Nadler ain't happy

I’m deeply troubled by reports that the WH is being briefed on the Mueller report AHEAD of its release. Now, DOJ is informing us we will not receive the report until around 11/12 tomorrow afternoon — AFTER Barr’s press conference. This is wrong.

1. The threats about subpoenas. Where are they?
2. The threats about doing everything by the law...Where, what?
3. The lack of resistance to Barr and the crooks. Where is the outrage? Why are not doing something instead of just complaining?

You have to fight fire with fire, and I think it was Michael Nance who said that the republicans were coming with knives, and the Democrats were trying to fight them with Bibles...

That is what is wrong.

Enough talk, we need action, we need to fight this corruption, the longer they take the more difficult it becomes, too much calculations on the part of Democrats, we need solid, consistent action to change things around.

what the letter of the law says about releasing the people's report to the people.

That, in the midst of all the PR noise that will come from that pow-wow, is what drives Lizard's noise about the report. He and Barr hold that he's above the law.

Obstruction of justice before, during and after the two-year investigation.

As I imagine this to play out, it os the act of submitting the redacted report that will seal his fate in the commission of the crime - whatever it is called, I can think of many options. Once the submission is made, it could mean that a series of events could be triggered in removal from office of Barr and idiot.

trump and the gop are the paper tigers but the left keeps getting its ass kicked and has no clue why. then blames dem reps and lets the media puff up trump and his cloud of orange assholes, who are nothing more than a pack of dittoheads, into something formidable

Mueller’s spokesman Tweeted that mueller will not show up to the sham hearing. Know what that means folks? Mueller is ready to do battle.
Trump and Barr are digging themselves into a deep hole. When Mueller drops his truth hammer the shit is going to hit the fan.
I’m now encouraged.
