Mueller's report could be out within a week, Barr says during hearing

[brooklynite]

Source: Roll Call

Attorney General William Barr told lawmakers Tuesday that he will be in a position to release a version of the special counsel report “within a week,” with color-coded notes explaining why he redacted any information.

Barr, before an appropriations subcommittee, reiterated that he would withhold information from the report such as grand jury material or information that could reveal counterintelligence methods or interfere with ongoing prosecutions.

“I think from my standpoint, within a week, I will be in a position to release the report with the public,” Barr said. “And then I will engage with the chairman of both judiciary committees about that report and any further requests that they have.”

But he closed off much further discussion about the report, telling House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita M. Lowey, D-N.Y., that he was “not going to discuss it any further until the report is out.”

1. I'm not going to discuss it any further etc. ... how arrogant can one be to Congress? NT

[William Seger]

7. Arrogant enough to think it's up to him to decide if Trump is impeachable

... and that Congress will only get the public version.

[DownriverDem]

14. In a week?

The House will be on a break. I hate trump and the repubs.

[Botany]

2. It will not be the Mueller Report but Bill Barr's cover up.

It is not up to Barr to let Americans see the report they paid for.

4. Color coded notes.. ya mean like we used to do in 2nd grade...

“I think from my standpoint, within a week, I will be in a position to release the report with(sic) the public,”

“not going to discuss it any further until the report is out.”

Barr, before an appropriations subcommittee, reiterated that he would withhold information from the report such as grand jury material or information that could reveal counterintelligence methods or interfere with ongoing prosecutions.

SOMEBODY trustworthy MUST see this information....

This guy is one sleezy, slippery snake....

5. A version?

[jalan48]

6. Are we still hoping Mueller will somehow save us after Barr's redacted version is released?

[watoos]

8. Congress won't even get to see Mueller's summaries let alone the public.

[watoos]

9. Speaker Pelosi needs to bring impeachment back on the table,

even if it's just for a bargaining chip.

10. WRONG

The Barr report on the Mueller report will be released. Only the unredacted report is the Mueller report. Everything else is the Barr report. Indeed, Barr has said that information about people like Individual 1, Don Jr., etc. will be redacted because they have not been charged. He also refused to get a court order to reveal Grand Jury material, which is done routinely in cases such as this. This report will be a shell of what it should be. Indeed, it reminds me of Nixon releasing edited transcripts of his tape recordings. That was not accepted and neither should the Barr report be accepted. Congress needs the full Mueller report unredacted and only the part that would reveal sources and methods should be redacted and made public.

Framing is vital and the framing here stinks. What is being released in roughly a week is clearly the Barr report so start getting it right.

12. The Barr Report. Also, the Barr Coverup.

The latter, the Barr Coverup, was suggested on DU a few weeks ago.

I prefer it, but either one will do.

[forgotmylogin]

13. I have no problem with the *public* version having necessary redactions.

It's CONGRESS who is entitled to see the full unredacted report full-stop end-of-sentence period.

[DallasNE]

17. Yes

I did allow for redaction on the public copy for sources and methods, which means the counterintelligence stuff. That would be the juicy stuff involving money laundering and the wiretap stuff involving the Russians.

[Corgigal]

11. Could be..

but he's lying. Why do we taxpayers have to pay him? If he wants to jump on the Trump grenade, then let him do it with his own income.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. The check is in the mail.

[ffr]

16. Release it now. Not within a week. NOW! DO IT NOW. TODAY!

Fuck your fucking delay tactics, because we know when the report is released it'll be redacted or have some other bullshit qualifications that'll make it incomplete.

This is bullshit!

[ut oh]

18. and it will probably look like this

The [redacted] [redacted] [redacted]. A [redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted] is [redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted][redacted].

[ancianita]

19. This is still Barr's report of Mueller's report. We paid for the Mueller report and want it all. nt

[Kablooie]

20. Most of the notes will actually be "Trump told me to redact it."

It will have all the redactions Trump wants I'm sure.
