I am concerned about the future of our nation. It is very disturbing when the mainstream media continues to relate only half-truths when it comes to informing their viewers, and doubly so that viewers are ignorant of the law and believe them! Specifically, House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler’s (D-New York) holding of Attorney General Barr in contempt for not revealing the unredacted Mueller Report.
To begin with, Barr has made a copy of the report available with only two sentences and seven phrases redacted, in compliance with the law, and not a single Democrat has bothered to read it. Moreover, the law governing a special prosecutor has been in existence for some 20 years, enacted in the wake of President Clinton’s impeachment proceedings. The law, passed with the endorsement of the same Rep. Nadler under House, Democratic control, leaves the release of the special prosecutor’s report solely at the discretion of the attorney general. The clause was included to preclude the release of salacious information regarding then President Clinton’s embarrassing actions with Monica Lewinski, et al. Thus, Rep. Nadler is holding the attorney general in contempt for being in compliance with a law that he helped to craft and pass! This would be laughable under other circumstances, but shows the desperation of the Democrats when it comes to overturning a duly elected president just because they don’t like him.
The fact that many citizens believe tripe over truth is unsettling, and I fear does not bode well for our country, should it continue.
