House Democrats are throwing their effort behind a non-binding resolution to pressure the Department of Justice to release special counsel Robert Mueller’s report upon its completion.

According to a Thursday Politico report, Democrats are trying to use the largely symbolic measure to force Republicans to make a public stand on the report’s release.

House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) have also threatened to subpoena Attorney General William Barr or to bring Mueller before their committees, should Barr try to withhold the findings.

  1. If nothing else, it will point out which Repugs are in Putin’s pocket. Meadows, King and Jordan will obviously vote against it. This might help turn some more seats in 2020. Keep up the pressure, never let off should be the Democrats’ mantra.

    Good, let’s get the Reactionaries who endorse the overthrow of our Republic to put their own names on a list. They go to the front of the line for the guillotine.

  3. And after madam guillotine’s sharp blade lops off their heads, can their beastly noggins be displayed on pikes?

  4. Definitely a great way to keep the presssure on, but one way or another, I would bet that even if Barr attempts to withhold, or redact the the holy hell out of the report, a “clean” copy will somehow be leaked to the American public.

    Too important to allow the colluders to conceal it.
