So no, then?
So no, then?
I’m with you. I like the MCU enough to see the movies in the theater but then I’ve seen it. Don’t feel any real need to have then available to me 24/7.
Robert Mueller’s final report will be confidential to the AG’s office. The Department of Justice can (and no doubt will) fight any subpoena of Mueller as a matter of executive privilege. Care to guess how a Supreme Court that will be 6-3 conservative (with three Trump appointees) at that point is going to rule on this…
He was head of the FBI. He has held various positions in the Justice department including acting Deputy Attorney General. He will and is doing his professional diligence and as part of that diligence will fulfill his mandate-investigate and submit a CONFIDENTIAL report that the AG and the President will then do with…
From the lawfareblog you cite:
And the Trump Administration would then fight the Congress all the way to the Supreme Court. The Trump administration would win that case 5-4. (6-3 if Ginsburg dies between now and then.)
The next AG will do exactly what Trump wants. The DOJ is a member of the executive branch and it’s “independence” exists only to the degree the AG of the moment allows. Mueller’s mandate ends at delivering a report to the Department. There is nothing in law that prohibits that report from then ceasing to exist. The…
Which would be illegal. Robert Mueller is not going to do that.
The House will never see the results of the investigation. It is entirely within the AG’s powers to bury the report forever.
Not legally possible. His mandate is solely to deliver a report to the AG. What happens then is entirely up to the AG who doesn’t have to give a rationale to anybody for his decision.
Mueller’s investigation is not run by the House. It is run by the Justice Department which has complete and unfettered authority to dispose of the final report and all the investigation’s evidence as it see’s fit. You might want to buy stock in shredder manufacturers.
His report will be going straight into the AG’s hands and from there straight into the shredder.
The only reason that act buried Nixon was because there was a majority of people in the President’s own party that recognized his actions had finally crossed a line. You see any similar profiles in courage coming out of today’s Republican party?
Why would he? Everybody is assuming he is some warrior for truth, justice, and the American way. He’s not. He’s a company man. He was assigned a task and went about it as a professional. When the people who assigned the task then order him to stop doing the task and submit a report that will never see the light of…
He works for the Department of Justice. The person who runs the Department of Justice is his boss. And even if his report does indicate Session’s firing is another incidence of obstruction of justice, that page is going right into the shredder along with all the others.

No. It is not good. The investigation is now over and any resulting report and its evidence is going straight into the shredder.
How do you figure? This investigation was started by the DOJ and it is strictly within the department to dispose of the result anyway they see fit. The House has no standing to subpoena any part of it. They can start their own investigation, but they’ll be starting from scratch.

Yes. Let’s all gather and yell. It will give the guys having a shredding party in Mueller’s former offices something to listen to.
