Amid a flurry of blacked-out pages in Robert Mueller's redacted report, House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler said Thursday that he would subpoena the full unredacted document.
“Because Congress requires this material in order to perform our constitutionally-mandated responsibilities, I will issue a subpoena for the full report and the underlying materials,” Nadler said. Nadler has also requested that special counsel Robert Mueller testify before Congress "as soon as possible."
Just a guess that Mueller is champing at the bit to clear up the record on his findings after Attorney General William Barr bastardized them.
But as we prepare for a subpoena battle over Congress obtaining the full report, it's worth noting that Mueller repeatedly laid out a rationale for Congress to access the report in its entirety. He noted that he was constrained by the standing Justice Department policy of not indicting a sitting president and that Congress can find that a president has criminally obstructed justice—and that, indeed, making that determination is its proper function in the circumstances.
