Pelosi distributes memo to House Democrats ahead of Mueller hearing

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Ahead of former special counsel Robert Mueller's testimony to Congress on Wednesday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has distributed a 6-page memo to House Democrats telling them to "fight for our national security" by safeguarding the U.S. election process.

The memo, which was obtained by CBS News, cites "key findings" from Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. But while Pelosi's memo offers a damning assessment of the president's behavior, it makes no mention of impeachment, an issue that has roiled the Democratic caucus since the spring.

"Democrats will close gaps in existing law, bolster our defenses and uphold the balance of powers enshrined in our sacred Constitution, honoring our oath: investigate, litigate, legislate. Nothing less than the integrity of our democracy, the rule of law and national security are at stake," the memo, titled "Exposing the Truth," reads.

In a broad outline of her party's legislative priorities in the wake of the Mueller report, Pelosi tells her colleagues to secure and defend the U.S. election process, prevent foreign interference and influence, and end corruption and abuse of power in politics.

Any such bill would probably die in the Senate but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

1. Since Trump said he'll cheat in the 2020 election there is no "ballot box" defeat of Trump. Red Don

..., in effect, called off the 2020 election with his announcement that he'll cheat.

Right now all we have is exposing Red Don and some other not recently tested moves by the house

[marble falls]

2. I'm not so sure it would die if McConnell allows it to come to vote.

3. But, but, but.

I read, right here, on DU that Democrats and Pelosi in particular are doing nothing. NOTHING!

Go Nancy.

4. On the problem of barr's extensively published 'misrepresentation' or lies on

what Mueller actually reported - I've not noticed here or elsewhere, any discussion of this problem vis-vis Mueller's Congressional testimonies tomorrow.

[Mueller has every reason to address this problem, however discretely he may choose].

Anyone notice anything anywhere, or opinionate, on this barr problem?

6. I asked for Mueller to read his first letter complaining about

The Barr interpretation of the report - the one he sent on March 25.
I heard someone on Ari's program also call for that letter

8. Great to hear Rachel get into that tonight.

Over on Cuomo, a CA. Congresswoman hit that problem hard.

The most important question she wanted asked of Mueller, 'did the Mueller Report exonerate trump'. She added, that is what I want my constituents to hear'.

[Seems to me Rachel and Lawrence are the best].

[empedocles]

9. Makes it easy to get some kind of clear answer.

10. The Congressman from Maryland, Jamie Raskin, just brought up the two letters

as well - he's on Lawrence with Welsh from Vermont
