Or do you think that John Q Public (and our enemies) have the right to know all of this?
Why send out a PUBLIC report that was selectively redacted before Congress has the opportunity to view the report w/o information redacted that Congress is legally entitled to view???
We have waited this long—I don’t know why there was such a rush...

The Public—I understand why some parts might need to be redacted
But Congress has access to information that is definitely much more select than the American public—
Or Barr for that matter

So this is all hype —- part of the dog-and-pony show that Trump trots out when he is making like a street magician w/3 card monte games...

So guess what that means? He's going to redact anything that mentions Trump directly, as if he was never involved in the investigation at all. If you think "Dems" and "the left" are going to stop talking about this because of that, you're nuts. It's simply another "President Troll" maneuver to throw meat to the base and anger the opposition.
Actually it is just a big hot mess of obstruction of justice...committed by Barr and Trump in collusion to deceive Congress and the American people—and the world...

Why take the time to logically explain how things work when many people already think that Barr is covering things up for Trump.

So much for the 2 year multi mullion dollar investigation which left no stone unturned and cleared Trump!

Conservatives are having great fun with this. Watching liberals flinch and flop like a fish on a boat deck brings such a feeling of contentment and humor. And to think this will be going on for the next 6 years is priceless.

I understand why you would redact a version of the repor tthat gets released to the public...

But Congress has access to top secret information. Why don't House and Senate leaders receive an unredacted report??

In addition, the privacy of the people not indicted of any crimes must be protected. Please refer to the federal law.

Leftists are so low information and uninformed or are they just playing stupid? That's a tough one.

Nor sure if it's been offered but Pelosi has already rejected the idea of it being viewed in classified setting. Anyone leaking information would be subject to significant criminal charges.

The dems won't find nothing. They'll find a few molehills and spend the next year and a half making frenzied rants about what mighty mountains they are.
