Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA) said on Sunday night that he refuses to read special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on his Russia probe.
During an interview, MSNBC host Kasie Hunt asked the GOP lawmaker if he had read the report yet.
“I have not,” Woodall replied while also insisting that he “trusted” Mueller.
“So why not read the report?” Hunt asked.
“I have a concern when you put the entire power of the United States Justice Department behind anything, you can achieve an agenda,” Woodall responded. “You can drive a message.”
The congressman claimed that “people are poring through the Mueller report, looking for something to talk about again tomorrow and next week and the month after that.”
“I didn’t read the Bill Clinton report either,” Woodall added later (he wasn’t in Congress during the Clinton impeachment proceedings).

“I have a concern when you put the entire power of the United States Justice Department behind anything, you can achieve an agenda,”
You mean Barr?
And besides, I’m a Republican. Ignorance is bliss.
Another "Ignorant and Proud of It’ confederate.
His statement makes no sense. An agenda is a list of items that are discussed toward a goal. The goal should be law enforcement at the DOJ. So the what he is saying is there never should be anything discussed at the DOJ?
Sounds about right…and, if asked about Barr setting up an agenda that would help Republicans I’m sure he’d be all for it, it’s only Democratic agendas that he worries about.
Likely democratic agendas as well, too much democracy isn’t a good thing for Republicans…
