Authority and our nations separation of powers. You dont have to take my own word for it. Donald trump has declared, quote, we are fighting all subpoenas, and i dont want people testifying, end quote. These words make Richard Nixon look like an eagle scout. His attorney general, william barr, is apparently more than willing to follow the president s command. Hes refused to release the full unredacted Mueller Report and the underlying evidence until a compromise was finally reached yesterday. Thats after the Judiciary Committee had already voted to hold him in contempt of congress. Apparently, the attorney general went from being americas lawyer to being the defense counsel for the president of the United States. I hope the Justice Department acts in good faith on this new agreement. These are documents that Congress Needs to see in response to special counsel muellers findings, but if they do not and if the attorney general holds back key information, then all options need to be on the

You might remember early on it was floated some names were floated who might be tapped to be the fbi director. A lot of those were politicians. They did get some resistance from the democrats so considering the wray is a life long Law Enforcement officer, not a political type, this could be more palatable for the democrats. All right.
