Mitch McConnell Just Blocked A Move To Release The Mueller Report


Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) just blocked a measure by Sen. Chuck Schumer to make the Mueller report public.

Steven Dennis reported:

If the report is so great for Trump, why did McConnell block this measure?

The Republican cover story on the Mueller report is falling apart. There are obvious cracks appearing in the Trump PR scam of “total exoneration.” If the report is so great for Trump and the Republican Party, why won’t they support releasing it to the public? If the report contains everything that Trump and the White House claim it does, Mitch McConnell should have never blocked the resolution and the vote should have been unanimous in support its release.

The reality of the information that is slowly trickling out does not match what Trump and Barr are selling. Mueller wrote his report with the full expectation that Congress would get it. Mueller’s report is intended not to charge Trump with a crime, but to provide investigative evidence and the facts.

The Trump administration and their Republican Senate enablers are hiding the Mueller report because they don’t want Democrats in the House and the American people to read the special counsel’s findings.

Mitch McConnel is helping Trump to hide the Mueller report because what it contains could lead to Republican defeat in 2020.

1. Because nothing says innocence

Like making the report secret.

[RKP5637]

3. Exactly!!! If it were above board, there would not be much to hide! The secrecy implies guilt IMO.

[DeminPennswoods]

20. LOL! Right on target.

[uponit7771]

21. THIS !!!!

[RKP5637]

2. We have what, about 327 million people in the US. We are not back in colonial days! One asshole

should not be able to stand in the way of 327 million people! He does this kind of shit all the time.

[Bettie]

11. Apparently, he has veto power over all legislation

I never realized that the grand poobah of the Senate was more powerful than even the president.

[RKP5637]

32. IMO it's a major flaw in the system. n/t

[warmfeet]

38. Should not, but does.

This win will have to be earned.

[Downtown Hound]

4. And so it begins...

[sheshe2]

5. In that case, may the leaks begin.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. If, as they claim, Spanky has been exonerated of all wrongdoing,

wouldn't they want to make the entire report public ASAP?

[Me.]

7. Can The Senate Stop A Subpoena From The House

or a demand that Mueller testify

[marylandblue]

9. No.

[Me.]

17. Can The SEnate Stop The House From Releasing It To The Public?

[marylandblue]

23. No, they can't do that either, but DOJ could try.

The report is probably classified, so can't be released, but if the House pushes hard enough, they could release a redacted version.

[Me.]

41. THanks For The Answers

[triron]

13. No, But this does put a stumbling block in the way of getting the report.

[Me.]

18. In What Way?

[coti]

8. YES. THIS is the path.

Keep hammering releasing the report.

[StarryNite]

10. I'm shocked, I tell ya!

NOT!

[smirkymonkey]

12. Mitch is as big a villain as Trump is here, if not worse.

He has been shamelessly fucking with us for decades and getting away it. If there is one person I want to see behind bars and destroyed completely, it's him. I can't stand the miserable, old bastard.

[triron]

14. What is Mitch afraid of?

[uponit7771]

15. ***********BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE !!! ************ I posted about this last night (link)

[Goodheart]

16. My solution: House Committee subpoenas Mueller and asks him to read it out loud.

[global1]

19. What Was Mitch's Justification For Blocking Release?.....nt

[Botany]

30. The DoJ needs more time to do something or other

[Firestorm49]

22. Maybe it's time to admit that they have outfoxed us again.

Maybe it’s time to take the gloves off and fight like a man.

[Corgigal]

24. Paypal account to fund the, just drop the report

to the Washington Post? Don't know how we could verify it, but could raise millions for the courageous person. It works for republicans, see all of them.

[struggle4progress]

25. "We have definitive proof he's innocent, and you can't see it!"

[WePurrsevere]

26. If it truly exonerated him, they'd gladly release it. The RepubliCons want

people to trust them. They expect everyone to fall in lockstep and blindly accept all Trump's and their spin and blatant lies and to believe the words of a man, cherry picked to be atty general and put in control of Mueller's report because of his blatant proTrump can do no wrong bias.

Umm... No. If he and they are innocent, release the unedited non-'Readers Digest' version of the report NOW.

Innocent people do NOT act like this.

[sarcasmo]

27. Democracy dying before our eyes, 2020 is our last stand.

[mr_lebowski]

28. F YOU MITCH! However it does seem like Schumer should now start a measure

To release it directly to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Asking for Public Release immediately was probably never, ever going to happen w/Congress getting to see it first.

And the House should do the same, which I'm guessing they will.

[BigmanPigman]

29. Yo Turtle...your tiny handed god says he welcomes its release, so release it!

I can't wait for it to be leaked....ASAP!

[BigDemVoter]

31. I have had it with that ugly, motherfucking turtle necked asshole. . . .

[watoos]

33. We need a Daniel Ellsberg

[58Sunliner]

34. Call, call, call. No justice, no peace!!

[Hassler]

35. Moscow Mitch is just doing what Vlad pays him to do.

[asiliveandbreathe]

36. Muellers Report DID NOT EXONERATE THE POS.....

Good read at Business Insider.....Barr taking heat....accusing him of bias...YA THINK!!!!!!

https://www.businessinsider.com/barr-mueller-report-summary-trump-obstruction-of-justice-russia-2019-3

Barr wrote, it would be difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump had corrupt intent. DUH,!!! Now Barr and Tpos are obstructing justice...may I ask Mr Barr - what is YOUR intent??? Never mind,,we know...

[jalan48]

37. Power Politics.

[Honeycombe8]

39. Of course he did. He's a criminal, too. Like his master Trump. nt
