Jerrold Nadler, the current chair of the House Judiciary Committee orchestrated the comedy shows of the last two meetings I watched.
On the day before AG Barr was to appear, Nadler ignored House Rules and forced a change in the procedure for questioning White House Cabinet members. Never in the history of the committee have persons other than the committee members been allowed to question the witness.
Nadler, and other Democrat Party members wanted to turn the Barr hearing in an impeachment type investigation…because Nancy Pelosi has essentially taken impeachment proceedings off the list of coming events on the House floor.
Nadler’s latest gimmick is to threaten Barr with contempt charges if he does not issue the unredacted report by Monday, May 6.
What No-nads Nadler fails to mention is that Barr:
Was not required by law or regulations to release ANY of the report.
Has made an unredacted copy of the report available in a secure reading room…which NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRAT has used to see the redactions.
Jerrold Nadler is the one who should be inpeached!
Rep. Steve Cohen (D) Tennessee 9th District…needs to put some spacklingcompound on that alcoholic nose. He needs to step away from the booze bottles for a few years.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D) Maryland, 8th District is another idiot on the Democrat Party roster. He compares redacting 8% of the Mueller report (classified information) to redacting 8% of the US Constitution.
Actually for legal purpose it’s Unauthorized Surveillance.
You can call it by any other name but that’s the legal term.
For the record I’m sure there is lot more that we haven’t heard, from wiretapping, FISA abuse and unmasking to inserting spies/informants inside Trump campaign and then his presidency.
We know they spies. But what did Barr mean by Unauthorized Surveillance. He knows something that isn’t made public.
Surveillance is simply monitoring or observing something, whether that which is being watched is aware of it or not.
Surveillance that requires invading someone’s privacy (such as tapping phone lines, bugging private spaces or attaching a GPS module to a vehicle…requires a warrant. Following and watching someone in public does not. Making friends with someone and reporting their actions does not.
All of the above constitute spying. Regarding the notorious FISA warrant based on the Steele dossier, it gave authorization to spy…so what the FBI did was not unauthorized surveillance. However, the authorization was fraudulently obtained, therefore the spying was improper…because the warrant was illegally obtained.
With a warrant, it is legal spying (authorized surveillance)
I think there is lot more then what he have learned. Barr didn’t say those two words without some thought behind it. There is a reason why he said what he did.
Keep that in back of your mind. I think we only heard/know only 10 percent or so of what really went down.
Eric Swallow wells just embarrassed himself here. These idiots claim to be lawyers yet they can even cite correctly in relation to the law in which they are trying to grandstand. Nothing but Kubuki Theater here!
It’s all political theater and the faint hope that there’s some hidden nugget in the still redacted portions of the report they can use to justify impeachment, nothing more, nothing less.
What is even more astounding is that only 2% of the entire report is redacted! Add insult to injury, Nadler is asking Barr to break the law! Nadler truly is the biggest moron!
