The unredacted report may compromise sources and methods. I would at least expect those to be protected/redacted.Democrats prepare their response to Barr's redacted report - CNNPolitics
It's so simple for Trump; just release the full unredacted Mueller report to the Congress AND the public. He says it amounts to "total vindication, no colusion, no obstruction." Who cares what the AG says. He is a Trump appointee hired to protect Trump; something that Sessions failed to do, in Trump's eyes.
So, why not release it and take advantage of the political embarrassment it would lay at the feet of Democrats and "fake news?" Just think of the political capital! Trump could talk about it every day and especially at his rallies. Look at this, how wrong the Dems and "fake news" were. Would it not give him oodles and oodles of political capital.
Or, is there something in the report that is damaging politically and/or legally that Trump wants to hide? It looks like we have prima facie evidence of that, his unwillingness to release the report to the public.
But if there is a redaction equivalent to the infamous "18-minute gap", it would not pass the sniff test.
