JUDICIARY: Lessons from the Mueller Report, Part III: “Constitutional Processes for Addressing Presidential Misconduct”

Judiciary is trying to find out why Mueller was appointed as Special Counsel.

This is fun!

Hank Johnson was in rare form, like he was when he used to sit on the bench back in the days and it was truly enjoyable because he had the witnesses squirming in their seats.

The committee could find out why Mueller was appointed if they would just #sayhisname or read my blog, but hey, what do I know?

I know Mueller, not (mule-er) is scheduled to testify before House Judiciary July 17, 2019, right before the 2020 Democratic Presidential Detroit Campaign kicks off, right after the NAACP event.



How come the Members are harping on the importance of the press being used, like they did in Nixon, to impeach when they refuse to mention the Smith-Mundt Act?

According to Wikipedia:

The U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 (Public Law 80-402), popularly called the Smith–Mundt Act, is the basic legislative authorization for propaganda activities conducted by the U.S. Department of State, sometimes called "public diplomacy". The act was first introduced by Congressman Karl E. Mundt (R-SD) in January 1945 in the 79th Congress. It was subsequently passed by the 80th Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman on January 27, 1948.

U.S. Repeals Propaganda Ban, Spreads Government-Made News to Americans


For decades, a so-called anti-propaganda law prevented the U.S. government's mammoth broadcasting arm from delivering programming to American audiences.

How come only a handful of congressional members never went to the Rayburn Building and read the redacted report?

Justin Amash did.
