Judiciary Democrats announce series of hearings on Mueller report
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee on Monday announced a series of hearings on special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation in order to further examine President Trump's conduct as well as election interference by Moscow.
Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) announced the next hearing, titled "Lessons from the Mueller Report: Presidential Obstruction and Other Crimes," on June 10 as a way to push forward with the committee's sprawling oversight investigation into the Trump administration amid stonewalling from the White House.
While the White House continues to cover up and stonewall, and to prevent the American people from knowing the truth, we will continue to move forward with our investigation," Nadler said in a statement.
"These hearings will allow us to examine the findings laid out in Mueller's report so that we can work to protect the rule of law and protect future elections through consideration of legislative and other remedies," Nadler added.
Former White House Counsel John Dean as well as former U.S. attorneys and legal experts are slated to testify at the hearing next week.
Dean will be the first in a series of witnesses, according to Nadler.
"Given the threat posed by the President's alleged misconduct, our first hearing will focus on President Trump's most overt acts of obstruction. In the coming weeks, other hearings will focus on other important aspects of the Mueller report," Nadler said in his statement, adding that Mueller "has now left Congress to pick up where he left off."

I have read all over DU that Democrats aren't doing a thing.
Oh and I read that we need to be informed daily about their closed door meetings. Seriously? Guess we should just take out a full page ad every day so our enemies, the trumpie cartel, will know every step we are making and block it. 
Thank you, mcar!
So we have the constant Dems do nothing complaints, then when they do something, it's ho hum, who cares. 
for the American people are a good place to start.
There are probably a lot of folks who don't know Dean's backstory and assume that he's merely another pundit.
I don't know why anyone would expect Rachel Maddow to testify. She is neither a legal expert nor was she the chief witness in a previous impeachment inquiry.
Maybe the first step will be to remind Americans what "normal" used to look look like.
