The Judiciary Committee chairman said the attorney general is “waging a media campaign on behalf of President Trump.”

By Colby Itkowitz and Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow Rachael Bade Rachael Bade Congressional reporter Email Bio Follow April 17 at 9:24 PM House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler accused Attorney General William P.

Nadler noted that Barr’s decision to characterize the report in public remarks runs counter to what Barr said after he released a four-page letter detailing the “principal conclusions” of Mueller’s 400-page report last month. Barr had defended that action by saying it wouldn’t be in the public’s interest for him to summarize the entire thing.

Indeed, even before those revelations came to light, House Democrats have mused publicly that Barr is trying to shield the president from negative headlines. Last week at the House Democratic retreat, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Barr was acting more like the attorney general of Trump then the attorney general of the United States.

Also Wednesday, Nadler and other House committee chairs — Adam B. Schiff of Intelligence, Elijah E. Cummings of Oversight, Maxine Waters of Financial Services, and Eliot L. Engel of Foreign Affairs — issued a joint statement calling on Barr to cancel his scheduled news conference.

What position did RepJerryNadler take in 1998?

The idiot hasn't even the report.

Mr. Nadler could ask Mr. Schiff to produce his proof of collusion but why bother. Politics as usual. Good for the party, good for the media, poor service to the people.

Well sure, go on Nadler try to discredit Barr. Just deal with the fact y'all praised Mueller for two years and he didn't come through with a report you wanted.

Then DO something about it.

The pathetic wailing of snowflakes intensifies.

Reality.. yes...he is correct... and some MEDIA continue to protect this asshole.

The idiot hasn't even seen it yet. He's just an old blowhard. And that's not what he said several years ago over another famous report

Shorter 'spinning is my job, not yours', how dare you tell people the truth'

Where’s the “with no evidence” caveat you guys throw up anytime a Trump official orders lunch?

What are ' Wing Men' for?

Nadler is a hypocritical child. Mueller and Rosenstein are directly involved in the legally required redactions. Breaking News: They don't care for Trump

We've already been through this. Big nothing Burger, remake, part 3

Mueller knew there was no collusion before the midterms & did nothing? How much did that impact the elections.

I’d say Barr is protecting the truth. Enough BS already

There’s a reputable source. Nadler...geesh

Evidence? If anyone has been mistreated by a corrupt USA JusticeSystem it’s POTUS realDonaldTrump that had his campaign spyed upon by a corrupt BarackObama administration! MAGA

Unworthy President and handpicked lackeys still gaming the Mueller Report. No doubt the Administration has much to hide. Att Gen Barr looking more and more complicit in obstruction of justice vs the American people. There is no reason for Congress to not have full Mueller Report.

Haha Maybe it was Mueller who protected Trump :)

Of course

Freakin nazi

Stupid!

This is a joke.The poli-tricksters and the media.

This guys just like my ex. Pick a lie a stick with it no matter how stupid you sound.

Democrats in 2016 after Election Day. Democrats in 2019 after the Mueller Report comes out

Indictments are coming! And it may surprise you nitwits as to who!!

What is up with that little troll? No no what the hell is up with the eye brow?

1984 = 2019. Lies are truth.

Poor little man is sad that he won’t have the chance to selectively leak and misrepresent before the mean AG talks.

Yeah But...😦 Don't realDonaldTrump Realize 🤔 This low budget, 2nd grade, simple simon cover up isn't even remotely believable!?! sillyseason BarrCoverUpNo2 ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport

Congress needs to get this to the courts. Subpoenas...for God's sake...please! 'We've sent [another] strongly-worded letter...' ain't gonna cut it!

Of course he does 🤣

nothing more than a FAKE US AG Barr protecting a FAKE Donald J. 'the Ultimate Criminal' Trump president realDonaldTrump

Seen that one coming! 😂😂😂TheDemocrats do they seriously buy the bullshit they’re selling?

Do your job. Quit twiddling. Subpoena Mueller.

He are getting a redacted (with Trump’s help) report. He went to the White House first! He’s not our AG, he’s Trump’s stooge and a disgrace to the country!

So madler did not get the result he wanted so now he will smear an honest man who believes n the law and America. Ag Barr. Shame on nadler

Nadler is a whimp!

RepJerryNadler dude looks sick!

Washington Post: 1,184 The New York Times: 1,156 CNN: 1,965 MSNBC: 4,202 These are the number of stories ran on the Mueller investigation since September On average, 13 stories per day All about an investigation with no evidence, no grounding in the truth, and no crime. 🤔

Also Wednesday, Nadler & other House committee chairs — Adam B. Schiff of Intelligence, Elijah E. Cummings of Oversight, Maxine Waters of Financial Services, and Eliot L. Engel of Foreign Affairs — issued a joint statement calling on Barr to cancel his scheduled news conference.+

What other attacks will the devil inspired leftist libs come up with against this president? The Russian collusion was proven false, the attacks on Kavanaugh were false, so called tapes from Omarosa were false. But the economy is doing good, ISIS is defeated, enemies respect us.

Jerry Nadler EnemyOfThePeople

Nadler is a partisan hack and liar!

Old Nads and The Dingleberries at it again.

Then do something about it. Just empty threats won’t work. Even I won’t take these statements seriously if you don’t take action

I guess at this point, he has no other options. Keep up the tribal chant Nadler. The End is Near! May God Have Mercy On Your Soul! BOOM!

But what does Nadler’s eyebrow think?

