Earlier today, I saw news where the House voted 420 - 0 for a resolution to release Mueller’s to the public. Now, the Senate has moved to block this report being made public.
Think about that for a moment. The House is controlled by Democrats - yet they are the ones voting for transparency in releasing the report to the public. The Senate is still under Republican control.
So, I ask, who is afraid of the report being made public again? As far as I’m concerned, this speaks volumes.
If there is no “there” there as so many of them are saying - why the necessity to block the report from being public? You’d think they would want everyone to see for themselves it was nothing but a witch hunt.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called for a vote on the measure but was blocked by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who asked that the resolution also include calling for the appointment of a new special counsel to investigate how the Justice Department conducted its investigation.
How does asking to include calling for an appointment of a special counsel into the resolution block it? Did Schumer change his mind and say “well if that’s going to be included I don’t want a vote on it?”
Schumer declined to include Graham’s proposed amendment and said he was “deeply disappointed” in Graham for “blocking this very simple, non-controversial resolution.”
He said he would bring the measure back before the Senate at a later time.
Oh Wait SCHUMER pulled the resolution from a vote after a simple request.
Well, they could always appoint a separate special counsel to investigate what Graham is wanting investigated. I don’t see why that should keep the results of this one from being released. Taxpayers fronted the money for it - though it does look they will be paid back (and then some). I would think it only fair for taxpayers to see what that money was used for.
So why not have special prosecutor look into conduct of CoJ and FBI…and while they’re t it FISA abuse and role that Brennan and Clapper had in on this?

What are they scared of?
Or is justice one way street?
“We let Mueller look at all things Trump, related to collusion and otherwise,” Graham argued on the Senate floor. “Somebody needs to look at what happened on the other side and find out if the FBI and the DOJ had two systems.”
