Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi

AG Barr has thrown out his credibility & the DOJ’s independence with his single-minded effort to protect @realDonaldTrump above all else. The American people deserve the truth, not a sanitized version of the Mueller Report approved by the Trump Admin.

(((Rep. Nadler))) @RepJerryNadler

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. #ReleaseTheReport

Attorney General Barr wrote to me on April 1: "I do not believe it would be in the public’s interest for me to attempt to summarize the full report." I agree. So why is the AG holding a press conference tomorrow morning to go over the Mueller report? #ReleaseTheReport https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/sta...21485688655878

Well, that was nothing but spin, before the Mueller report has even been released, Barr. Thanks for nothing!

So, there's absolutely no doubt that Donny attempted to obstruct justice, but his underlings refused to carry out his orders. Impeachment is clearly called for here.

Obstruction of Justice does not require an underlining crime.....

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opini...ime/ar-BBVfmVf

""That conclusion is questionable for reasons beyond its haste. It’s black letter law that a defendant can satisfy the corrupt intent criterion for obstruction even if the defendant himself committed no underlying crime. For example, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit recently ruled that a defendant could be convicted of obstruction “[e]ven if [his] primary motivation was to extricate the sister of his childhood friend from a troubled situation.” A court in Utah held in 2013 that a defendant could be liable for obstruction where his only apparent motive was to protect a friend from a criminal charge. ""

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlo...=.b312f5184f78


Also point to ponder.....

The backers of Mr T have doubled down and gone all in.
The full unbiased truth if and ever to see the light of day would lead to their downfall. Orange jumpsuits even!

They have been stacking the courts with the last line of defense for the day when the truth does come out.

Mueller's report mentioned 14 criminal referrals, 12 of which were redacted and still under investigation by various US Attorneys.

The report says what it says, not what the AG says it says.
A difference with a definite distinction.

House Judiciary Dems @HouseJudiciary

READ @HouseJudiciary Chairman @RepJerryNadler on the Mueller Report: Even in its incomplete form, the Mueller report outlines disturbing evidence that President Trump engaged in obstruction of justice. Just imagine what remains hidden from our view.
