Federal judge rules Bill Barr improperly redacted part of the Mueller report -- and must release them
Leopold and his BuzzFeed colleague Ken Bensinger report: The ruling and an accompanying order mean the Justice Department will be obliged to unveil at least 15 previously blacked-out pages from Volume 1 of Special Counsel Robert Muellers 448-page report on the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, on or before November 2. In addition to charging decisions, those pages appear to involve discussions related to the hack of e-mails from the Democratic National Committee in early 2016 and the Trump campaigns interest in those documents when WikiLeaks released them that June.
Leopold and Bensinger note that Walton rendered his decision in response to an 18-month legal challenge by BuzzFeed News and the advocacy group Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) to unredact the entire Mueller report under the Freedom of Information Act.

Bet they don't. The DoJ with Barr in charge does not believe in law order as it pertains to them. Ever. So although this should be marvellous news it is going to be held up in court till well after the election.
