Did 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.

A conspiracy can be found with a quid pro quo; it doesn't require a written contract, or even a spoken agreement.

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.

I don't think that Barr can redact for executive privilege without Trump actually claiming it for something.

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

Someone had to read to Trump all 400 pages, and they had to wait until his drugs wore down everyday. He couldnt sit and listen until then.

Reign in Dems and convince just 3 other Republicans to vote no. They should have been lying on the floor stopping this somehow.
