If your car has a bad transmission, tires are bald, starter is hinky, shocks are worn out, and radiator is leaking (so AC and heat do not work properly), it would be time to move on, right?
Key House panel asks federal judge for grand-jury evidence underlying the Mueller report
A federal judge will hear arguments Tuesday from the House Judiciary Committee, which is demanding the grand-jury evidence behind special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The panel subpoenaed the evidence as part of the wide-ranging impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump, who calls the inquiry a partisan witch hunt. The Judiciary Committee is focusing on potential obstruction of justice, as described in 10 episodes in the Mueller report. But Attorney General William Barr redacted grand-jury evidence from the report and argued against disclosing it under the subpoena.
U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell, the chief judge for the D.C. district who oversees the grand jury, is hearing the case. Her ruling could resolve a key dispute about the status of the House’s investigation of Trump.
Mueller’s 22-month investigation found no conspiracy between Trump’s campaign and Russia, despite that country’s sweeping and systematic effort to influence the 2016 election. But the report released in April outlined potential obstruction when Trump tried to thwart the special counsel inquiry and have Mueller removed. Mueller made no decision about whether to charge Trump with obstruction because Justice Department policy forbids charging a president while in office.
The Democrats are like those creepy stalkers many celebrities have, who require a restraining order.
