CONGRESS: RELEASE MUELLER REPORT

This Tuesday, Democrats put the brakes on Attorney General nominee Barr’s confirmation hearings, calling for more investigation into Barr’s (lack of) commitment to release Mueller’s report. There are bipartisan concerns about Barr: 

  • Chairman Lindsay Graham promised to explore more fully how much nominee William Barr can and will keep the findings secret.  
  • Republican Senator Charles Grassley introduced a bill with Democrat Richard Blumenthal requiring that Mueller (not the Attorney General) write the reports to Congress and the public, even if he is fired or resigns.   
  • The top three House Republicans —Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, and Liz Cheney —said they would support the public release of a Mueller-produced report rather than accept a report written by Barr. 

Oregon’s Senators were clear: Wyden vowed to lead in the Senate to make the report public.  Merkley demanded that the Congress must see the report in its entirety. But none of Oregon’s House Members have made public statements.   

We believe that Mueller’s report must be released to the public with only sources and methods redacted. Let’s ask our entire delegation to go on record defending our need to know what Mueller found.  

ACTION ONE: CALL YOUR SENATORS

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR WYDEN AND MERKLEY:

(Leave a message if you can’t get through)

SAMPLE SCRIPT for WYDEN: “My name is [–] and I live in [zip code]. I am calling to thank Sen. Wyden for promising to lead a floor fight if Special Counsel Mueller’s report is not released to Congress and the public.  I ask the Senator to 1) vote against William Barr’s confirmation as Attorney General unless he commits to releasing the Mueller report to the public with no redactions beyond sources and methods, and 2) work to pass legislation to make sure the Mueller report is released to the public. Thank you.” 

 

SAMPLE SCRIPT for MERKLEY: “My name is [–] and I live in [zip code]. I am calling to thank Sen. Merkley for insisting that the Mueller report be released to Congress “unfiltered.”  But I also want the public to receive a full report and ask the Senator to go further by 1) voting against William Barr’s confirmation as Attorney General unless he commits to releasing the Mueller report to the public with no redactions beyond sources and methods, and 2) working to pass legislation to make sure the Mueller report is released to the public. Thank you.”
