Emmet Flood is a communist like his boss. It is a shame how Republicans scandalize every aspect of the US Constitution in order to raise a fuss. Trump has to submit to Congressional oversight.

No wonder the US House won Clinton's impeachment, he had a communist that can't read as a lawyer.

The only reason Trump wants to invoke Executive Privilege after cooperating with the Special Council is that he had reasonable control of the outcome with his Attorney General, ie: Barr.

Now, because the US House is FINALLY conducting oversight after two years of Republican neglect, Trump is scared of the fact the US House has power over him. So, now he is playing with the USA Constitution again hoping his boy, Kavanaugh will pull a rabbit out of his hat.

Maybe Flood doesn't understand the US House is a branch of the legislature and represents the USA people. Far different than the Special Council that is a branch of the Executive Branch. In the Executive Branch the DOJ can pull strings from within it's authority to cover up the wrong doing of the Trump administraiton.

The people represented by the US House have a right to oversight, including receiving the report of the Special Council AS PRESCRIBED by the law that formed the Special Council. Even Former Director Mueller, in his letter to Barr, recognized the Special Council law AND the right of the people to read the report. 

Just because Trump is a communist with his best friend in Moscow and he wants to manipulate the USA Constitution at every turn to suit his agenda doesn't mean it is lawful. Trump's obstruction, as in this case, has no standing at all.

Emmet Flood, (click here) the veteran D.C. lawyer replacing Ty Cobb on President Donald Trump's legal team, is no stranger to highly publicized legal bouts involving the White House.

Flood, a current partner at the firm Williams & Connolly, has represented several top government officials in different administrations, including former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton and former Vice President Dick Cheney.


He most notably represented Clinton during the impeachment proceedings brought against the former president by the House of Representatives and tried before the Senate.

During Bush's second term, Flood served for two years as the lead lawyer for the White House's counsel office in handling inquiries from congressional investigators....

On page 9 of the report the law is clearly stated.

28 C.F.R. § 600.8(c) (click here)

The law quoted in the Mueller letter to Bar dated March 27, 2019 (click here) 
is 28 C.F.R. 209(c) (click here).

(c) The Attorney General may determine that public release of these reports would be in the public interest, to the extent that release would comply with applicable legal restrictions. All other releases of information by any Department of Justice employee, including the Special Counsel and staff, concerning matters handled by Special Counsels shall be governed by the generally applicable Departmental guidelines concerning public comment with respect to any criminal investigation, and relevant law.

In his letter to Barr, the Former Director Mueller clearly states the public needs the release of the report. In other words, it is in the best interest of the public discourse regarding their country if the public had access to the document. In lieu of the document, the Former Director stated at least release the executive summaries which the Former Director supplied to Barr with appropriate redactions. 

It is understood that the current AG likes to redact more than the Former Director of the FBI. I trust Mueller. He doesn't lie. We know he is a loyal American.

The fact of the matter is CLEAR. The US House, which has the powers of impeachment within THEIR AUTHORITY has a RIGHT to the Special Council report unredacted and all the supporting EVIDENCE.

The pleadings to the Supreme Court is inappropriate and yet again another obstruction of justice.
