votes to hold Barr in contempt after Trump asserts executive privilegeBREAKING: House Judiciary Cmte. votes 24-16 along party lines to hold AG Barr in contempt in relation to the Mueller report; resolution will go to a vote in the full House. There just might be a santa clause. They should vote yes & make him resign, the American people is sick of AG Barr's cover ups & lies to protect Trump. The American people deserves to know the whole truth. Ater dems force AG Barr to resign, they should aim for impeaching trump on obstruction of Justice! Let me guess... the vote will go down party lines? I doubt we will see any GOP who has the guts to stand up for the rule of law and against Trump. Even after learning Trump is a tax evading fraudulent businessman.

Call it what it is! Not only is he NOT above the law but should be held to a HIGHER standard. This is public attack on our systems & our response should be STRONG & Clear. Barr chickened out.
