They want not just the full report but all the underlying evidence in the case. That’s ridiculous. The DOJ should never even have given them the report to begin with.
Via Daily Caller:
The House Judiciary Committee voted Wednesday to vote to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for not giving the committee special counsel Robert Mueller’s full, unredacted report.
The committee, led by New York Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler, originally gave Barr a deadline of 9 a.m. Monday to turn in the full report with no redactions, which many Republicans believe would be dangerous due to the possibly sensitive material, which could be leaked.
Nadler scheduled the congressional contempt vote for Wednesday at 10 a.m. All Democrats present voted to advance the vote to hold Barr in contempt of Congress in the procedural vote. The vote to hold Barr in contempt will occur later Wednesday.
“If the committee decides to proceed in spite of this request, however, the Attorney General will advise the President to make a protective assertion of executive privilege,” Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd wrote in the letter to Nadler Tuesday.
