WASHINGTON - The U.S. House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday unanimously approved a resolution directing the Justice Department to give Congress all records on FBI obstruction of justice or counterintelligence probes against President Donald Trump.
Full House approval would give Barr 14 days to comply with the demand for all records and communications concerning FBI investigations of Trump, as well any discussions within the Justice Department about secretly recording the president or seeking to replace him by invoking the 25th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That amendment provides the procedures for replacing the president or vice president in the event of death, removal, resignation, or incapacitation.
That effort was later superseded by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who concluded his investigation into possible Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election last week. According to Barr's summary, Mueller found no evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia but also did not exonerate the president on the question of obstruction.
"The Democrats may think there's something that will help them in the pursuit of trying to take out Trump. But to me, it may well prove to be evidence of treason at the Justice Department, trying to take out a president," said Representative Louie Gohmert, a committee Republican.
Now the threats against the FBI plot begin. Can anyone shut his freaking mouth?
