House Republicans seem to have forgotten they unanimously voted to release the Mueller report

The House Judiciary Committee voted to subpoena the Mueller report on Wednesday — no thanks to Republicans who seemed to support it a few weeks ago.

The panel voted 24-17 to subpoena Attorney General William Barr for a full, unredacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian election interference and President Trump's campaign. But it didn't come without a big stink — and some improvised prop usage — from committee Republicans.

House Judiciary Chair Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) kicked off Wednesday's hearing by holding up copies of the Watergate and Starr inquiries, arguing there was a precedent for fully disclosing investigations into presidents. So Committee Ranking Member Doug Collins (R-Ga.) picked up some water bottles and made his own hard-to-follow comparison.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was up next, saying Democrats were only threatening the subpoena "because the Mueller report isn't what Democrats wanted it to be." "Have you seen [the report]? Because we haven't," Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) countered. Both of those Republicans — along with every other member of Congress, save for the four who just voted present — voted in mid-March on a nonbinding resolution to make the Mueller report public.

Nadler did say he'd give Barr "time to change his mind" and release the full report before serving him with a subpoena. If Barr refuses, it'll likely set up a lengthy court battle that dredges up a Supreme Court case from the Watergate era.
