Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, walked back his statement from earlier Sunday claiming that special counsel Robert Mueller had agreed to the “tentative date” of May 15 to testify before the panel.
Cicilline, during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” said representatives for Mueller had agreed to the committee’s proposed date, but warned there’s no “absolute guarantee” that the former FBI chief would show up to testify.
“Just to clarify,” Cicilline tweeted hours after his Fox News interview, “we are aiming to bring Mueller in on the 15th, but nothing has been agreed to yet. That’s the date the Committee has proposed, and we hope the Special Counsel will agree to it. Sorry for the confusion.”
Democrats have been angling for Mueller to testify before congressional committees in the wake of his expansive investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice as the probe proceeded.
Attorney General William Barr’s finding that Trump did not obstruct justice coupled with his decision to release a redacted version of Mueller’s nearly 450-page report stoked concerns among Democrats who fear the Trump-appointed Justice Department head is playing defense for the president.
These rotten Democrats just won’t give up! Boy this is the biggest example of sour grapes in the history of mankind and it is all on the Dems, media, Obamas and Clintons.
Scumbag Nadler needs to be impeached. He refuses to let Republicans on his committee, speak. He shut off Getz’s mic when he tried to ask to be heard. Also, He has been paying a russian “spy”, a thousand dollars a month after an initial payment of $50,000. ALSO, Nadler’s son is an associate lawyer at a law firm that is one of the firms that are suing Pres. Trump. This guy needs to be gone NOW
Mueller should not be allowed to testify. He got paid handsomely for filing a report that was incomplete, he should be made to pay every cent back. He refused to read Barr’s comments and then criticized Barry for his statement. When Mueller refused to give a determination on obstruction and to leave it in the hands of others, he lost his right to comment. He is finished and now should be charged with duping the American public for turning in a half assed report. The dems didn’t get the answer they wanted so now they arrange a meeting with Mueller to discuss how to get him to give them the right answers. Sorry folks, report is finished, live with it. NO REDUES. What’s the matter, couldn’t find a plane to meet in.
you said it, they need to get their big girl and boy drawers on, the fun is just about to begin, Mr. Barr is going to clean house, pun intended!
What`s easier to believe Lil Willie was golfing in 110-degree weather in the shade with no handicap? Loretta couldn`t wait to show Willie 20-year-old snapshots of her jailed family.
“Trump-appointed Justice Department head” This line is laughable. This line is intended for the stupid to believe that Trump is committing a crime by appointing Barr as AG. The fact is that the AG is a cabinet position and ALL presidents in the past have appointed their own AG.
I agree with you. Enough is enough!! I am so sick of this crap, and that is the only things the dems have. They sure have not been doing their jobs, I am not sure they even know what their jobs are.
THIS IS NOT THE SAME END GAME OF POLITE POLITICS. WE ARE IN A DANGEROUSE TIME FOR ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS. THIS IS A “GLOBALIST” ATTACK BIGGER THAN THE GOVERNMENT WANT US TO BELIEVE. THE CONSTITUTION IS AT RISK.
All Flap and no throttle..Choke on it DEMS.
All flap and no throttle! Choke on it DEms..
Democrats continue to show their ignorance of the law, even the lawyers among them. It’s either that or they just totally don’t give a rip about the law.
The answer is….B) They make up the “law” as they go…The laws are for everyone else, they do as the darn well please…Just like the Obummer-appointed judges, they rewrite the laws as they see fit for themselves. That nets them additional funds getting into their bank accounts.
dimms – POINT OF VEIW IS , IF U SCREEM. LOUDER & MORE , IT SHOULD BE TRUE , AND MADE INTO A LAW JUST FOR THE , ‘ DEMON-RATZ PARTY OF INSANITY , & STUPIDITY ‘.. !!
Omar needs to go back to where ever it is she migrated from.
Biden and his family need to disclose sll dealings with foreign companies. Also Biden needs to come clean on what he knew during his tenure at the Obama white house serving as VP. Dems now going after Barr because they are scared at what he, Barr is going to investigate and find out.
