House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff that he would subpoena Robert Mueller if Trump tries to bury the Russia report.
Transcript via ABC’s This Week:
STEPHANOPOULOS: You — you say — you say the Justice Department’s going to have to live by that precedent, but what if they don’t? What if they say no, we’re not going to release the underlying evidence. What options do you have.
SCHIFF: Well we will obviously subpoena the report, we will bring Bob Mueller in to testify before Congress, we will take it to court if necessary. And in the end, I think the department understands they’re going to have to make this public. I think Barr will ultimately understand that as well. Barr comes into this job with two strikes against him. He applied for the job by be demonstrating a bias against the Mueller investigation. Indeed that’s part of the reason he was hired. He’s also not been willing to commit to following the advice of the ethics lawyers. Indeed that was part of the reason he was hired.

Trump is playing corrupt Candyland while Rep. Schiff is playing chess. None of Trump‘s moves is a surprise to Democrats in Congress. Trump has always been about saving his own skin. The president will do whatever it takes to save himself from ruin and or prison. Trump‘s biggest problem is that Adam Schiff is already ahead of him.
The administration will try to bury the Mueller report, but Democrats will subpoena, and then sue. If Trump drags his feet, Democrats will subpoena Robert Mueller to testify.
Donald Trump would be better off releasing the report, but he is not going to do that. Trump is going to try to fight, and he is going to lose because Adam Schiff will not stop until the American people have the facts about the president and Russia.
