Nadler just said the administration will NOT comply with his demands to get the full Mueller report; says negotiations will go on for 1-2 days before next steps. Then he says they will move to hold Barr in contempt if he doesn’t comply. “He’s trying to blackmail the committee.”

1. Cut DOJ funding. Toot sweet.

Use 'all those tools'. Let's go!

3. that's legislative. there is no functioning legislature.

they cannot cut funding to this or that through a house vote. they need the senate and huge majorities to override Asshole.

all that will pass this congress are continuing resolutions, at the last minute or during shutdowns, with both sides taking a hit for it.

trump is dismantling the government piece by piece.

4. Why did the Congresspeople say to do it then?

They said it was one of their "tools" now for a few weeks. Not sure which one. It all gloms together. trump cant do anything by himself. The gop is complicit. Maybe HRC needs to force her way into the Wh and claim it as her own? A few million people behind her. Enough of this horse crap.

5. hmm... maybe I don't understand it then.

their toolkit is limited, however. that's why Trump/Barr are bullying/stalling.

6. Maybe I dont either. Sure shows the flaws in our system dang it.

Wish someone would go bold about it and rally the 2/3rds plus of us. It's time.