Mueller is upset at the media and their speculations about Barr’s interpretation of the Mueller report. Trump is cleared only you and your crooked media wants to deny the truth. Go suck on your pacifiers because babies upset adults with their whining and crying.
#ChangeNadsNappy It stinks!
THIS IS GETTING MOST INTERESTING.MULLER MAY OR MAY NOT TESTIFY ON THE 13TH OF MAY, SEN. HARRIS IS TRYING TO STOP SPYGATE INVESTIGATION. NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR DEMOCRATES
ABOUT TIME…..
I don’t understand, since the economy is booming, you would think that the democratic
party ( just a little bit) take advantage, and raise
taxes, or something else. Instead of going after
the best President since the 1960’s!
Is there anything else we need to know?
It’s like the democratic party is afraid of prosecutions to come. I wonder if it is bigger
than we all hoped for. We should pay attention to
the bigger names of the democratic party.
They are hiding something that needs to be
Discovered.
Most of the ones running on the democrat ticket think that will stop them from being indicted. Lol I got news for them it won’t. Barr will take it to them. Just wait and see.
These people put out their own FAKE NEWS. This Congressman is well known to be a lot of hot air. Truth is the furthest thing they want to hear.
Yes fucking illbreeding despicable of Democrats is afraid of Barr next move of investigate on issues of to bottom of Russia collusion of how and why it’s started from beginning then other one is spying Trump campaign team and FISA ??!
all be related to fucking Obama then his bunch of dogs? So Democrats try to discredite him of couldn’t do these thing? Wait to see all clown come out right to bottom thing??!!
To Demorats…rather than you collecting your next pay check would you be willing to bend over and I’ll put the pointed end of my cowboy boot up your ass, then you’ll have something real to talk about. No discrimination here , both men and women, old men , young men, women, women of color…. l’d like to start with Waters and Pelosi, but will have to flip a coin for first served! Well need to do it next to a wall and get good videos for public viewing!
Am damned sick of you wasting my tax dollar and not getting anything done , quit the political bulkshit: lying, whining, court, supeanas, rumors, backstabbing, threats….isn’t baby killing, defending criminal alien entry, alien murders, rapes, violence, gangs, drugs, diseases , socialism, and literally bankrupting the country enough?
Just one of me, but 100 more friends/ family working hard to see that America is preserved in 2020! The 100 turning in to a 1000. And then millions who see your wicked ways! If you can’t get along and be bi- partisan on pressing American issues go the fuck home and live off all the political money you’ve gathered over many years . Dam flakes you are! Hard working and tax paying Americans are sick of politicians acting like 2nd graders that didn’t get their way!
Take a good look at the public behavior of: Pelosi, Waters, Nadler, Schiff, Warren, Finstein, and the infamous late night hosts; deplorable, sick, rude, racist….. America, wake up and take a good look at these left-wing Anti- American S.O .B.’s.
Democrats are so filled with hate that they investigate anything and every thing to generate
A reason to take down the president. In fact they aren’t working for the people,at sll, just for themselves
.communists, socialists and a small scatter of centrists. They have been and arer useless to the people. I would never vote for them
Guess I have to agree with you and may I add ever sense politically correct entered the picture we no longer have real truth.
Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) apparently is wishing that Mueller will come to testity on May 15! And if he doesn’t, is Nadler going to issue a subpoena and a Contempt of Congress citation? After a while Contempt of Congress will mean nothing more than a piece of paper with less power behind it than for jaywalking and that is when Congress will fulfill its wish to become the laughingstock of the world!
eric holder proved this
#ChangeNadsNappy It stinks!
After reading Flood’s letter to the AG, it will be very interesting to hear Mueller defend the “extraordinary legal defects” of his report and why he allowed it. Was it politics or incompetence? We’ll see I guess.
