By Philip Allen Lacovara and Laurence H. Tribe Laurence H. Tribe Bio Follow April 8 at 6:37 PM Philip Allen Lacovara was a counsel to the Watergate special prosecutor. Laurence H. Tribe is a constitutional law professor at Harvard Law School.
In a 2-to-1 decision in McKeever v. Barr, the court reaffirmed the principle of grand jury secrecy and concluded that a court has no “inherent power” to release grand jury information. This decision will give Barr a plausible basis to resist the Judiciary Committee’s subpoena of the entire Mueller report, even if the committee goes to court to enforce it.
In the face of Barr’s decision not to disclose any of the Mueller report to the public or even to the House Judiciary Committee chaired by Rep. Jerrold Nadler until Barr and his team have scrubbed the report of grand jury information , Nadler and committee Democrats have authorized a subpoena for the full report, setting the stage for a court fight over the committee’s right to see grand jury information.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler. One of the exceptions to grand jury secrecy is disclosure “preliminary to or in connection with a judicial proceeding.” To authorize disclosure of the Watergate grand jury information, the special prosecutor’s office argued that the House had authorized its Judiciary Committee to conduct a formal impeachment inquiry and that such an inquiry could be fairly analogized to a “grand jury” investigation and thus a judicial proceeding.

DO IT RepJerryNadler HouseJudiciary
Now they say spying occurred on Trump Orgsnization,either impeach him or forget it.This country has suffered enough BS and we need this country to be strong and running smoothly
AndreaChalupa RepJerryNadler DO IT. Start the process.
AndreaChalupa Even if impeachment fails, worth it to get entire Mueller report revealed!
AndreaChalupa Why aren’t they doing this?
CheriJacobus There's no point. It will be DOA in the Senate. Dems need to focus on taking control of the Senate in 2020 in case the unthinkable happens & Trump is re-elected and then nail him!
InSpiteOfTrump OccupyDC get them to ImpeachTheMF
AndreaChalupa We cannot wait. It should’ve been done yesterday GasLitNation
_silversmith Open!
But will the HouseDemocrats have the balls to get this done. This seems to be their season of cowardice and weakness. SpeakerPelosi RepJerryNadler RepAdamSchiff They expect to keep the House majority by acting like wimps in the face of Trump Maddow
AndreaChalupa I've been yelling this for weeks! Who knew all I needed was to be a Post writer.
I hope WikiLeaks releases the Mueller Report. I mean Donald Trump loves WikiLeaks, so it's just the right thing to do!
AndreaChalupa ImpeachTrumpPence
Once again this guy resembles an SS Officer
Ummmmmmm Barr said no!
emt822011 Yes!
That's a chicken and egg scenario. They can't start impeachment hearings until they see what's in the Mueller report and its supporting documents with grand jury info. ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport RepJerryNadler RepAdamSchiff SpeakerPelosi
Stop the BS line. You sound like a biggest cry baby I ever saw.
Open, impeachment, hearings'.....don't wait!!
morgfair Paging SpeakerPelosi
The report is not the same as when giving to barr . it has been altard.
Then do it - impeach the lying no45 now - the country would be better in the end
morgfair It’s time SpeakerPelosi. HouseDemocrats SenateDems
I believe it’s ALREADY scheduled to be released 4/15? Another “source?”
Whaever pinkos
Has everyone here told congress to congress to ImpeachTrumpNow? If not, we all need to do so at
AidanRGallagher It said no, accept it
WaPo has become an arm of the Democratic Party
It’s good these people have all this time and our money to play Russiagate and not use these resources to serve their constituents.
ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport and do it as soon as possible !
Save this news article for the screenplay. Note: While the government is covering-up the corruption of the President. The Citizens decide to force the entire investigation report to be released by creating a frightening plan that causes the corrupt government to collapse.
If that must be done, it must be done. Don the Con has got to realize, as a political figure, you MUST be transparent!
Need2Impeach I think it’s time for impeachment
there should be consequences all the way around. If u do open it and find nothing. U should pay restitution and lose ur position. R U willing?
That's hilarious and an enormous backfire. Will the impeachment trial cover the fake FISA warrants?
At this point, there may be no reason NOT to impeach. It won't change anyone's mind re the 2020 election, and Republicans will continue to damage the country by supporting Trump's unlawful behavior. There is nothing to lose.
“Could”. 🙄
Dems don’t have the guts to do it!! gutless
You’re obsessed
Then open them
just do it🇺🇸🇺🇸
Unbelievable!!!!!! Impeach to see what’s in it?
