Barr Held in Contempt

The Democrats have been trying to force Attorney General William Barr to release the unredacted Mueller Report. However, those challenging Barr in Congress know precisely the reason Barr cannot do it: the Congress of the United States. Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, prevents the release of any information about ongoing grand jury investigations. Congress has made several attempts to pass legislation that allowed disclosure in the case of Congress subpoena but have failed to do so. The current pressure aims to force the Attorney General to violate the law – either the Congressional subpoena or Rule 6(e).



“How can we impeach without getting the document?” Rep Hank Johnson

The argument used to justify the current demands is a reference to Watergate. The release of the Watergate documents and Special Prosecutor Starr documents cannot be compared to the current situation. This is because we do not have Special Prosecutors anymore. The law governing Special Prosecutors was allowed to expire in 1999 by Congress. Which is why we have Mueller as a Special Counsel, not as a Special Prosecutor.

The Aim of Impeachment

During Wednesday’s hearing by the House Judiciary Committee, the sitting Democrats unintentionally revealed their ultimate goal – impeachment of President Trump. This was evident when listening to Representative Johnson (D-GA), who is famous for his intellectual wisdom of the capsizing of the small island of Guam. Rep Johnson said: “How can we impeach without getting the document?” However, the most hypocritical comment came from Chairman of the Committee Jerry Nadler from 1990s. He argued that the Special Prosecutor Starr Report about President Clinton should not be released at all.

After voting along party lines, the House Judiciary Committee decided to hold the Attorney General Barr in contempt. This means the legislative branch of the federal government wants to force the executive branch to break the law. It appears the delusional Democrats can still not comprehend the simple conclusion from the Mueller Report: “No collusion, no obstruction.” As a result, the Democrats have provided perfect political ammunition. All benefiting Trump and the Republicans, all for free.
