could be hiding.
could be taking his ball and going home.
it doesn't appear to be an effort at transparency, but it's also something he could have done from the get go and then the scream for fix and cover up would be much louder (and more warranted)
he claims to be a negotiator, so for now

things which don't belong in the public like private information of the good folks who were investigated but not indicted or charged with crimes because they are innocent of breaking the law.
I don't think Mueller held back on Trump dirt. I don't think that's unreasonable to think that way either. I don't think you do either. I'd say you're well aware that Mueller opened the floodgates on Trump's previous bad behavior, misdeeds and everything and anything which would embarrass him.
I believe Nadler and the other dems in the house who qualify to view unredacted reports feel the same way or they would read the report which is there in their building right now. So far only three have read that report, Graham, McConnel and one more pub.
I believe you are all playing politics and not being completely honest.

You don't expect Barr to break the laws of what can be released and what can't. These laws are extensive because dems put them in place after the Clinton impeachment. You know this, why are you acting like you don't?

If the SC ruled in favor of the NYT re: the Pentagon Papers, no way they would block this. Though it may take awhile to get there.

I doubt there is anything in there that would call for impeachment really either. I think Donald's quest for Obama's birth certificate taught him that fighting off these kind of accusations even when you could clear them up pretty quickly is good for getting things done on other fronts and solidifying your base.

They can but they can't share it with the public.

Barr even approved of them taking notes on the report in private readings. If this was something they intend to use for more than political hay they'd be satisfied to have everyone on the oversight committee read it and have closed door hearings to deliberate on impeachment. As hard as politics are these days most pubs in the house supported Mueller's investigation and would support the impeachment of Barr the report reveals that Mueller, Rosenstein and Barr intentionally redacted information which wasn't required by law and protocol to be redacted.
Dem's intent is to breath life in a dead investigation. They have no message other than 'Beat Trump,' for 2020 so they fill the air with such tripe to distract their supporters. That's what you do when you can't win office on merit or message.
Dems when straight to shutting this down. They offered Barr a choice, either break the law by releasing the unredacted report or face the wrath of the House of Reps. I would have asked him to join with me to appeal to the courts to change the law regarding what must be redacted. They want executive privilege invoked for political reasons.
Dem voters should be real proud of them not giving this proper attention by appealing to courts. Right now there's no way the unredacted report can be viewed or shared by the public. That isn't an accident.

you keep saying it, but how many ex federal prosecutors are there? 1000? 10,000? 100,000?
What kind of ratio are we talking here?
And did they just ask prosecutors who were appointed by democrat presidents?
your survey is tainted.......butt keep preaching it!
9 out of Dentists AGREE!!!

Tainted. Sure. You haven't read the petition or you would already know that a.) The Federal Prosecutors are both Dem and Rep. and go all the way back to serving in the Eisenhower Administration. b.) The idea that career lawyers will chuck they're own reputations built over decades just be cause they're "Democrat" is naive to the point of ignorance.
Get over it.

if he wasn't president he would be indicted?
If that's true, then why is it so relevant to you? He is president. He can't be indicted. Mueller can't impeach. If the congress wants to read the documents and then move to impeach him, then they should do so. Find specific instances of redactions that are ######## or specific evidence that supports impeachment and then start making the case for how many you found.
Stop fighting small battles for fear of fighting the war.

No, that sounds about right. The President blocks information from investigation of....him.
If it were Obama or Hillary you'd be having a fit.

On June 20, 2012, President Barack Obama asserted executive privilege in order to withhold certain Department of Justice documents related to the Operation Fast and Furious controversy ahead of a United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for refusing to produce the documents.[27][28]
Later the same day, the House Committee voted 23–17 along party lines to hold Holder in contempt of Congress over not releasing the documents.[29]

Kind of stupid of Trump, but what else is new?
May 8, 2019, 5:17 PM

Still not as stupid as the ruckus Democrats are making over redactions and Barr's interpretation of the Mueller report.
Mueller has already said that Barr's summary was accurate on the facts, and then nearly all of the report was released publicly. Do Democrats really think that there's going to be evidence of illegality in the redacted portions, or do they just think that some of what was redacted will be damaging to Trump? Isn't the actual report damaging enough? Why wouldn't Mueller have recommended charges, and why wouldn't Barr have made charges if there was evidence of criminality?