Just do it
, you all seem to pander to some unintelligent people. Why? You’ll need to break your headlines down a bit better. These people think that the Mueller Report release is going to help them.
Impeach what? About 80-90% of the Left should be investigated. The shit that would come out!!!
Lets get on with it then.
then just do it!!!!!
lol stop wasting my freaking money!
Do it jerks and kiss your jobs goodbye
CNN MSNBC nytimes WSJ foxnews tribelaw There is no such thing as “preliminary” impeachment hearings. The press should not let tribelaw get away with that decoy term. If commenced, they would be “impeachment hearings.”
Yes! Please bring on impeachment. Let the whole planet see how Obama abused NSA 702 bulk collection to spy on his political enemies!
Need2Impeach Do it
It’s time. Seriously. Our democracy is suffering & might not survive until 2020. SpeakerPelosi HighCrimesAndMisdemeanors ImpeachTrump ImpeachmentNow Impeach45
Until some Republicans break ranks, impeachment is but a fools errand. They better know what's in that report before they go down that road.
Karma will be coming your way.
Umm... what’s the hold up?
NOPE I do not want him impeached. If he is, then it opens the door for a pardons by Pence. This ass-wipe should face the full extent of the law. He has been getting away with this crap for far to long.
Man your Trump deraigment syndrome is way beyond syupid
Democrats have severe 🤯🤯TrumpDerangementSyndrome itsacircus
Oh bull crap! Tell som more lies jerry! Every body listens to u!!lol lol ha ha lol! U think! Most cant stand the sight of you! Ull figure it out!!
DO IT!
lol😂. I suppose 'the walls are closing in' Right?. Get over it.
Well, NO. The house has to have evidence that an impeachable crime has been committed. Courts have no role in impeachment & congress has no subpoena authority. So the report stays in the executive branch.
DO IT!
Well there you go, proceed.
In due time, in due time
So open up impeachment proceedings. I bet what's in the Mueller report will move even Republicans to throw that bum out!
Please describe how this could lead to a net positive for the country, or even just the Democrats.
There you have it, you know you don’t need an investigation report to know there is plenty to bring Impeachment
Republicans ran with Obama's birth certificate as dog with squeaky squirrel. Now democrats do the same with Russian collusion. Enough already.
Impeachment based on what? Your feeble say so? WaPo is losing its marbles faster and faster
Ever since the election democrats have done nothing but crap from their mouths in an attempt to try and keep trump from winning the next one . That’s all any of the 3 year old antics are . Trumps not going anywhere , to get rid of him they’d have to say Obama was honest !
OMG so bored with this...
donmarvin Oh it's time!!! Trump is trying to consolidate his power with yes men sycophants!!!!
Do it. Do it now.
JeffersonObama I said this weeks ago!
Need2Impeach Yes. Do it before anymore crimes against humanity occur
We need to do whatever it takes to get to the truth. This crooked president cannot go unchecked.
It’s not the smart move. Subpoena the Mueller Report and beat realDonaldTrump in 2020 🇺🇸
Impeach trump and pence gets president
But if the Dems don't do this right, Trump will be re elected.
GulliAz Impeachment is too good for Trump. He fancies himself a populist, the people’s POTUS. Not getting re-elected would devastate him. The people need to be the ones to end his toxic presidency. Trump will then be seen as a loser by the entire world. That’s what Trump deserves.
Let’s go!!!!!!!!!
TRY to Impeach realDonaldTrump and 1776 will look like Tupperware party 63Million 2ndAmendment loving TrumpSupporters Will show and the left what a REAL Revolution looks like I think we`ll turn building into a Barracks for the Volunteers
By God, so let it be!..Impeach! Let the chips fall where they may!
Yes please please do it !
The full Mueller report will have no shocking revelations. No impeachment for you, Leftists!
No one gave Bush such a hard time when he wanted a wall? In fact it was in the budget. Why do you think part of a wall is their now. What it really is, is that those few will not get the kickback from this bill of a wall. why they are pissed. TRUMP does not put money in pockets
Impeachment hearings for what lmaooo
Better to start 25th Amendment-DJT is off the rails.
Do both...open it and then impeach him...
How can we believe ANYTHING anyone says about Muller. The liberals will hang onto ANYTHING to see TRUMP impeached. MULLER LIED. so did so many others. I dont see chaos about your fav man Joe making women feel uncomfortable oh but that's okay? None are taking that out of text.
Let’s do it!
Need2Impeach Do it.
Impeach him anyway.
Do it! That will play nice on the elections! People are sick and tired of the “Russia collusion” and only the unhinged dems and the crooked journalists wants to keep digging! Stupid people!
