Schumer/Pelosi issue joint statement:

“Attorney General Barr’s letter raises as many questions as it answers. The fact that Special Counsel Mueller’s report does not exonerate the president on a charge as serious as obstruction of justice demonstrates how urgent it is that...
2/“... the full report and underlying documentation be made public without any further delay. Given Mr. Barr’s public record of bias against the Special Counsel’s inquiry, he is not a neutral observer and is not in a position to make objective determinations about the report...
3/“...And most obviously, for the president to say he is completely exonerated directly contradicts the words of Mr. Mueller and is not to be taken with any degree of credibility.

“Congress requires the full report and the underlying documents so that the Committees can...

The kinds of racist rhetoric and conspiracism that are common currency among organizations like Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys are not just benignly kooky; they trace ideological threads that have driven a great deal of terrifying harassment and extreme violence.
Far-right propagandist Alex Jones disseminated conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. This resulted in the parents of children murdered by Adam Lanza receiving intense waves of harassment and threats, forcing some of them to move repeatedly.
Alex Jones was also a major vector in pushing the "PizzaGate" hoax, which culminated in a gunman firing a rifle inside a pizza shop while attempting to "investigate" the claims of the conspiracy. Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson cites Jones as the inspiration for his activism.

Interesting tidbit:

Before they were published by Infowars, Mark Judge's articles seen in this thread were first published by @cnsnews. Mark Judge is a regular contributor to the site, but Judge's bio page doesn't work now.

Any idea why, @BrentBozell?
cnsnews.com/author/mark-ju…
Does Mark Judge's role in the right wing disinformation machine raise too many questions you won't answer, @BrentBozell?

cnsnews.com/author/mark-ju…
You see Brent Bozell founded what is now @cnsnews in 1998 because he was "convinced that the Clinton White House is awash in scandals that national television networks have ignored."

Basically, there's a conspiracy to cover up the Clinton's conspiracies!
