Mueller report more than 300 pages; Dems demand full release

Special counsel Robert Mueller's Trump-Russia report is more than 300 pages long, it was revealed Thursday, sparking fresh criticism from Democrats arguing that Attorney General William Barr's four-page summary was gravely inadequate and the full findings must be quickly released.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Barr's synopsis that cleared President Donald Trump of campaign collusion with Russia and criminal obstruction of the federal probe "condescending" and "arrogant".

"Mr. Attorney General, we do not need your interpretation," Pelosi said Thursday. "Show us the report and we'll come to our own conclusions." She mocked the administration and Republicans as "scaredy-cats."
Pelosi stood by Schiff, saying she was proud of him and taunted Republicans and Trump for fearing the chairman whom she called a "patriotic leader." "What is the president afraid of, Is he afraid of the truth?" she said. "They're just scaredy-cats."
"I would hope the attorney general would not be acting as a political operative for the president," said Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., a member of the Judiciary Committee. "The Department of Justice should not be involved in a cover-up of what's actually in the report."
"The president has now an opportunity for weeks, it sounds like, to do these victory laps," said Cummings, noting that Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, is among those headed to jail as a result of the probe. "Cohen goes to jail, the president runs a victory lap."
