What legal standing does Barr have to NOT release Mueller's report to Congress?

[Hutch Starskey]

With the appropriate caveat to members of Congress that names and methods of classified investigations NOT be revealed to the general public, what is the legal standing for Barr to not release the report? (of course, with the exception that Barr IS a Trump stooge appointed SPECIFICALLY to protect his cult leader.)

So, I ask again.....since Mueller's report was authorized by republicans and fully funded by all of us tax payers, what is the LEGAL PRECEDENT for the report to not be FULLY disclosed?

It's called the law....do you guys use Google at all? holy fuck you guys just read the talking points...….fucking sheep

"At the conclusion of the Special Counsel's work, he or she shall provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the Special Counsel."

I dont see public, congress or anyone but the AG in that sentance

It's called the law....do you guys use Google at all? holy fuck you guys just read the talking points...….fucking sheep

It's not a law, dope.

From your own link....
The terms 'special prosecutor', 'independent counsel', and 'special counsel' have the same fundamental meaning, and their use (at least at the federal level in the U.S.) is generally differentiated by the time period to which they are being applied. The term 'special prosecutor' was used throughout the Watergate era, but was replaced by the less confrontational 'independent counsel' in the 1983 reauthorization of the Ethics in Government Act.[5] Those appointed under that act after 1983 are generally referred to as 'independent counsels'. Since the independent counsel law expired in 1999, the term 'special counsel' has been used. This is the term used in the current U.S. government regulations concerning the appointment of special counsels.[6]

Attorney General’s Special Counsel Regulations
At the end of a special counsel’s investigation, section 600.8(c) of the regulation provides that a special counsel “shall provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the Special Counsel.” The special counsel’s obligation to file “a summary final report” is “limited.” The counsel’s report is to be “handled as a confidential document as are internal documents relating to any federal criminal investigation.” 64 Fed. Reg. 37041.

That's a federal regulation. A DOJ regulation. Not a federal law, dope.

Funny how Republicans were crying that Obama wasn’t transparent. And now you have a republican president who wants to hold back important information from the American people and Republicans are all cheering. These people are the party of nuts. They don’t care about America. Who even knows what they care about?

He's very transparent dipshit
he's not holding back anything...Rosenstein signed off on Barr's assessment....it's over, now jump in a lake

LOL...

Barr quoted two sentences from a nearly 400 page report.

He also quoted the MUELLER said no on prosecution.....it's over. #deal with it

Yes, two sentences, dope.

Where has it been reported that Barr WONT let congress have the report? Man, talk about “Bitter clingers”!

 

[Hutch Starskey]

That actually makes sense because of the source, Nat's goal just seems to be putting out any negative propaganda, truth be damned.

Just so you and the other Trump cult members get up to speed (besides what Hannity tells you,) know this:

The best indication of timing on the release of the report, has come from an ANONYMOUS DOJ official, who said the report will be out in “weeks, not months..” Stooge Barr told Lindsay Graham that the report will be released to Congress in April.....without a clear date of when it would be released to the public.

You finally got something right. Barr did not mention a ‘clear’ date. Instead, he said by the 15th. Might be the 14th, 11th, 6th or some other date. So just relax your extremely sore aching ass a few days and when it does come out you’ll be free to come completely unglued over whatever’s there. While we sit back and enjoy the show you clowns will put up over it.

He's dragging his feet. He'll release a report so redacted that it will no doubt be subpoenaed. At which time it will be months before congress gets it. Just as planned.

No that's what you lefties do.......funny how you didn't want the FISA warrants released...you people are partisan douchbags and major hypocrites, no one gives a fuck what you think

I sure did want them released. Why didn't Trump?

A couple of reasons....one the investigation was still ongoing and the democrats would try and pin obstruction on him.....guess what....investigation is over...you'll get your wish....we'll get all the documents, then we can move on to investigating the real crimes in this episode......I for one can not wait........I hope Adam Schiff has some secret evidence or his ass is about to be on fire....liar liar pants on fire........

Sure. Check back with me when the subpoena goes out.

The intel committee has clearances as well.
There's no reason they can't see the full unredacted report.

They have a security clearance. They don't have clearance to see Grand Jury testimony. Furthermore, we all know Schiff is a leaker.

The process of rulemaking (with regard to the code of federal regulations) is governed by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA): generally, the APA requires a process that includes publication of the proposed rules in a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), a period for comments and participation in the decision making, and adoption and publication of the final rule, via the Federal Register.[2][3]

Dope.

 

[M14 Shooter]

You're missing the point. The AG is not bound by federal law in this case. Those are deparment regulations. A department the AG oversees. He sets the regulations and policies. He was not in any way bound to act according to them. He could have done the release commensurate with past investigations. He chose politics over propriety.

The AG cannot simply ignore and/or change regulations on a whim, dope.

Show us, dope. Show us who sets the department regulations.

See post 199, dope.
