="towersniper, post: 1641569, member: 11290"]Sangere said:"One question. How long did Reno wait after Starr submitted his report to provide it to Congress? I ask because I don't think the short period of time that Barr has had Mueller's report without submitting it to congress is particularly worrisome. Maybe precedent will prove me wrong.
Now that I've had some exercise, and exorcised my spelling demons (through aggressive use of the "edit" button) , I looked it up:
"On Sept. 9, 1998, Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr presented a long-awaited report concerning his investigation of President Bill Clinton to the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. Two days later, on the afternoon of September 11—a decade ago today—the committee released the entire report on the Internet."
Remember, though, that the Starr Report went directly to Congress, and Reno did not review it before presentation to Congress - different statutory context. My comments about Reno were merely intended to show what WOULD constitute a parallel situation, and hypocrisy by Nadler, which was the point of this part of the meandering thread. I don't have a problem with some delay, so long as the entire report goes to the appropriate committees, even if not the full Congress. I also don't like it when someone is accused wrongly of hypocrisy, as Nadler has been. I know almost nothing about Nadler, but he is being unfairly attacked here.
