"If necessary, our committee will subpoena the report. If necessary, we'll get Mueller to testify," Rep. Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat, told CNN's Anderson Cooper on "Anderson Cooper 360." "The American people need the information here."

Mueller is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 campaign and possible collusion between Trump associates and Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Barr was nominated by the President after Trump fired his last attorney general, Jeff Sessions, in November.

1. Thank gawd for Pelosi, Nadler, Adam Schiff, and so many of our House Reps....

while many of ours in the Senate fight hard as well, it is going to be these determined people who make the difference...

2. Of course they will.

They have been saying they would for months and I trust that they will.

3. Midterms sealed his fate.

I don't think even a slimy old hack like Barr wants to go to prison. Same reason Sessions was gone. He didn't want to do prison time for Trump. With all the people involved in this prosecution it would be impossible to bury it. Not to mention State of New York might eventually get off its ass and drop some bombs.

4. We have on branch of government finally able to do its job. Yay! n/t

5. The end report is one case where all Americans need to stand up and be heard. We can handle it.

6. Do it now. Don't let them piss around in court with it.

8. THIS!!

I'm hoping the House ALREADY secretly has a copy!!!!

10. The American People Must Demand that Mueller Report be Public

When push comes to shove if that report isn’t made public we must don yellow vests, and hit the streets!

7. Sure hope such a meticulous Special Prosecutor

has a fail-safe fourth estate "insurance" plan for that report that ultimately doesn't depend on a Legislative/Judicial/Executive balancing act. The People deserve whatever answers that report contains. What justice is served by plea deals that held blameless the highly suspect of criminal actions of many on condition of cooperation, and therefore pardonable, serving the one under some weird code of Executive "plausible deniability" that preserves and protects a Don committing high crimes and misdemeanors assisted by a cabal of dirty players???

9. I heard ji6m say this last night and I went to sleep with

a smile on my face. Thank Dog we did the work and GOTV, winning the midterms. I wouldn't be able to live in a GOP controlled House and Senate and tRump for two more years.
