Adam Schiff Says Time's Up On Trump Delaying Mueller's Testimony

From the article:

(Schiff speaking)

I don’t think they can put Mueller off much longer…Because I think they realize the public pressure is going to be too great. And that’s why I think Barr has conceded I’m not going to oppose Mueller testifying before Congress. What he has wanted to do is part of the same pattern which is even though Mueller had a summary of his own, even though Mueller wanted me to release his own summaries, I released my summary to set the false narrative. That wasn’t enough though. When the Mueller report was going to come out and I knew it was going to come out and it was bad for the president, I decided I was going to give my own preview that morning.

We know that the only reason for the 30 day delay between Mueller releasing his Report and Barr's release of the significantly redacted Report was to allow time for the Trump Administration to frame the narrative in a way that was favorable to Trump. And Barr's refusal to testify before the House is a piece of that obstruction.

New Micheal Cohen as his personal fixer for him, and to use as his weapon. He and Barr now think they can pick and choose which laws they don't have to abide by. trump and him now think they are above the law, and can do as they please distorting the rule of law to protect themselves with it, and then to use as their weapon to go after anyone who tries to hold them accountable in any way. trump and barr are both corrupt , and criminals , and with no consequences . Another enemy they fear is the truth, and because it undermines all their propaganda they use , and when the truth is known it exposes all their lies.

Trump's entire business and personal history is that of a person who ignores laws and regulations.

And his Presidency exemplifies this.

Unfortunately, the GOP is eagerly complicit in this because they are using Trump to advance their own agenda.
