So Nancy and "Fat Bastard" Nadler are now saying we are in a "constitutional crisis" with the White House......
How about a few "facts" to clear this up.
https://www.conservativereview.com/news/facts-pelosis-nadlers-called-constitutional-crisis-mueller-report/
Here are the facts:
* Attorney General Barr released a redacted version of a confidential report on the Mueller report, which he was under no statutory obligation to do.
* Nadler subpoenaed the full, unredacted Mueller report and its underlying evidence from the Department of Justice.
* The Department has objected to this, saying that the requested materials contain grand jury information that is protected by section 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
* That section of the rules says that grand jury information cannot be made public without a court order, which has not been issued.
*Despite all this, the DOJ has allowed a dozen members of Congress to come and view a less-redacted version in a secure location at the Department.
* None of the six permitted Democrats have come forward so far to take advantage of that offer.
*The Department of Justice has reiterated its invitation for Nadler to come view the less-redacted report and work out a compromise in compliance with federal rules.
*House/DOJ talks fell apart, and House Democrats scheduled contempt proceedings against Barr.
*In response to the contempt proceedings, the White House invoked executive privilege over the contested portions of the Mueller report.
