Mitch McConnell stonewalls the release of the Mueller Report for the second time


In a bipartisan effort, the House voted unanimously to release the Mueller Report, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked it -- twice. Prior to the conclusion of the probe a resolution for the release of its findings passed in the House by 420-0 in a resolution sponsored by Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) tried to pass the resolution on Monday, but McConnell blocked it again. Democrats have argued for the release of the report due to "overwhelming public interest." Republicans have talked about wanting to transparent in this matter, yet their top GOP leader like Lindsey Graham and McConnell are hindering disclosure of the 700 page Mueller Report. The resolution requested that the Justice Department release the full report to Congress and the portions that can be released by law to the public. The country languishes in not knowing what's in that report after two years of waiting. Especially when AG Barr's summary assessment was only 4 pages long everyone wants to know what (if anything) are they hiding?
