Judiciary chair vows special counsel report will be made public: 'We can invite Mueller to testify'

Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) was on Cuomo Prime Time Friday night, and the House Judiciary chairman wasted no words when it came to how serious he takes Mueller’s ongoing Russia probe.

“We have to get this report out to the American people,” he told host Chris Cuomo of Mueller’s impending report, which some have speculated Republicans and the new Attorney General would instead like to quash.

“We will get that information out one way or another,” Nadler said of Mueller’s eventual report to the Attorney General. “If [Barr] refuses to get it out, our committee will subpoena it….we can invite Mueller to testify,” he told Cuomo, adding emphatically “we will get it out.”

Bravo Chairman Nadler! The people need to see this. The Republicans are only interested in burying the report.

thing for over two weeks and they are as confident and serious as Nadler. I believe they will find a way to do it.

that Mueller's team are no dummies and he is 100% sure that a copy of the report will land at the front door of The NY Times if Barr or anyone tries to keep it from the public. I trust Nance too.

10. I get the feeling Mueller took a page from Obama & Biden: it will be spread all over the place...

I just remember Biden saying, during the pre-inaugural period, that the evidence for the Russia investigation already begun at that time was stored in multiple locations. (Paraphrasing here) "There's no possibility that someone could swoop into a single room and bag everything for the incinerator." And then he smiled.

Barr and/or Trump could indeed fire Mueller, but I don't think they can scrub all the evidence. And the new Democratic committee heads in the House are bound and determined that the evidence will come to light, one way or another.

11. Rest assured Mueller and everyone on his team have saved all their work on thumb drives.

Even attorneys working on inconsequential crap save their work on backup drives/thumb drives.

to put up to cover up. The genie is out of the bottle at this point so their efforts will be futile. So glad we have people like Nadler & Schiff.

14. Should have Mueller testify now. Provide a status of the ongoing investigation(s) now, and ...

what's left (generally speaking, provide no details as to what's remaining, so the rest of the investigation(s) won't be compromised). The American people deserve a status. This affects all of us.
