Dems to Putin's boy Trump: pony up Mueller's report or else see Mueller testify

[reagansghost]

Pick your poison traitors, 80% of the voters want to see the unredacted document, not Barr's cartoonish scribble

[dukkha]

ROFL..good luck with that.
The Special Counsel is NOT the same as the Special Prosecutor -the SC answers to DoJ not Congress.
Meaning that the fact the Starr report was sent to Congress in full, is not the same process ( law) Mueller operated under

But Trump has to control the narrative or else people will find out what a conman he is.

DoJ redacts for PARTICULARS -not a "narrative" of Grand Jury and classified info

doesn't matter, you're talking out of your ass...read and learn:

....former FBI director Robert Mueller was appointed to be a special counsel to oversee the investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election and the possibility of collusion between Russia and President Trump's campaign.

So what is a special counsel? And what is the difference between a special counsel, a special prosecutor, and an independent counsel? The terms are largely interchangeable to refer to someone appointed to investigate allegations that could involve a conflict of interest within the Department of Justice. But the manner in which they are appointed and why has changed over time.

how about you back some of your bullshit up for once?

One way or another, it's going to come out. Having Mueller testify might be better.

I don't know what you're babbling about, love to hear your explanation, go.....


in the mean time read and learn some more:


A special counsel is a government prosecutor who has been appointed to oversee a criminal investigation where the Justice Department has a conflict of interest or under certain circumstances where it would be "in the public interest" to appoint a investigator outside the department.

In the case of the Trump/Russia investigation, Attorney General Jeff Sessions' recusal, as well the heightened scrutiny after the firing of FBI director James Comey, prompted Deputy Attorney General to appoint Mueller as special counsel. He cited the "unique circumstances of this matter."

The appointment of a special counsel by the attorney general or deputy attorney general is "unreviewable," according to the Center for Legal and Economic Studies.

The term special counsel simply replaced the term "special prosecutor" that was used through the 1980s, after which the laws around special prosecutors expired and were not renewed, therefore retiring the term.

Both terms refer to an independent overseer who can investigate governmental records and press criminal charges.

The term independent counsel, comes from Congress's post-Watergate decision to authorize the creation of an independent special counsel for investigations in 1978 with the Ethics in Government Act. The law dictated that a three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals in Washington, DC, appoint the counsel.

The law, which was reauthorized several times until 1999, was used more than a dozen times to initiate investigations, according to PBS Frontline. It was used perhaps most famously in the 1990s to appoint Kenneth Starr to oversee investigations into President Bill Clinton's conduct.