If it does come to pass that the Obama administration conspired to overthrow the duly elected president, should these present day Democrats in the House be charged with obstruction of justice? It sure seems that way.
What happened to my post?
Watch them back out for fear of what Mueller has to say! They are the most reprehensible people ever to sit in WE, THE PEOPLE’S House of Representatives! They don’t want the truth! They want Trump out of office, even though WE, THE PEOPLE duly voted him INTO office. They don’t care about us; they don’t care that Mueller didn’t find anything on OUR PRESIDENT; they don’t care about this country; and finally, the DON’T CARE about DOING THEIR JOBS THAT THEIR CONSTITUENTS SENT THEM TO DC TO DO! They ONLY thing they CARE about is WHAT THEY WANT!
It is time for conservatives to show THEM WHAT WE WANT, and vote EVERY DEM OUT OF OFFICE in 2020!
Ditto–Neither would I and a GREAT many others that previously voted for the left –BIG change ever since T. Kennedy days–MANY many crooks in Congress these days–one can start making them easily since the Kavanauh (sp) ? Hearings–Any that really believed Mrs Ford need some examination– She had evidence that even her friends contested ! THINK about it! dgl
I started (but did not finish) studying Constitutional Law back in the mid 80’s and to my best recollection, it used to be that Search Warrants and Subpoenas could NOT … EVER … be used for “fishing expeditions.” NO WARRENT OR SUBPOENA COULD EVER BE ISSUED BY A COURT OF LAW WITHOUT A JUSIFIABLE CAUSE … to search specific areas, for further evidence of a specific crime, or crimes. The ONLY thing the deomcrats ever have is just, “we FEEL that there must be a crime somewhere … please let us try to find it.” Crooked, lying, slime-sucking perverts, every damned one of them. In his own wonderful way I would LOVE to see and hear President Trump to tell them (on national television) exactly where (and how deep) they call ALL shove their pathetic inquiries!
hey Chuck,
“The 80’s”… that’s close to 30-years ago – human memories get plenty rusty in less than 30-years…
We understand!
What are they going to do when Mueller says there is no grounds for collusion. Barr is right but the Democrats keep pushing until the Democrats are totally destroyed. They will not be happy until there is no breath left in the Democratic party.
Now they are more concerned about Obstruction! If mueller had hinted that there was even a trace of Collusion.. mueller would be a saint! If Barr agreed .. then he would be the best doj ever!
Mueller just left a mysterious suggestion that there MIGHT have been obstruction so of course they are running with that! What fools!
several lifelong dnc voters have said due to the actions of the dnc controlled house. they will not be likely to vote for any member of that party in 2020…….. latest debit card records from college kids and grands. i agree the rule of law re suspena et al have to have some backing i fail to see anthing from the house to prove or provide that data. question for lawyers if the house pushs illegal supenas et al why cant they individually be held finacially liable for costs involved including those of the recepeant
in civel court not govt might prove intresting key is illegal from the get go.
I couldn’t agree more with the comments I have read about the democrats. Quit a few years ago I can’t remember the democrats being so stupid. This sounds like a bunch of babies wanting the bottle first. I can remember back years ago voting for both republicans and democrats, but now the democrats acting like this makes me not too ever vote democrat again.
The complete death of the Democrat Party would be good for America. Let us have some common sense people take over and actually do what the Democrats say they want to do? They say they want to help the lower and middle class, then why not do something to prove it? All we get from them now is lies and more “investigations”, a train to no where.
I wonder if some of the info that was leaked to the press originated. from Clintons unsecured server. Wouldn’t that be something!
Wait till they finally go after all the dems that got this whole thing started. And it’s going to go high. Maybe even to BO. I pray they even go after HC. She helped start it and paid for the fake report. Got the brits into it and Russia. They all wanted to end America as America. I hope they all go to Hell if not to jail.
The Democrats have gone totally nuts. Even more nuts that I thought was possible. Why the heck would anyone want to be a Democrat. Maybe to prove they are very, very stupid.
