DOJ & Nadler Differ on Scope of Deal to Allow Viewing of Mueller Report
By BarbWire - June 13, 2019
Democrats have a long history of operating by a blank check mentality.
When it comes to spending on things they want, the sky is the limit, as they can always tax the American people.
When it comes to giving them any leeway on anything, they automatically think it’s a blank check that gives them access to everything.
Such is the mentality being exhibited by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, who believes that deal worked out with the DOJ gives House Democrats full access to everything about the Mueller report.
However, DOJ officials say the deal was not a blank check, but only gives them access to certain documents involved with the Mueller report.
Fox News – DOJ pushes back at Dem gloating over Mueller report deal: ‘This isn’t a blank check’ – DOJ pushes back at Dem gloating over Mueller report deal: ‘This isn’t a blank check’ – Justice Department officials are pushing back on the suggestion that a recently struck deal with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler will give Democrats unfettered access to documents pertaining to former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
A source familiar with the negotiations told Fox News on Tuesday that while the agreement with Nadler, D-N.Y., would allow members of his committee to review certain underlying evidence associated with the Mueller report, he is not going to get access to “wh**ever documents he wants.”
“This is not a blank check. They can’t just see wh**ever they want,” the source told Fox News. “They have to tell us what they want to see and then we will consider that legitimate request. This is just the start of a process.” …
In what is sure to infuriate Nadler and his fellow Democrats is the clarification that whenever Nadler requests a document that the White House gets to review the document first to determine if it is appropriate to give to House Democrats.
This comes at time when another House committee is trying to file contempt of Congress charges against Attorney General William Barr for his refusal to appear before the committee after being subpoenaed to appear.
Some are urging President Donald Trump to exercise his executive privilege to keep Barr from being forced to appear before the House committee.
After all, Obama did the same thing with then Attorney General Eric Holder when congressional Republicans tried to subpoena him for testifying about Operation Fast and Furious.

"Checks & Balances" are not carte blanc and have their limitations......
Dems are violating "Abuse of Powers"
When even the idea of a Bill Clinton impeachment was even mentioned ~ Nadler formed a "walkout of Dems in Congress" because they didn't want to hear the mountains of "lawful evidence" compiled against B Clinton....However, Nadler, Cummings & Schiff want more and more investigations in an attempt to relive the Mueller witch hunt...
Hopefully Trump's lawsuit against the few in Congress will yield somr legal results and get these clowns back to doing what they are paid to do....

You are right, the more Trump gives them then the more they will want. It is nothing about oversight or anything else except the never ending search to find anything they can use against Trump.

I just wonder if most of the American people are as sick and tired of this political bull s**t as I am
all our politicians should be tarred and feathered,run out of town
and some new politicians instituted into power
maybe they would get the message
and start trying to fix our country
instead of tearing it down

Who appointed Nadler and Schiff and cronies to be God? They simply look as ridiculous as Mueller. Private citizens who were subpoenaed for wh**ever reason are protected so that not even Nadler! His Holiness, can touch them.

There isn'a anything that dems can't have, including the sealed grand jury indictment material they are formally asking the court for.
When the DOJ turned over the Mueller report the standard would have been to turn over the report and all of the supporting documents referred to in the report. The DOJ just typically hands it all over. No going through it, no sending it over to the white house first.
Nadler needed to proceed with the contempt v**e and get what he wants with their new streamlined court process. The white house is dead the first time their assertion of executive privilege gets seen by a judge, they don't seem to understand what it is or what it applies to. For instance there is no executive privilege with Wilbur Ross and what he lied about with the census question, it's obstruction for the sake of obstruction.

Actually congress can subpoena anyone they want to in the interest of getting to the bottom of their oversight. The person playing the role of a supreme ruler is Trump refusing to give congress anything about anything. The white house has said they are not giving congress anything, when congress was working on price gouging by drug companies, and wanted to get to the bottom of facts so they can effectively legislate the GOP interfered and sent letters to them telling them not to cooperate (on the grounds that the information would be used against them)...well Duh, of course it will if there is clear evidence. That is white house administration interference with legislative investigations.

I'm sick and tired of obstruction and a president that puts himself and his interests ahead of the country and it's people.

There were no "grand jury indictments" ~~ For any of the grand jury materials to be released they would have to have this approved via a court action ~~ AG office cannot approve grand jury materials without a court approval...
Pres Trump's attorneys have a lawsuit filed for "abuse of powers" but has not been ruled on yet ~ The Pres Attys have also petitioned the Sup Ct to do their "fast track hearings" on these "stays" - "injunctions" etc that the radical liberal Dist Ct judges are doing against every order or declaration that Pres Trump tried to accomplish...
