Opinion | House Democrats play hardball. Are the 2020 candidates watching?

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler , joined at right by the ranking Republican on the committee, Doug Collins , confer before a resolution was passed to subpoena special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's full report, on Capitol Hill in Washington on Wednesday.

Some of Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated, according to government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations.

If the investigators are right and if, in whatever we see of the report and from whatever testimony Mueller provides, there turns out to be a whole lot of evidence of wrongdoing, Barr should be forced to step down for acting like Trump’s PR man, not the attorney general of the United States. In such circumstances, Trump’s declaration of innocence will be one more lie seeking to obscure the facts.

Meanwhile, the House Oversight and Reform Committee is also going to Trump’s accounting firm with a subpoena for 10 years of financial records. No, there is no accountant-client privilege under New York or federal law akin to an attorney-client privilege, so the committee is very likely to get what it wants.

Serve the subpoenas already. The Mueller report needs to be in the hands of the House now.

MORE DOING, LESS TALKING about doing!

Time for the Democrats to move on already! If they choose to continue with this hardball nonsense, they will be creating their own demise, and it will be an easy win for Trump in 2020, especially with the crowded field of Dems who have turned out to be socialist candidates!

House Dims are obstructionists just like their cohorts in the Senate.

For Democrats, all paths to the White House run through the House of SharptonThe Rev.

House Democrats increasginly troubled by Barr's plan for Mueller reportHouse Democrats are on a collision course with AG Barr as it appears increasingly unlikely that Barr will comply with their demands to see Mueller's full, unredacted report. ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport Kenneth Starr’s report on Bill Clinton was released on a Wednesday. By that Friday - TWO DAYS LATER - the complete report was made public. But that was when America’s democracy still worked. IStandWithSchiff Of course it is illegal to release the Grand Jury testimony. So, what the House Democrats are asking for is IDIOTIC. And, NBC News knows that and is deliberately keeping that out of their tweet because they are demonstratively PRO-DEMOCRAT. Cut him and his dept off from everything