It's still 11:58 🕛 on the doomsday clock on PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE 🎙🇺🇸🌩

Delusional!!

Oh wow!

It hasn't even started yet.

the hypocrite lying deceiving NADLER

Jerry Nads needs to get over himself. Barr did his job and Mueller's report is a whole lot of nothing.

Barr to America 'You can't handle the truth'

And he is protecting Hillary and Obama of their spying wrongdoings

Protect him from what? The investigation is over. No collusion. No obstruction.

Except Rosenstein is right there helping make redactions so that excuse is a bust.

Starting the narrative before seeing the report I see..

Why does the media report this nonsense? How about some insightful analysis of his political rhetoric! MuellerReport

Unless RepJerryNadler has seen the report he is a liar.

Evil has many faces.Nadler is one of them. Do the Democrats are so evil to the brink of starting a Civil War over MAGA hats or over an inexperienced politician like President Trump, who achieved more than many presidents in two years even the whole world was against him.Hercules!

RepJerryNadler accused RealCandaceO too and was proven WRONG with no apology. nadler is just a liberal fool.

This is the only card the dems have to play! Their lie is over tomorrow and they know it. 🤣🤣🤣

Nadler is not a smart man.

AFTER THE SNEAKY AND UNDERHANDED WAY THAT THE DIRTY DEMONCRATS HAVE TREATED PRESIDENT TRUMP.....FEELS GREAT TO FINALLY HEAR SOMEONE WHO IS HONEST AND DOES WHAT IS RIGHT FOR AMERICA....THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA....STANDS FOR TERRORISTS ONLY! realDonaldTrump

Gotta fearmonger in order to keep their low information base riled up.

Trump disrespects & destroys everything he touches, so it’s actually fitting that corrupt Attorney General WilliamBarr chose Holy Thursday to release his sham version of the Mueller Report & LIE to Americans at a flim-flam press conference. When will “Christians” wake up?!!

He writes great letters

Keep crying libs we love it

Of course he does! The Democrats and media have thrown everything they have at realDonaldTrump Stupid defiant God hating, Jew Hating RepJerryNadler needs to check into a hotel and read a Gideon bible. Start with Gen 12:3. And the irony is that Nadler is a JEW. Go figure!

Barr finishing up redactions.

How did we miss the guy on the right side of this famous Trump rally photo?

“Protecting Trump” They’re having a cigarette!

Umm....if it quacks like a duck....

Somebody hand picked by Chump is loyal to him...earth shattering!

Republicans once accused Lynch of of leaking to Clinton (tarmac meeting). Barr , Mr. Iran Contra pardons, actually had talks about the Mueller summary with Trump

There’s nothing going to be found in the report that Barr didn’t already described. Anyone wishing for different is going to be sorely disappointed tomorrow. But go ahead and subpoena Mueller. He’ll make Democrats look dumber than they already do.

That's why trump picked him....now as a Co equal branch do something about it

notes obvious fact*

Democrats are panicking because indications are that the report isn't that damaging to Trump.

But will do nothing about it!

RepJerryNadler what’s up with your eyebrows?

“We didn’t get what we wanted in the Mueller report, so let’s try this approach!” So predictable.

America is watching and laughing at all you snowflakes. Game over

Keep it up Dems. You're lookin' good. Just ignore all those who are laughing their a**** off at you.

You Gota Love Sir Nadler's Naturally Suspicious EYEBROW !

Lololololololol

Who is actually believing this nonsense? How much longer are we going to put with this crap?

Does Bart get paid by Govt.,or is it just strictly paid by Trump

Desperation and panic

Dems are totally melting down as they realize they can't defeat the President America elected and they can't figure out how to govern. They have become so mentally deranged trying to fight Trump they just need to fly to an open field and allowed to roam free till they die, lol.

rachaelmbade He is protecting Trump and I thought he was working for the people of the USA! HE'S A JOKE!

Have you noticed that realDonaldTrump has been behaving like a mobster, e.g. attacking his enemies in mafia style n language? That's because VladimirPutin is really a thug, a very evil and brutal mobster boss. He's been known to poison his enemies to death. No coincident here!

Protecting realDonaldTrump from what or who? Nadler is SCHIZOPHRENIC. Please give him his meds🥵

Which is EXACTLY what he's doing! And is NOT HIS JOB!

Just get mueller to tell us what he wrote! Why all this pussyfooting?

Well, ok. What are you doing about it

Jerry was so upset, he almost tucked his shirt in by accident.

Fat RepJerryNadler is EMBARRASSMENT for his constituency and our country!

Donald promised Barr a night with Eric.

Desperate Democrats

Dimms are covering that Azzes after feeding the false narrative and being full of Schiff the last two years. What a bunch of whiny BullSchiff artists.

Nadler---one of the ringleaders in shoving the 'collusion' lie down America's throat for two years. Never forget that. Never forget that he spewed Russian disinformation for two years.

BOYCOTT BARR press conference people🇺🇸🇺🇸

Well there's no suprise! Please do something about it!

Glad to see someone still has some balls ( not what she said)

'Get Aeroflot on the horn!'

Like Holder protected O

Barr is going to spin the report - no question

We ALL are accusing Barr!! traitor RussiaGateCoverUp

Well, isn't this new? Oh, wait. They've been making accusations for 2 years without evidence.

*America Prepares to Row Through the Redactions* MuellerReport

No surprises there!

Because he is!🙄

SubpoenaTheFullReport
