Rep. Ted Lieu was on CNN last night where he said since the Trump administration brought a “flamethrower to a knife fight” and won’t release a fully redacted Mueller report, Dems have no choice but to do the same and bring a flamethrower of their own:
"The Trump administration is hiding information from the American people and stonewalling Congress at every turn," says Rep. Ted Lieu. "If they're going to bring a flamethrower to this knife fight, then in my view we have to do the same. We have to fight fire with fire." pic.twitter.com/xfkGXSgS5b

This “burn it all!” strategy earned Lieu the Michael Avenatti seal of approval:

Who wants to tell them AG Barr can’t release the whole report that they want to burn down the Constitution over?
#CNN helping agitate about an invented beef#Barr cannot legally release the whole #Mueller report
Dems who want to read it can do so in a secure area
The entire thing is lame political theater https://t.co/VtvqNy1ete

And as we told you last night, Dem leadership doesn’t sound like they’re ready to take up Lieu’s plan:
