Louie Gohmert just went cuckoo over the "coup"

Says we're attacking the AG while he's "trying to clean up the mess."

Says it would be illegal for him to hand over the unredacted report.

Literally NO SIMILARITIES WHATSOEVER between the Republican and Democrat remarks.

Republicans are in full conspiracy mode.

Now Jim "Jacket Off" Jordan is defending Barr, saying Democrats are afraid that he'll "get to the bottom of this."

Of speaking the opposite of reality and think they can just keep doing it and that we are supposed to buy it. I get politics and political spin, but they don't even make sense here.

The national security portion of the report should have been immediately sent to the House intelligence committee in its unredacted form. It's actually a requirement of the Patriot Act according to a NY Times article from about a month ago.

I believe the SCO law, as drafted by Neal Katyal, also requires him to have shared the entire report as well.
