Just because they are confirmed MEANS NOTHING about what they will do.

Sessions was confirmed and lied multiple times and no repercussions.

Barr could squash this entire Mueller report and we might not find out much and he would continue to be the Attorney General.

The Dems could call him over to testify and Barr could say "Get effing lost I am not coming over" and that would be the end of that.


Dont feel bad, you are caught up in what most Dems do.. We believe in being fair, proper, doing the right thing, etc, etc but that is not who controls the country now.

Schiff, Nadler and Cummings will invite Mueller to testify. I have no doubt that he will comply.

And he would be within his power to do this.

Barr would not be able to stop a congressional subpoena.

If he was an attorney with the DOJ, he might have some Attorney Client privilege or some other legal scenario that would limit what he could say without having Barr or DOJ permission.

Now if we have our president elected this could change for sure.

It is not confirmation that causes an AG to recuse, it is the internal structure and policies at the DOJ.

Sessions’ lie was when Republicans controlled Congress.

The word you want is “quash,” not “squash.”

Dems would invite Mueller, not Barr, to testify, issuing a subpoena if necessary.

I didn’t write the piece. If you have a problem with what was written, it up with Dirk. Here’s the original thread:

But I understand you didnt write that.

I meant squash and I pictured squashing a bug.

If the Dems where to subpoena Mueller saying that Barr would allow this and it happened, and then the DEMS released some report after the DOJ came out and said "No Evidence of Collusion" then the Dems report would just be viewed as a Partisan hack job much like we viewed what Nunes and crew put out.

This would perhaps get info out that we believe.. but thats not what is needed. Its information that is credible for all Americans to believe.

In fact its being reported that the white house is telling the house committees, to "...go eff yourself".


If you think the white house is just going to comply you are mistaken.

It could go to courts for years... then to the supreme court. the Rs have this stacked in their favor.

We need to stop acting childishly like we are going to make something happen here.

We have a chance in the 2020 presidential election but other than that, these subpoenas are going to be wrapped up in court for years.

There are things he couldn’t talk about, such as ongoing investigations, but he would self-police rather than be under someon else’s gag order.

I understand your concern, but I think you’re being a Chicken Little here.

and the American people, and Mueller is nowhere close to finishing his investigation?
