...Even though they know they were asking Barr to break the law and commit a crime by commanding that he release the full unredacted Mueller report. And even though an amendment was proposed to change the wording of the subpoena to exclude article 6(e) (grand jury testimony that is not allowed to be public) from the report. What a circus. All this is is an attempt on their part to delay Barr from investigating them. But it's not prohibiting Barr from continuing on doing his job...so nothing is gained by yet another waste of time and taxpayers dollars by doing this.

This was the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee v**e. House leaders will now decide whether to take up the contempt citation on the House floor for a final v**e. If approved, the measure would be referred to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia -- who could choose not to act. House Democrats could also pursue a lawsuit.

Well, I think it's about politics more than that. I do, however, agree that they are seeking to also keep the American people's attention off of the investigation of the investigators!

The DOJ has already responded: "No one, including Chairman Nadler and his Committee, will force the Department of Justice to break the law."

Now it will go to the federal district court who will determine if the contempt charge is enforceable and will then will order him to testify or have him arrested.

Arrested????..For what???...If Eric Holder didnt get arrested when 1 Border Patrol officer died because of horrible Fast and the Furious....I doubt AG Barr will be arrested for protecting the law!!!

They didn't subpoena Barr to testify, they subpoenaed him to submit an illegal, unredacted version of Mueller's report. It looks like they want to have the Attorney General of the United States arrested for refusing to break the law....is that what you're spewing??? Really???

Now it goes to the full House, if passed, it will proceed through the courts. Read and gain an education.