RepJerryNadler AdamSchiff WSJ TeamPelosi NicolleDWallace maddow JoeNBC Time for Impeachment Hearing. We have a President whose White House is chaos. We have President who is running amuck firings running ramped demeans people has no respect for the law or the constitution
There is no good reason to wait. ImpeachNow
mikegotter justdoit already
SpeakerPelosi: Today we learned that Trump asked federal border officials to ignore judicial orders. We learned from senior administration officials that Trump 'just wants to separate families.' It's time to allow HouseJudiciary to open a preliminary impeachment inquiry.
I’m pretty sure than 'we should get rid of Judges' is against the law!!!
In 2020 Democrats will lose so big it’s not even funny. Democrats will help Trump by Destroying each other. And with the help of the new kid on the block Socialist Democrat Cortez will accomplish what Democrats wanted in the first place to self destroy themselves literally!
Just one more terrible idea.
It can’t be released until redacted. That law was passed after the lewinsky affair.
Need2Impeach Trump is counting on the fact that Dems won't begin impeachment hearings this close to the next election. However, it is time. Let the chips fall where they may! We the people are tired of this corrupt administration! ImpeachTrump 25thAmendmentNow TheResistance
I'm sorry, impeachment on what grounds?
DO. IT!!!!!!!
I want to see the Mueller report I helped pay for!!!!!
Let's start impeachment proceedings with no factual basis for impeachment in the hope that we find something that might possibly justify impeachment. Brilliant. WaPo is functioning like a moronic legal dept for the DNC with crap stories like this.
JustDoIt
RepJerryNadler Please get Mueller's rept by any means necessary.
For what? Where is the crime? More wishful thinking for a bunch of liberals who still are having their feelings hurt!
Cmon. Just release the report. Enough of the games.
Opine on something else
Important
Also, wouldn't opening up impeachment hearings mean he can't pardon anyone
Just when I thought the Democrats couldn't look any dumber than they are
Yes, lets do that
Too soon. Pelosi is saving it to happen closer to election
Do it ImpeachTrump
EllenDatlow
But if there's one thing we know, William Barr will end up as a disgraced character who put clown before country in the history books our grandchildren will read.
Do it!
DO IT. DO IT. DO IT. DO IT. NOW
Oh good, hurry and do it! He’s been president too long already.
What would the impeachment be for? Beating the horrible corrupt candidate the left put up? Give it up! The left is corrupt and useless to America!
Do it.
With Nadler balking at Mueller testifying and Republicans calling for his open testimony it appears there must be very damaging information the Dems wish suppressed. An indicator will be Barr's testimony on Tues. Leaks on Gen Flynn already indicate potential Dem exposure
IMPEACH TRUMP & HIS.ADMINISTRATION!
I’ll like it, pervert justice to break another law, that is maniacal (or lawyer) thinking! WP seems to be a lost cause, once iconic outlet, Sad!
Yes. It could. And it should.
and in other news...... Nunes: Prepared to send 8 criminal referrals to Barr
I think if the complete Mueller papers are released without redactions Trump might see how close he was to federal charges if not closer to impeachment. Barr of course appointment from Trump really helped him out.
But they won't. As they keep telling us they 'need to educate the American people first'. Well I haven't gotten a invite to their seminar yet so they will let this maniac run wild and watch.
NADLER IS A LOW LIFE WHO SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH TREASON! MSNBC CNN FoxNews WSJ CBSNews NBCNews ABC nytimes POTUS realDonaldTrump SenWarren NancyPelosi SenSchumer TheDemocrats
On what grounds? They don’t like his tweets? He’s mean?
ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport
Watch hypocrite RepJerryNadler call for need to protect Grand Jury material protected by law under Federal Rule 6E in 1998 Starr Report but today demand release fr the Mueller Report in violation of 6E. Watch fr :52
Please just do your job and leave Trump alone. Shouldn’t you have things that are more important to do ? TDS!
😘
Liberal opinion
Do it, we already have ample evidence of cause before the report plus today we learned ppl fired for not following 45 unlawful orders. Isn’t part of oath to uphold the law?
Do it !!
HouseDemocrats
You guys just can’t get over the fact that there was NO COLLUSION. It’s time for you to give up on this false narrative. And realDonaldTrump is still your President. MAGA2020
...operative word 'COULD' Not good enough
Dems are desperate for some Campaign material. Now its impeach so we can dig further. Mueller found no crime, but we need some smear material.
This is just silly
DoIt
The Russia collusion hoax is over, the Democrats are obviously desperate and Petty maga
Hell yeah keep that grift goin' wapo.
It’s going to be released. Period.
