Rep. Ted Lieu was on CNN last night where he said since the Trump administration brought a “flamethrower to a knife fight” and won’t release a fully redacted Mueller report, Dems have no choice but to do the same and bring a flamethrower of their own:

"The Trump administration is hiding information from the American people and stonewalling Congress at every turn," says Rep. Ted Lieu. "If they're going to bring a flamethrower to this knife fight, then in my view we have to do the same. We have to fight fire with fire." pic.twitter.com/xfkGXSgS5b — CNN Tonight (@CNNTonight) May 7, 2019

This “burn it all!” strategy earned Lieu the Michael Avenatti seal of approval:

Who wants to tell them AG Barr can’t release the whole report that they want to burn down the Constitution over?

And as we told you last night, Dem leadership doesn’t sound like they’re ready to take up Lieu’s plan:
