It will either officially be made public or someone will leak it.

I think most of the stuff about Trump will be released.

But he also investigated a ton of Trump staffers that were never prosecuted. Congress may see some of that investigation, but i doubt the public will.

3. At times, Grand Jury testimony can be released:

Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e), which enshrines the traditional rule of grand jury secrecy, establishes exceptions that allow grand jury materials (such as transcripts of witness testimony) to be disclosed to certain outside parties in limited circumstances. Some of these exceptions allow for automatic disclosure—to necessary government personnel, for example—but many of the exceptions require that disclosure be authorized by the federal district court in the jurisdiction where the jury is convened,as the court ultimately has some degree of“supervisory authority”over the grand jury. Rule 6(e)(3)(E)provides in relevant part that the court “may authorize disclosure . . . of a grand-jury matter” (1) preliminarily to or in connection with a judicial proceeding; (2) to a defendant who shows grounds may exist to dismiss the indictment because of something that occurred before the grand jury; or (3) at the request of the government, to a foreign court or prosecutor or to an “appropriate” state, state-subdivision, Indian tribal, military, or foreign government official for the purpose of enforcing or investigating a violation of the respective jurisdiction’s criminal law.Persons seeking court authorization under one of these exceptions must make a “strong showing of particularized need” that “outweighs the public interest in secrecy.”

Relying on a robust conception of a court’s “supervisory authority over the grand juries that they have empaneled,”three Circuit Courts of Appeals—the Second, Seventh, and Eleventh—and a number of district courts have determined that the list of court-authorized exceptions in Rule 6(e) is not exclusive, and that courts in fact have the inherent authority to permit disclosure of grand jury information and materials in circumstances not expressly contemplated by the text of the Rule. The courts that have found such authority have emphasized the proposition, supported by early Supreme Court precedent, that Rule 6 is merely “‘declaratory’ of the long-standing ‘principle’ that ‘disclosure’ of grand jury materials is ‘committed to the discretion of the trial court.’” As such, according to these courts, Rule 6(e)’s enumeration of circumstances in which courts may authorize disclosure of matters occurring before a grand jury “does not, by itself, eliminate the court’s power to address situations that the Rule does not describe.”Courts that have found they possess inherent authority to permit disclosure of grand jury materials beyond the text of Rule 6(e) have nonetheless generally cabined the exercise of such authority to “special circumstances,” most frequently where there is significant public interestin proceedings that have already concluded.

I will never trust anything less than the full report coming from Barr. It's obvious he's leaking otherwise why the Magat-largo celebrations on Friday. There was also a big ole smilefest on with Trump, Graham (aka lapdog), Melania and Gowdy. The photos are sickening and infuriating. I feel like the villains are winning and will become more emboldened. I am so scared for our country's future.

The mood at Magat-largo was described as celebratory and victorious. This was after MSM confirmed Giuliani's statement that Mueller had no additional indictments and the report was complete.

Mueller helped take down John (Teflon Don) Gotti. Audrey Strauss was just hired in the SDNY. Think RICO.

9. if americans want to get their attention protest where it scares republicans

protesting state capitols doesn't work anymore.

a recent article on a poll showing rw media attacks on AOC are working blames it on fox and that's the usual read by her supporters and that's dumb - limbaugh plays a major part in that and regularly calls her a commie, stalinist dunce to set the tone on 1500 radio stations and fox - as long as the left ignores that we're not getting her back

protesting his stations and the universities that broadcast sports on 260 stations that headline limbaugh would scare off most of their advertisers and destroy the rw radio monopoly messaging megaphone that's been so important in this disaster the last 30 years.

here's a list of 88 universities that broadcast sports on 260 limbaugh stations - they're some of the loudest in the
US - and if one or two of those unis was pushed to reread and honor their mission statements and started looking for apolitical alternatives other unis would be shamed into following. that attention will scare the crap out of the gop that depend on all that free help. that will increase media attention. advertisers on all RW stations would head for the hills.

otherwise republicans can ignore protests - how many protestors are a few hundred assholes on 1500 stations reaching 50 mil a week worth?

if republicans paid $1000/hr for radio infomercials x 15 hrs a day to defund public ed, deny global warming,excusing racism, protecting trump those stations would be worth about $1BIL/year FREE and endorsed by those universities.....

from republiconradio.org

$1000x 15 hrs/day x 5 days/week = $75,000/week working for trump attacking dem investigators, mueller, etc, polluting jury pools, and intimidating judges and GOP senators thinking about impeachment. and enabling the teabag trumpers in congress wanting more investigations of hillary ....

An organized boycott on South Carolina and Kentucky and all Fox advertisers is needed. We should also boycott companies that have given campaign donations to Trump, Graham and McConnell in the past.
