Fox News: House Votes 420-0 To Demand Public Release of Mueller Report
RUSH EXCERPT:
SPUNT: "That vote in Congress as a nonbinding resolution. But, a message Congress’ bipartisan Congress wants the report to be made public. This week was busy for special counsel Robert Mueller and his Paul Manafort was sentenced to seven and half years behind bars. Roger Stone’s trial date is on the books for November. Manafort deputy, Rick Gates continues to cooperate with authorities. We are learning through new court documents that the late senator John McCain of Arizona, made public in unverified dossier that alleged Russia had compromising rough information on President Trump, known as the steel dossier. Former senator John McCain denied being the source for a BuzzFeed article after it was published on the Internet. We are learning that McCain did provide part of that dossier, specifically the first 33 pages back in 2016, the end of 2016. Meanwhile, Paul Manafort’s is in jail this afternoon. If the president were to pardon Paul Manafort he’s not out of the woods. Earlier this week, Manhattan district attorney filed a 16 count indictment against him mirroring federal charges in Virginia. President Trump would not have authority to get him out of those state charges if he’s found guilty there. No word specifically on when the Mueller report will be released. When it does get released it will first go to the attorney general, bill Barr. Certainly Congress wanted to pay made public. For 20 - zero. Arthel: David, thank you. Eric: The house resolution went to the Senate and then it hit the wall called Lindsay graham. The German committee wants the attorney general to appoint a special counsel to investigate allegations of misconduct over the way it handled Hillary Clinton’s e-mails. A former special assistant to the attorney general joins us now. John, first on the Mueller report. 420 - zero. Can’t get much stronger than that. Do you think the attorney general will weigh any of that with whether he decides what to release or not to release in terms of the full report?
