Trump on Mueller report vote: I encouraged Republicans to ‘vote for transparency’

 

President Trump said he encouraged Republicans to “vote for transparency” after the House unanimously voted on Thursday for the Justice Department to publicly release special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on his Russia investigation. “On the recent non-binding vote (420-0) in Congress about releasing the Mueller Report, I told leadership to let all Republicans vote for transparency,” Trump tweeted Saturday morning. “Makes us all look good and doesn’t matter. Play along with the game!”

 

The resolution was introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler of New York, who said there is “overwhelming public interest” to see the report. It would direct the Justice Department to disclose the entire report to Congress and also with the public, except if there is any portion “thereof is expressly prohibited by law.” Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, must share a confidential report with Attorney General William Barr after the investigation concludes and outline why he chose to either bring charges or not prosecute any matters during the probe. Barr has said he intends to send a summary of Mueller’s findings to Congress, though he is not required to share the report with lawmakers.

 

“This resolution is also needed because high-ranking DOJ officials have indicated that they may not release — that they may not release information about individuals who are not indicted,” Nadler said on the House floor. Republican Reps. Paul Gosar of Arizona, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, and Justin Amash of Michigan voted present on the resolution.

 

Meanwhile, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., blocked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s request for unanimous consent for the resolution on Friday. Graham’s decision came because Schumer was unwilling to amend a provision in the House’s resolution to require the Justice Department employ a special counsel to investigate misconduct at the agency regarding the investigation looking at Hillary Clinton’s use of an unauthorized email server.

Walls Across America: Rob Reiner Edition

 

Long-time actor and director Rob Reiner is one of many Hollywood celebrities to have frequently expressed disdain for President Donald Trump, particularly when it comes to his border policies. However, Reiner’s stated opposition to Trump’s border policies hasn’t stopped the “All in the Family” star from implementing a barrier to protect his own home. So reporters from The Daily Caller paid a visit to Los Angeles to check out Reiner’s massive wall.

Hillary Clinton's Arkansas law license reinstated

 

Hillary Clinton's Arkansas law license has been reinstated after 17 years of suspension. No word as yet on the significance of that. A recent routine notice of reinstatements and suspensions by the Arkansas Continuing Legal Education Board said Clinton was one of several lawyers reinstated by the board at a meeting March 4 after payment of a reinstatement fee. Another familiar name on the list was that of Rodney Slater, Transportation secretary during the Clinton administration. He was reinstated March 5.

 

Clinton's license was suspended in March 2002 for failure to complete continuing education requirements. Having been admitted to the bar more than 40 years ago (she was admitted to the Arkansas bar in October 1973) and also being older than 70, she's no longer required under Arkansas rules to meet CLE requirements. Clinton was a partner in the Rose Law Firm when Bill Clinton ran for president. She's stayed busy since, but not as a practicing lawyer. Her last appearance of record in an Arkansas court was in May 1992, a civil case before the Arkansas Court of Appeals.

 

Bill Clinton's law license was suspended for five years in 2001 as an agreed settlement of disciplinary action over his misleading testimony about Monica Lewinsky in depositions taken in a lawsuit against him by Paula Jones. He has not sought reinstatement. I've directed a question about the reinstatement to a Clinton spokesman, but have received no response. She's been quoted recently as saying she has no plans to run for president again in 2020.
