Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDid Barr let the White House do their own redactions?
And that is why it took an extra couple of days to release the Report?
Last week, he was going to release the report on Tuesday or Wednesday, most folks thought? Then, they came out to let everyone know that it would be released on Thursday, just before the Easter recess.
Also, did Barr release Grand Jury and secret intelligence to Trump's lawyers that he has denied members of Congress?
What a hack! Safire was right. He is the Cover-up General.

(73,536 posts)That's a question that we need a full answer to. Only the president can assert executive privilege, for example, and one of the interesting things will be finding out if that happened.
It's also essential that we learn if there was any -- direct or indirect -- communications between Barr (or anyone in the DOJ or White House) and Trump's personal legal team.

So if anything is color-coded for that type of redaction, Trump's team must have seen it first.
