[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh its going to court, and the Dems will win. No court is going to say that a Congressional subpoena is unenforceable when Congress is acting in its constitutional oversight role. Even if it gets to the SC, Roberts won't touch that.[/quote]

[quote]After waiting nearly two years, how much of the actual report, if any, will lawmakers and the public be allowed to see?

The answer is largely up to Attorney General William Barr, who, under the regulations governing special counsel investigations, has the final say on how to handle the report on Russia’s role in the 2016 presidential election and potential ties to President Donald Trump’s campaign.

But in making his decision, Barr is bound by federal laws that limit how certain material from federal investigations can be shared. In particular, one section of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure — known in legal circles by its number, 6e — prohibits, with few exceptions, the public release of information obtained through grand jury testimony. The rule is intended to keep information classified in federal criminal investigations, and protect the privacy of an individual or entity that has not been charged with a crime.

“Barr doesn’t have the power to say, ‘We’re turning grand jury information over [to the House of Representatives] for the purposes of an impeachment or anything else,’” said Stephen Bates, a legal expert at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, who worked on the independent counsel investigation into former President Bill Clinton.[/quote]

Dems be impeaching Barr because he WON’T break the law. They aren’t used to that in Bernie land[/quote]
