On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” House Judiciary Committee member Steve Cohen (D-TN) stated that he thinks Attorney General William Barr is planning to release the Mueller report while Congress isn’t in session “so we won’t be here, and it’ll be two weeks before we come back.”
Host Chris Matthews asked, “Do you see him [Barr] as a puppet?”
Cohen responded, “I definitely do.”
He added, “Something I think nobody’s thought about, the Congress adjourns on April the 10th for 19 days. We don’t come back until April 29. I think Mr. Barr knows that, and I think that’s why Mr. Barr says he’ll give us the report on April 15, so we won’t be here, and it’ll be two weeks before we come back.”
