    The new offer from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler comes after the Justice Department missed the committee’s earlier deadline for the information. Nadler narrowed his offer in a new letter to Barr on Friday, saying the committee would limit its request for underlying materials to those directly cited in the report.

    Nadler said the committee “will move to contempt proceedings and seek further legal recourse” if the department doesn’t comply.

    Barr has the goods on them, he knows it and they know it. The Dems have to act fast and try to discredit the AG.

    A number of indictments of former Obama party members will be coming soon, this is their only way to protect their people.

    Is this any different that what Holder did under Obama?

    It’s funny how the committee went from collusion of the President to now start contempt proceedings against the AG, it’s almost as if they are afraid of him or have something to hide. Make me wonder.

    There are no legal recourse’s that’s the joke. Why don’t you guys just hold him in 5 contempts? As if we are scared nebach Watch all the fake legal experts come out of the wood work with all kinds of obscure legal jargon in legal actions we can take against Barr. Funny how all of a sudden VIN is a legal forum and all the fancy lawyers like phineas and yoni and yakov doe are all so knowledgeable and such legal scholars(really on one guy with multiple names). Well let me tell you guys something nothing will happen to Barr. He has the full support from republicans. And he ain’t going nowhere. Now you guys can spew your shtusim

    I agree with mr archy …. i thought you can only hold someone in contempt if you’re subpoenaed… was he ever subpoenaed?

    Seems the AG perjured himself in front of the House.
