Senior Republican Says Democrats Are Unlikely to Get Access to Evidence from Mueller Probe
By David Morgan


WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is unlikely to grant Democrats in Congress access to underlying evidence from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, a top congressional Republican said on Friday.


If Representative Doug Collins is right, Democratic-led congressional committees that have launched their own probes of Trump may be stuck with a Mueller investigation report that serves more as a general guidebook than a detailed roadmap of Russian interference and any Trump campaign collusion.

Democrats, who control the House of Representatives, want congressional investigators to have access to Mueller’s grand jury evidence and other information from the probe, fearing that Attorney General William Barr could release only a summary of Mueller’s report.

But Collins, the senior Republican on the House Judiciary Committee who met with Barr last week, told reporters that he expects any effort by Democrats to obtain such data from the Justice Department to end up in court, unless Mueller finds that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

“They have never released it, and we don’t expect that to happen again now,” said Collins.

The Mueller report, Washington’s most eagerly anticipated tome in years, is expected soon. Barr must decide what to do with it, a major test for the new Justice Department chief.

1. Dems will subpoena Mueller and have him read it word for word. No more cover up.

2. Trump can have mueller gagged and the report "classified"....BUT the House Impeachment committee

can subpoena and take testimony from all that Mueller did to build the case against trump and his inner circle. The american people will be even more anti-trump if this the tact trump would take.

The supreme court will be involved and make rulings on a royal president or a constitutional president.
