    For your education. That was ALL released in the Starr report.

    Grand Jury testimony is really the only “fact based” redaction. In other words, its not something that can be manipulated by “status” to keep it hidden

    I know that Fox News is telling you it can be released, but the Starr report proves it can be. Congress has the power to have the full un-redacted report released to them, and then congress can release it thru a few legal, and procedural steps to the public. And the ultimate irony is that it was the Republicans who did this for the Starr report, thus showing the democrats exactly what they need to do.

    FFS Blues, the law is not different now. Congress has the same power today to release the full report.

    Now with that said, i do have a serious question for you: Why did the right feel the need to create a “counter-report” to the Muller report ? And how did they get the information in the Mueller report to creat the “counter report” ? Seriously

    The Trump pantywaists will swallow the prepared trumpery spin wholesale of course. That's a given.

    Rational Americans will look to the portion of the report that is made public for significant revelations from credible sources.
    Whether Trump lashes out hysterically at the truth-tellers is of no substantive consequence.

    Sounds more like you'll be digging for any kind of dirt you can find to lend some kind of credence to this two year debacle.

    It is totally different, Starr operated under the Independent Prosecutor statute and reported to Congress. That was changed after the Clinton affairs to the Special Prosecutor who reports to the Attorney General.

    I don't think "the right" has had some vote or poll on the need to create a "counter-report" but why would you not expect a statement from the party that was falsely accused in a two year investigation. As I have already said they may not even need to do so but it is their prerogative.

    You don’t need a “counter report” if it exonerates them correct ?

    Who they report to has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to subpoena the report. Congress has the power to declassify the report.

    Why ? The redacted report means nothing. The ability of those in power to classify things, thus empowering themselves to redact what they want, or what might be damning, makes the report worthless.

    You and I both know that the right would be marching in the streets, with blood coming out of their eyes if Loretta Lynch was redacting one line of a report on Hillary Clinton. Hell, you all already did it

    I’m sure you were just as mad when Obama used executive privilege to withhold documents pertaining to fast and furious too

    Congress DOES NOT have the power to declassify the report. Only a Judge can do that. And the reason only a Judge can do that is because the Democrats passed a law requiring the redaction of Grand Jury proceedings shortly after the Bill Clinton investigation.

    It’s this simple we’re there indictments or not? Congress can try and impeach but it won’t work and all these democrat party lines are just posturing

    Yes, because the Right rioted in the streets when Comey conspired with Lynch to let Hillary skate away . . . oh wait . . . no it didn't. It never does. It's the Left that melts down and needs therapeutic Play Dough; that is, when the Left isn't being violent instead and crapping on cop cars.

    I think that a great many of these leftists mentally edit out precisely what the left routinely does by way of public displays of hysteria and rage and ever increasing violence. To them it just . . . never . . . happens or happened.

    Well, the tarmac of an airport is quite certainly an odd place to be redacting DOJ paperwork. So you tell us............

    And yet the admin lawyers reviewed it and redacted nothing. So much for that theory.

    Again you use Barrs words. Barr also said that the report totally exonerates Trump which it absolutely did not. To the contrary, Mueller actually said that he did obstruct, but that he would “follow guidance” from the Office of Legal Counsel that he could not indict a sitting president.

    Barr has lied from the beginning, and the report proves it, and you want to use his words as the bellwether of truth ?
