The House Judiciary Committee is preparing to petition a federal judge to release former special counsel Robert Mueller’s most closely guarded evidence: the material he gathered using a secretive grand jury.
The petition, which will be made to Beryl Howell, the chief judge of Washington, D.C.’s federal district court, asks that the material be provided to Congress, though it does not seek the public release of the grand jury evidence. House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler has sought Mueller’s grand jury evidence for months, arguing that it’s essential for Congress to view it in order to fully investigate potential abuses of power by President Donald Trump and his inner circle.

I think (and hope) that grand jury records are like the confessional - sealed. We'll see.

At times, I almost wish there really was a 'vicious' conservative that the 4 twits of color keep telling us is out there, putting democrats in danger.

Leftists and their lawless society. People better wake up and know what they're getting with these clowns and know that they plan to take this great nation to total sh$thole status. All so they can have power. They know they're too incompetent to make or keep it great; they can only rule over garbage, because deep inside they know that's what they are; garbage. I'm being as serious as a heart attack.

Nutty Nadler and his trusty sidekick Shifty Schiff continue their never ending campaign to erode the judicial system and the rights of the innocent.
The precedent of innocent until proven guilty has been attacked in an attempt to make it guilty until exonerated.
The political process of impeachment is devoid of a judge, rules of evidence, a discovery process, etc., yet Nadler wants it to be redefined as being a preliminary judicial proceeding which has all of those elements, He is doing so in an attempt to force release of secret grand jury information collected without an attorney present or clear charges being in place.
Democrats are a threat to the American judicial system and should be stopped in their tracks. They are free to call their own witnesses and conduct their own inquiries within the current law; they are not free to change current law to suit their political goals.
Nadler should be impeached.

FTA:
A spokeswoman for committee Republicans disagreed.
“The House is either formally in impeachment proceedings, which involve both an impeachment inquiry and consideration of articles of impeachment, or we are not. It’s a binary issue,” the spokeswoman, Jessica Andrews, said.
Lawyers for the committee conceded Friday that the last two serious impeachment efforts against presidents did involve House floor resolutions at some point, but noted that many other impeachments of lower-level officials like judges have been thoroughly investigated by the Judiciary Committee before any floor action took place.
Read that last paragraph again. Impeachment of lower level officials like judges could be investigated before their impeachment had been formally begun, so the President of the United States….

Release Grand Jury records that would expose testimony from individuals regarding others for whom no indictment handed down or even sought?
Grant this petition and the USA will have become the banana republics and authoritarian dictatorships the Left says it already is.

Notice that the leftist and liberal Democrats are addressing their court petition specifically to a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama?

If granted, will it set a precedent the democrats may regret in the future?

All of this lying and madness is the fault of President Trump. For it was Trump who selected Jeff Sessions as AG and who allowed Sessions, in his 2nd day as AG to recuse himself from all things Obama and Hillary. Sessions ridiculous recusal, in turn, made the signer of the 4th perjurious FISA warrant request, Rod Rosenstein the actual AG when it came to investigating the corrupt acts of Obama, Hilllary, Comey and himself. As if Rosenstein would pursue charges against himself. And it was a Rosenstein who appointed the befuddled Mueller to be SC and who allowed 14 Hillary zealots from the DoJ to be lawyers for the SC. And, it was Rosenstein who gave Mueller his instructions on who to investigate and who NOT to investigate. Instructions that have still not be made public but surely avoid mentioning the Dossier, Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele or Hillary’s payments for the Russian produced Dossier.
As the result of Rosenstein’s actions and Sessions recusal, we have had to watch the Dems and their media slaves attack Trump unmercifully every day. If Hillary, Comey and McCabe, for example, had been indicted in 2017 for the serious crimes they committed, there would never have been a Mueller report or talk of impeachment. Unfortunately for all of us, Trump allowed a political vacuum to be filled by the Nadlers and Shiffs who besmirch our country.

Hey fatso, you do realize Mueller’s team of high- powered lawyers are all Trump haters just like you are, right? If they had something they would have brought it out. Jerez, just stupid are you. You’re a caricature.

Nadler has turned himself into a fat and ugly version of Wile E. Coyote - you know, the cartoon character that always dreamed up complex schemes to catch the Roadrunner, but whose schemes backfired EVERY TIME.

Leftists accept the notion that many of the ignorant and willful will have to be 'tricked' into becoming harmonious with the 'greater common good' and all that it implies.
Deception, like murder, is only hard at first.....after a few dozen it's no big deal.
Deception is part and parcel of the Leftist gambit.
Once deception (tacqieya) has been reduced from a mortal sin to a tool of the trade then stuffing the media with taurine excrement can be pursued with massive front loaders......steam shovels......dredge loaders.
The persuadable s are too effing stooopid to notice ?
We shall see.

Every time I see Nadler on TV it makes me sick. What a Little Toad! Even Adam Schiff has given up on the Impeachment Search. Nadler has no right to the Grand Jury evidence. He also will demand Trump Taxes. He has no right to Them either. Why doesn't Trump ask to see Nadler's Taxes? While he's at it, look up a few more of the Slimy Democrat's taxes who are always yapping away for Trump's private information. I'm SO tired of these Yapping Dogs!

If you want to read an excellent article as to exactly why these GJ documents will not see the light of day as long as president Trump is in office and a Republican Appointee is Attorney General, read this:
https://www.johntfloyd.com/judges-authority-to-release-grand-jury-testimony-restricted/
This opinion is well thought out and blends both the legal and the political ramifications involved in this fiasco. There are three judges on this panel who will have to make the decision as to the release of the documents- two of those judges are Republican appointees, known for their dedication against all things Democrat. The other is an Obama appointee, who would very quickly surrender anything to any Democrat request. Thank God for these two Republicans on the panel. The writer of this article is a fair minded but shameless Democrat/liberal (as if "fair mined" and "liberal" were possible to be contained in one body). So, the article carries some extra gravity.

If it is given to the house anti judiciary committee it will be secret for about 5 minutes. Just long enough for it to be transmitted to WAPO, NYT, CNN... That committee has more leaks than the flex seal guy.
