Dems Have Vastly More to Fear from Full Mueller Report than GOP (UPDATED) | Roger L. Simon

Dems Have Vastly More to Fear from Full Mueller Report than GOP (UPDATED) | Roger L. Simon
"Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler is huffing and puffing away about his committee's subpoena-in-waiting lest Attorney General William Barr not be sufficiently forthcoming about the details of the Mueller Report.
“But if we cannot reach an accommodation, then we will have no choice but to issue subpoenas for these materials,” Nadler warned. "And if the department still refuses, then it should be up to a judge — not the president or his political appointee — to decide whether or not it is appropriate for the committee to review the complete record.”
Methinks the chairman doth protest too much. 
In other words, it's all a charade for the faithful. 
He doesn't really want to do anything. 
Likely Nadler is secretly praying Barr redacts the whole damn thing or ties things up in the courts for long enough for the investigation to disappear at least somewhat down the memory hole.
...No, the Republicans have little to fear. 
As Chairman Mao would put it, let a hundred Mueller reports bloom.
UPDATE: I see the NYTimes has made its latest salvo against Trump in re: Mueller. 
As almost always with the paper, the article relies on anonymous sources, just as did in its now discredited Pulitzer Prize reporting on the subject. 
See the source imageAt question of course is whether Trump "obstructed" justice in a crime it is now admitted never happened. 
The Kafkaesque nature of this accusation is obvious. 
It's hard to imagine Donald Trump, of all people, as Joseph K., but those are times in which we live.  
Remember Trump complaining loudly a couple of years ago that he was "wiretapped" and the media uniformly dismissing him as paranoid? 
Kafka indeed."
