The Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee told the Supreme Court it needs the grand jury materials redacted in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report to decide whether to impeach Trump over his alleged obstruction of the Russia investigation. Douglas Letter, the Democratic committee's top lawyer, filed a 33-page motion on Monday opposing a Justice Department effort that seeks to have the nation's highest court block the release of the documents. Democrats insist they need the information quickly because the House Judiciary Committee’s “impeachment investigation related to obstruction of justice pertaining to the Russia investigation is ongoing.”

I hope the Supreme Court tells Congress they can go pound sand on this one. The legislature may have some latitude in obtaining tax records on specific tax issues up for legislation, but this is outrageous.

Maybe even the four charlatans on the SCOTUS can recognize this as harassment and a fishing expedition.

Let it go....just let it go. He will not be removed from office before November, and in November he will probably enjoy the biggest landslide victory in US history. So how about thinking of something else to do with all of the time on your hands.

Trump has had more cases before the Supreme Court than any President in history. When Trump leaves office after his second term, there will be enough cases for two semesters of Trump law.

Bull Schiff and Nadler are trying to influence the 2020 election, and need to ensure their rabid base of upper-income, white progressives who prefer Bernie, remain engaged in the election.
Notice this is coming off of the onerous "you need to vote for the $3 trillion spending bill, to know what's in it" vote that laid a brick. That Biden isn't polling well in NY, and the Democrats need to figure out how to keep the cover-up going.

Barr says there will likely be no criminal investigations of Obama or Biden over their attempted treason, so why not call it a day? Hand over the keys to the communists, throw President Trump in Gitmo for whatever crimes the Democrats can fabricate, and seize all of our assets for the greater good.

#13, is not joking. Hanging is the only thing that will stop these traitors and they really do deserve it. Any other time in the past and they would be hiding right about now.

Yeah, because the last one was such a success and it occurred before we really had a grasp on CV19. These days, another impeachment it just what the country needs. /s
Go ahead, idiots. The coming red Tsunami is going to drown all of you.

And one knows if the Dems get a hold of the information and it doesn't have what they want, they will unmask the jurors' names so 'progressives' can teach them a leasson in fascist discipline. One more reason one should never ever participate in goobernment run programs. Nothing is safe or secret.

Reading the last few Paragraphs, I get the feeling that they don't expect to be in the Majority after November! Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a hurry to get one more Impeachment under their Belt before they're back to the Minority with Republicans holding the White House, House and Senate!

Looks like from now on whenever the President is of one political party and the House of Representatives is controlled by politicians of the other political party, especially if the leftist and liberal Democrats control the House of Representatives, that future Republican Presidents are going to be constantly harassed by House committees drumming up bogus impeachment investigations and articles of impeachment. The real dangerous time for future Republican Presidents, if there are any, will be when the Democrats control both Houses of Congress because recent history shows that the Democrats are now operating in a totally extreme political realm where they will impeach and remove Republican Presidents from office if they don’t like the color of that President’s socks.

If the Court gives in on this, we are indeed doomed as a nation. GJ information is SECRET for many reasons. Those ghouls want to terrorize the witnesses who thought this was secret. So many bad precedents are being set by democrats, that our entire legal system is in danger of collapse. All the fault of DEMOCRATS.

If the President's tax returns are fair game, why wouldn't a Supreme Court Justice's be? Or adoption records, eh, Dred Pirate Roberts?

Hopefully the Supremes will remind Nadler / Schiff the it is ILLEGAL to release grand jury testimony, even for political witch hunts. Maybe Ruth Ginsburg can write the opinion.