The democRats care absolutely nothing for the American people, all are pawns, nothing more nothing less
When are the Democrats going to start doing what they were voted to do? Almost 4 months and they have passed no decent legislation. When are they going to do something about the crisis at the border?
every Dem out there should see the pictures of adults such as the ones who had chicken grease dripping down his chin and another bringing a statue of a chicken to a meeting in the WH . We try to teach our children fair play and yet we have adults acting worse then a child . The display was disgusting and what is really SCARY is these people are sitting in our government where they are suppose to be working for this country. This is what happens when you have officials who think they have more rights then others . I will never vote Dem again. The whole party is selling out this country . they say socialism because they don’t want to admit to the word communism. This is about power and greed . And filling their pockets with lobbyist money.
I guess the world is and has goten an eye full of the disgusting Dems playing games for years now, and it is catching up with them, I hope they bust the whole bunch, they have ruined the lives of people that have done nothing wrong, and are trying to ruin the life of our President and his family, he won the election, but the are unable to accept it, and never will, they have wasted two years and millions of taxpayer money for a wasted cause of their own, and still are not satisfied with the results, because it did not give the answers they wanted, and are now blaming the Attorney General, and are picking him to peices trying to make him change his decision on the report, and now are on the guy they hired to oversee their investigation, because he found no collusion or anything else, they are a disgrace to to our country and their titles, and to themselves, they should all resign.
Good post Mary Ann and you are completely correct our so called represenatives have taken it upon themselves to decide what we want or not want while listening to the wrong people. Our country is slowly slipping into socialism right before our eyes. Never have liked the idea that our congress can make laws and exempt themselves from it. Something stinks in Washington and it isn’t lobbyist only but the weak that listens to them.
Well said, everyone!!
The rest of the world must be laughing at the US with the fiasco playing out tin Washington DC. Before the Muller report was issued, the D were happy and they they were going to get Trump. Now that it is issued, they are not too happy, and want more. I don’t believe they should get more, but if they did, and it was not to their liking, then I guess they would want more again. Some of their candidates for president are total idiots, like AOC, and her crazy positions on about everything, which are incorrect. Guess HC can’t stand the fact that she lost the election via the EC, which should remain, as its purpose was to not give the 4/5 most populated states control of the entire government in DC. The framers of our constitution quite obviously did have some smarts, though the present D would debate that. Yes, probably most were slave owners, but that was a totally different time in history. However the C Bookers and the Dems want to change history, unfortunately history is history whether they accept it or not. In the early 1900 when the Irish, Jews and Italians came over, legally, and became citizens, speaking English, they were often ridiculed as being potatoe eaters, kites, and waps, they accepted it and moved on. Not in today’s world with the blacks or mexicans, or any nationality they find it offensive. I don’t agree that our founding fathers owned slaves, and may or may not have treated them civilly, but that is history, and it cannot be changed by removing statues, and the like. It would not surprise me to see a proposition by our great leaders in Washington, saying that we should do away with the US Constitution, as it was framed by “slave owners” . The present position with sanctuary cities, is an affront to the working citizens in the US, They work, pay their taxes, and obey the laws. Most of the immigrants don’t work, or if they do, they work for “cash”, do not pay taxes, but want all the benefits of US citizens who do pay taxes – like free health care, free tuition benefits, etc. The Dem congressmen want this position, but except for taxing the highest US taxpayers, they offer no viable way to pay for it. Oh, I forgot, the health care companies, and the college professors were not going to charge the illegals for either benefits, and I guess the compay employees and professors were going to work for free. I have no problem with immigrants coming into the country, but come in legally, work, pay taxes, as my grandparents did in the 1910s, and they never asked for handouts, they worked multiple jobs when necessary to support their families.
subpoena him and when he doesn’t show hold him n contempt of congress
Yeah funny but I don’t think anyone in congress will be dloing this soon, as Mueller is history and of no value to dems/libs/media any more
