The Department of Justice has released a redacted version of the special counsel Robert Mueller's report. Follow here for the latest.

House Democrats are planning to pursue their investigations on multiple fronts in the aftermath of the release of Robert Mueller's report, pushing to examine areas they believe were not fully explored by the special counsel, according to multiple Democrats involved in the matter.press for the entire Mueller report and the underlying evidenceThe committee has also– including former White House counsel Don McGahn – that could shed light on allegations of obstruction of justice.

Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, took aim at Attorney General William Barr over the report, saying Barr had done a “grave disservice” to the country by “misrepresenting” special counsel Robert Mueller's report and putting a “positive spin” on the findings. Schiff called the facts in the report “damning,” adding,"whether they could or should have resulted in the indictment of the President or the people around him, they are damning. And we should call for better from our elected officials. The standard cannot simply be that you can do anything you like as long as you can declare at the end of the day that, ‘I am not a crook.’ That is not the ethical standard that the American people expect in their President.

“The notes on their face reference the FBI, the Department of Justice and Comey; and the notes track the background materials prepared by the FBI for Comey's briefing to the Gang of 8 on March 9,” the footnote says. During Sessions’ meeting with Kislyak in September 2016, Sessions criticized Russian aggression in Ukraine and they discussed NATO. Sessions told investigators that Kislyak mentioned that the Kremlin was receptive to Trump’s public overtures. None of the attendees who spoke to special counsel Robert Mueller — Sessions and at least two of his Senate aides — told Mueller that Russian meddling came up during the meeting.

In early March 2017, after media reports revealed that Sessions had not disclosed two meetings he had with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak before the election, prompting questions about whether Sessions should recuse himself, Trump called McGahn and “urged him” to contact Sessions “to tell him not to recuse himself.”

“Russian intelligence officials had formed relationships with Page in 2008 and 2013 and Russian officials may have focused on Page in 2016 because of his affiliation with the Campaign. However, the investigation did not establish that Page coordinated with the Russian government in its efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election," the report says.

They're not gonna do sh*t... Besides ducking and sucking...

The Democrats are toothless barking dogs, full of rhetoric & bluster but unwilling to take Humpty Trumpty & his corrupt administration on with a view to impeachment or prosecutions

Mourning!

Maybe they should start to work instead of nagging Trump for the last two years. Did you ever heard any political program the last 24 months. Just nothing. And why Nancy Pelosi and Ilhan Omar are the most hated persons in the United States? Guess!

~ i am so sick of watching the menace rage on while our system protects him at every turn… the reign of terror.

They COULD do their job and legislate. However, that would assume they would put country ahead of partisan politics and everyone knows that isn’t true.

ozmannyc Stop lying .

Maybe actually govern?

Maybe they could try establishing a platform other than 'Not Trump' before 2020?

Maybe it's better to shut up. Accept that they have lost (again)

dance on the Trump death body, they can enforce their narrative or get away by this biased media for the next year. they go down and we go up

Why does she have Spock Hands? Grand -Ma Nancy should go sit down before she can't get up and Nobody will help her, hahahahahaha

Change subject and free the CNN toilets !

Forget could do next, should do next

It's over

Wipe the egg off of their face and apologize

Media colluding with Democrats against the president. Seems fitting.

What the democrats SHOULD do is apologize to the American people for lying about the president of this country for over two years. They should apologize for an attempted coup that never had 1 ounce of truth to it. The only russiacollusion was by the Dems Fakerussiacollusion

Start looking for new jobs. They lied and so did the media.

We need Pelosi out of office. It is clear she does not want to keep our country safe and she has gold in the House that she is AFRAID OF. Do your job for the American Citizen, Pelosi. I hate to see anyone’s legacy tarnished because of Fear and carelessness!

Yeah, that's right...Keep getting you advice from CNN. LOL

Try doing some fucking work

Start working for the people instead of again them? Probably not.

Now they apparently Become more sore losers. Very sad to see this.

Get the real report first cause this is redacted

American people wanted more benefits not rumors or never-ending talk . Time to work and provide people fix on the raising prices of gas and medical bills.

They should start updating their resumes because most of em will be gone in 2020. KAG

The report made everything clear....

they could all do something for the Country and resign!

maybe they could start doing their jobs instead of going against The President on every issue. Just a thought.

Go on vacation. Because these idiots would have better luck impeaching a glass of water with a 'D' on it.

Mop up your tears and move forward for Americans, or slit your throat for America. It’s that simple.

Get some rest

How about they (and CNN) shove it!

We need public hearings. This is a wound that won't heal until we have everyone under oath testifying before the nation so we can hear it all straight from the horse's mouth. There's been too much secrecy, corruption, & propaganda from the White House.

How about reporting these facts?

Drink

The Democrats that started this dossier could turn themselves in for life in prison.

Lie some more & have corporate media back up their lies to deceive middle & working class people would be a good guess

1. Talk to Mueller under oath. 2. Talk to Barr under oath. 3. Subpoena full unredacted report to the Judicial Committee. 4. Impeach

I heard the news, and I am so so sorry for your loss, thoughts and prayers

they could sit forever lmfao xd

Nothing. They want to run against Trump.

Get mueller on the hill now!

Do you really claim to be journalists, or won’t you just admit your entire network is propaganda?

Talk about actual policy? Nahhhh that'd be far too establishment.

Run and hide would be a good start....Lets start with the collusion BS, who started it? Why? Who is involved? Lies, spying, treason, corruption.....Mueller states Trump did not but investigation started based on what info?

Tax people to death.

Nothing beyond their usual tantrums.

They can spin, pout, and whine as usual. Lol

I'm guessing they'll continue to double down on collusion and dig themselves into a deeper hole.

Rosenstein defends AG Barr's handling of Mueller's Russia report as Democrats ramp up pressure: WSJ'He's being as forthcoming as he can,' Rosenstein says of Barr during an interview Thursday with The Wall Street Journal. Releasing the report that 'totally exonerates' him would probably be a better defense. Weasel Rod sees the world crashing around him and he's hoping the biggest blocks don't land on his head. Rod Rosenstein is easily fooled. Look no further than how Trump tricked him into writing a case to fire Comey based on Comey's handling of Hillary of all people. carlquintanilla

Democrats blast Barr over Mueller report press conference'The attorney general appears to be waging a media campaign on behalf of President Donald Trump.' Watch House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler's brief press conference ahead of Thursday's Mueller report release. Lol this is how lost the dems are As the oversight committee looking for collusion and corruption why not investigate Hillary Clinton? I’ll bet you’ll be more successful in finding foul play. But you’re only interested in finding foul play by Republicans, aren’t you? Don’t you democrats have any sense of decency? You try to destroy opponents by using the scandalizing technique. For example the besmirching of Judge Kavanaugh which was inexcusable. Now your using the same ploy on the AG. Your not fooling anybody.

It`s official, We Dems have lost our spines, we do not have the stomach for a fight. We are down imploring and pleading rather than taking steps to counter and checkmate every GOP move. Only a miracle can save us from here. weneedamiracle RepJerryNadler RepMaxineWaters RepCummings RepEliotEngel and especially RepAdamSchiff have dishonored our political institutions and our Constitution by conspiring with fakenews to attack our Republic.
