So Congressional Democrats are holding Barr in contempt for abiding by a law, Federal Rules Of Criminal Procedure 6(e), passed by Congress


Under the FRCP, AG Barr is forbidden to disclose grand jury information.


Absolute madness

Well, now they are officially on record in Obstructing Justice, re Barr's Investigation of SpyGate. And that is exactly how Trump should frame the political narrative. He can start in 2 hours.

It’s like their hatred has made them completely oblivious to any optics.

Nothing really. Empty headed LWNJ's are making empty threats. Barr can basically tell them to pound sand and there's nothing they can do about it.

Democrats do not have to worry about optics.

They have a complicit media on their side that will lie.

They are pandering to people like VOR, Doc, DC09, Strong Safety, etc. People with IQs below room temp don't care.

Besides, Democrats have already proven that breaking laws have no consequences, at least for them. So why not try and force someone from the other side to do so?

Why do Dems control 60% of the membership of that committee? They don't control 60% of the House.

It means it goes to the House floor for a full vote. If it's adopted by the full House (likely with a 38 vote majority), then the US Attorney or the DOJ has to decide whether or not they'll act on it. Highly unlikely.

The Dims next move would then to sue Barr and/or Trump in court. No judge in their right mind is going to side with the Dims to release classified information about intelligence sources and methods that the report certainly contains.

Nadler is such a joke it's almost funny. The dims keep using the word democracy when we are far from a democracy, we are a representative republic.

This is truly pathetic.

Been about 2+ years of this already. Why should today be any different?

Yeah. That’s almost as dumb as the people claiming Russian collusion.

Nothing, but another perverse headline for the propaganda arm of the DNC.
