A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Monday pressed Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers on why the public shouldnt be allowed to see redacted portions of former special counsel Robert Muellers report, suggesting that he may be willing to consider releasing at least some of the restricted document.
Judge Reggie Walton, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, posed the questions during a hearing on a pair of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits seeking the redacted portions of the report.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) and BuzzFeed News reporter Jason Leopold filed the lawsuits earlier this year. The cases have since been consolidated, and attorneys for each party split the arguments during Mondays hearing.
Walton in particular raised concerns about Attorney General William Barrs initial handling of Muellers report, indicating that he believed there were discrepancies in how Barr characterized the report and the former special counsels actual findings.
I do have some concerns because it seems to me difficult to reconcile the contents of the Mueller report and statements made by the attorney general about the report, Walton said.

Why would he be so concerned about redacted portions of Mueller's report? Is he meddling?

The democrats think the redacted portion contains all the evidence they need to prove that Barr, Mueller, and the entire Mueller team are covering up for Trump.

I think I agree with this judge ! 🤔 So it Harms an Ongoing Matter Given that I think that Muellers report is a pile of stinking (redacted), and that all Ongoing Matters that I know about SHOULD be harmed. Lets go ahead and release the HOM material. Free Flynn !
