Democraps should be careful what they ask for, they won’t hold the house forever.
In fact it is my opinion that they lose it in 2020.

““The Attorney General also voluntarily released the Special Counsel’s confidential report with minimal redactions to Congress and the public, made an even-less redacted report available to Chairman Nadler and congressional leadership (which they have refused to review)...

...Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd, in the letter to Nadler on Wednesday, said the less-redacted version already available to key members “would permit review of 98.5 percent of the report, including 99.9 percent of Volume II, which discusses the investigation of the President’s actions.”

Thank you. As the more informed know Barr said he would not provide an unredacted copy since certain material is restricted by law from being released.

Barr had asked Mueller to mark these sections but Mueller did not which resulted in a delay getting the report to Congress and the public.

I see Reuters is once again demonstrating their total corruption as a mouthpiece for the Left instead of attempting to be the valid "news service" they claim to be.

NOT ONE SINGLE TIME do they mention why Barr withdrew his offer to testify, namely that the Democrats on the House panel refused to question Barr directly, which is what he originally offered to do. (And I see Reuters also doesn't mention that either - that it was his idea and his offer to go testify, rather a demand from them that he come).

“..and can’t they SEE the unredacted copy just by taking a short walk to the doj?”

I think you meant ‘can see’ but the truth is they ‘can’t see’ the unredacted report.

HOWEVER, it will be in a controlled room, you won't be able to photocopy it, take pictures of it, or bring in your superlawyers to dissect it .

Will they confiscate the Demoncrats' socks before they let them in?

I thought there was a complete copy of the report available to Congresscritters but no Dems have bothered to read it.

There is, but the invitation to read was only extended to these 12 critters: Collins, Graham, McConnell, Pelosi, McCarthy, Schumer, Nadler, Feinstein, Schiff, Nunes, Burr and Warner.

They can view it at the DOJ or at a secure reading room on Capitol Hill. They can bring one staff member and may take notes, but the notes stay with the DOJ until in camera review sessions.

No one but Graham and Collins have read it. McConnell has said he will read it.

Redacted copy.

Only the GJ material has been redacted.

If you have better information, share it. Otherwise you’re just wasting everyone’s time.

Lighten up, Francis.

The invitation to read was only extended to these 12 critters: Collins, Graham, McConnell, Pelosi, McCarthy, Schumer, Nadler, Feinstein, Schiff, Nunes, Burr and Warner. They can view it at the DOJ or at a secure reading room on Capitol Hill. They can bring one staff member and may take notes, but the notes stay with the DOJ until in camera review sessions.

The report has only the GJ stuff redacted because by law, it can't be released to the public.

All six of the rats are boycotting because they want a full unredacted copy, including the GJ material.

Isn’t it illegal for him to “provide” an unredacted copy..and can’t they SEE the unredacted copy just by taking a short walk to the doj? Another way that the “news” slants things.

Only illegal to publicly release GJ material. Other redacted stuff is ongoing investigations and national security stuff.

They seem to forget that Barr can easily make the case that they are abusing their authority to pursue him and Trump for political reasons, and have them arrested for civil rights violations.

The same is true for the New York AG.

I have yet to confirm that...

Treatable?

Open to debate!

I really hope that everyone involved in investigating all of this have really good security. It makes me really afraid for all of them. There are some strong evil forces out there right now.
