Congress has just voted to hold AG Barr in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with their subpoena of the unredacted Mueller report?

I have heard conflicting stories about the legality of this proceeding. I have heard that AG Barr can not be ordered to break federal law by Congress, and that by providing Congress with unredacted materials relating to ongoing Grand Jury information Barr would be breaking the law.

I have heard that ALL information in the Mueller report is available to Congress except for protected Grand Jury information.

LMAO. If he would have given them the unredacted version they would want him charged with breaking federal law. Nope, you can't be compelled to commit a crime no matter how many times congress jumps up and down screaming you must.

By the way, all congress can do is refer the contempt charge to the Justice Dept. for prosecution. How far do you think that will go?

@bowman81 I am listening to Mary Gay Scanlon, representative from Pennsylvania, who swears up and down that Congress is asking Barr to OBEY the law. She is obviously full of poo.

Referring the AG of the United States back to the DOJ will flop on it's face, of that I am sure. However, that is not the reason for all of this. The reason is to smear Barr's good reputation, so that if he investigates the beginnings of the Mueller report they can say he is dirty.
