Mueller report will be delivered by 'mid-April, if not sooner,' attorney general tells Congress

Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report detailing his investigation of President Trump and Russia’s election interference will be delivered to Congress by mid-April, Attorney General William P. Barr said Friday in a letter to lawmakers offering important new details about how the document will be edited before its public release.

“Everyone will soon be able to read it on their own,” Barr wrote.

Barr’s new letter lays out a timeline for the next steps of the hotly-debated process by which Justice Department officials are sharing the nearly 400-page report.

In the letter, Bar said he does not plan to submit the report to the White House for review.

1. Barr had

His a** handed to him after it came out he met with Lindsey before talking to Nadler!

Keep going over the hill gang.

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. What about all the reports that the White House is already reviewing the report? Nt

[brooklynite]

3. I've seen nothing to that effect in the news.

[catbyte]

9. It's all over CNN

[Bradical79]

47. Nothing on the website that I can see

[durablend]

4. LIES!!!

Won't be able to make any sense of it with all the black sharpie marks through it.

Only thing there will probably be

"--------------------------NO------------------------------------------------------------COLLUSION-----------------"

[sheshe2]

29. Here is the copy I found...all 400 of them.

[forgotmylogin]

44. Ha ha!

The prospective redacted Mueller Report is going to look and read like House of Leaves.

[Tiggeroshii]

5. That isn't acceptable.

And congress needs to draw that line. It needs to be given to lawmakers who can review it without redactions before any more corrections are made.

[iluvtennis]

7. Agree. Gang of 8 and heads od intelligence committees should get the report As-Is

[Tiggeroshii]

11. Wouldn't a subpoena apply to this?

[lagomorph777]

13. Yes, and I expect it will be applied.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

37. Pelosi said she wouldn't take a classified briefing on it until all of Congress has it. . . . nt

[Ponietz]

14. +1

These are criminals. Treat them as such.

[machoneman]

6. Precedent! It's all about precedent.

Ken Starr's 400+ page opus on President William Jefferson Clinton was NOT given to the Clinton WH ahead of time. In fact, Starr bus loaded hundreds of copies, delivered same to the steps of the Capitol, and had the press notified in advance so they could take pictures/film of a mountain of paper. See pic below!

Result? No impeachment nor fines nor jail time...no shit!

Barr is wise to skip any WH editing but only to save his own ass if it is found later he intentionally mislead Congress. By releasing the full report save some grand jury stuff, at worst Trump could fire him after the fact yet Barr can claim he is/was innocent of any wrongdoing.

8. It'll probably look like this:

[appleannie1943]

26. The above.

[sheshe2]

30. LOL...I just posting something similar above.

[catbyte]

36. Great minds think alike.

[cstanleytech]

35. Hell it will all probably be done like that except for Muellers name at the bottom.

[LiberalFighter]

39. With any luck will miss blocking out the words is guilty.

[Maxheader]

48. That's my fear too..Would the wingers be so stupid as to

change wording around...restate phrases?

[pangaia]

10. I wouldn't trust that shit head as far as I could throw him...

[clementine613]

12. Mid-April? Just about enough time for him to completely re-write the thing.

n/t

[jmowreader]

38. Barr isn't that stupid

He does NOT want to find out what happens if Mueller utters the Six Most Dreaded Words: "That's not what the report says."

[BigmanPigman]

15. # Release The Full Report Now

[iluvtennis]

16. ++++++++ agree

[BigmanPigman]

23. So does Nadler.

They just read his response. Nadler wants the full report and by April 2nd and all documentation. He said that the Grand Jury can allow him to release all the info (it has been done before).

[sheshe2]

31. Bingo!

Thank you!

[Honeycombe8]

17. I'm very glad about that. But suspicious. He's been adamant about not producing it.

He's been adamant about doing only what the law required him to do, which was to produce his own summary. So I'm suspicious at this point, when he makes a sudden turnaround.

[standingtall]

18. Sounds like more stalling to me

looks like a tactic to trick house Democrats into not issuing a subpoena if he doesn't meet their April 2 deadline. I would guess that if Democrats do not subpoena mid April will come and go and Barr will then try to push releasing the report until May and beyond.

[iluvtennis]

19. From all we've learned about Mueller and his thoroughness and

and attention to detail, I’m sure he structured the report as main document and many attachments and appendices. All the stuff that can’t be exposed to general public is alr ady appropriately marked. Barr could release it now

[LiberalFighter]

40. I believe someone indicated that on White House Countdown.

[iluvtennis]

42. :-)

[LiberalLovinLug]

20. "Bar said he does not plan to submit the report to the White House for review"

That's because he already has.

[Hoyt]

21. I'm satisfied with that, as long as some key Congresspeople get to see entire report to

ensure everything is aboveboard.

[DirtEdonE]

22. If mueller is for real (and I seriously doubt he is)

Then he needs to hand over an unredacted complete copy of the report to congress himself.

Enough is efuckingnough. Grow a fucking pair and man up or be forever known as an accomplice to treason like kelly, mattis, and all the other former "heroes" whose reputations' trump destroyed.

[babylonsister]

24. Why do you doubt him?

He's not done a thing to make me feel that way.

Do you have any ideas what the protocol is for a special counsel in this position?

[DirtEdonE]

46. I doubt him due to the lack of indictment recommendations

And the obfuscation on refusing to recommend charges on what everyone knows was and is obstruction of justice that is still going on to this day.

In other words, for finessing and parsing the obvious instead of leveling real charges against top level administration officials like he did against their lackeys who were all just following orders from trump.

[luvallpeeps]

25. Remember when the plan was to march if the Mueller investigation was stopped?

Either way, whether they stopped Mueller, or let him finish and intercept. The results are the same. This stinks, don't make sense, and it's making me sick. So much is unclear, and I guess that's by design. Criminals. We get to pay for an investigation we don't even get to see the findings of.

[PeeJ52]

27. I don't care if I read it or not. I want our Democratic congressman and Senators with clearance...

to read it unredacted. Give the report to those with clearance now. There is no reason for Barr and Lindsey Graham to be discussing what's in it and who can see what over dinner. Release the report to Congress.

[kimbutgar]

32. What do you bet that Barr and his minions are rewriting that report?

How will we know it is the truth report? I don’t trust him for one minute. The Democrats need that report now and not in two weeks.

[iluvtennis]

33. And if that is the case, Mueller needs to break protocol and send his report to congress

[cstanleytech]

34. Wonder how much he will have censured to protect his fellow Repugnants?

[Mc Mike]

41. We'll take the report now. Also a copy of shithead's tax returns, for the last 15 years.

[crim son]

43. Barr is comfortable releasing his summation a few days after receiving it

but the rest of us have to wait weeks to read it. Hmmm.
