This was not about the information in the redactions. Congressional Democrats know there is not anything there that will change anything for them. This is naked political vengeance.
They want to hurt Trump, but since they can't, they are going to try and hurt his AG, who has announced that there are investigations ongoing into the beginnings of this investigation and a number of other matters that are sensitive for the Democrats and the Obama regime. They have been hurt and are very possibly getting ready to be hurt some more, and they all know it.
They appear to be trying to intimidate and bully the AG into stopping those investigations. Which is arguably obstruction of justice by the House Democrats, by the way.

The D's want to see the redactions about ongoing investigations. They're scared stiff.
You make a good point about obstruction charges. Barr is overseeing multiple investigations into the Democrats. Democrats trying to force him out because he's investigating them, is a crime.
Nadler and the entire Democrat contingent of the Judiciary Committee (most of them Lawyers) voted on a Resolution of Contempt because the Attorney General won't break the Law ..... the Contempt Hearing is before the entire House and Nancy Pelosi will be in charge of that.
You could not make up something so bizarre.
The entire Mueller Report (which the LAW said he did not need to give Congress) ONLY had about 8% redacted.
In the Obstruction part - ONLY 2% was redacted.
In the National Security Part (Collusion) - the DOJ made that available to those with a certain level of clearance and then offered to make it available of the entire Committee.
Nadler said NO-NO-NO-NO ... and refused to even read the Report, which is now 98.5% unredacted.
The Democrats made fools of themselves -- all of this drama over 1.5% Redaction.
They don't even want the Grand Jury testimony ...... they want the Millions of Documents that Mueller got through SWAT Raids, 1.4 Million pages of Trump Campaign and Family emails, bank records, IRS records ..... that's what they really want. Nothing else makes sense - they think there is Opposition Research in those papers.
Nadler has the clearance to go read the unredacted parts.
It is a black mark on America when the Attorney General defies congress and disobeys the constitution. Barr is nothing more than a Trump toad and apologist. He should be ashamed of his obstruction.

Yes it is...its illegal for anyone other than the sc investigation team, to see it if it didnt result in criminal charges of the individual.

The Democrats in the House are a bunch of nakedly unhinged pure partisan hacks. They may not realize it, but they have done themselves a real disservice today.
As far as Barr, this should clarify for him that these people are acting out of spite and not in any sort of responsible or mature adult manner. But I am pretty sure he already knew that.
Next.
Congress, like every Amercan is entitled to their full rights.
Not What the Trump lawyer doles out.
" here is 92 percent of your rights"
How would you like 92% of your paycheck.
