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

None.
Thanks for revealing yourself as the world's biggest moron. He's the AG. He's the only one who has standing. The law specifies that he determines what is done with the report.
If congress subpoenas the report, they will get it.

Congress is going to get it without subpoenas, and they always were, no matter HOW much you want to pretend you have to "fight" for it in order to distract everyone from the fact that you were wrong for two years, you spent ridiculous amounts of taxpayer money being wrong, you still refuse to admit you were wrong, and you're still attempting to demand some sort of respect and standing as legitimate, credible, responsible citizens instead of the lunatic, partisan, mouth-frothing ass napkins you actually are.
What makes you think they'll get an un-redacted report?

Faith in our democracy requires that elected officials other than republicans have access to the unredacted report. Full stop.
Only fools have faith in democracy.
 
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.
Barr said he'd release the report when he is able to do so.
You have to wait, and no amount of whining will change this.

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.

Do you know what is in the report? If not, you can't say either way with any certainty. Just more crying from the extreme nuts.

I know it was not a problem to do so in the past. In all fairness though, this administration is the most corrupt and inept in history so.......

The Grand Jury evidence is not allowed to be released. Also if the Special Counsel does not find anything illegal, he is not allowed to say anything about the report. Under the previous rules, investigations and reports could be sent to Congress without any delay. Under the current rules, the report needs to go to the Attorney General and then he can make decisions. The other issue is the President's privacy as no crime was found to be committed, so part of the investigation into Trump could be considered private and irrelevant.

There are those with the clearance levels that could be allowed to see it, in its entirety and Congress could subpoena the document however many times the courts will ask Congress and the Executive Branch to work it out.

Your last sentence is just an opinion that is not relevant to the discussion.
 
Just what would the republicans have done if ken starr had pulled this garbage with his report on Clinton?
You mean the report Nanci Pelosi voted to note release to the public?

Info: The Starr report contained innumerable redactions, required by law, to protect sensitive and/or private information, testimony and methods.
The Mueller report is subject to the same laws.

It's obvious the Democrats believe they're special and don't have to do what other special counsels did in the past.


I only read your first sentence and stopped in disgust at how much of a coward you are.

It doesn't matter what Nancy Pelosi wanted or voted. What matters is what actually happened.

What happened is that ken starr put that report on the internet for everyone to see immediately without any redactions.

The republicans were more than happy to have it published in full without any summary from Reno or any redactions.

Now that the shoe is on the other foot republicans are doing all they can to keep Mueller's report out of the public.

You're too much of a coward to admit that you would have thrown hissy fits of Janet Reno had done with the starr report what barr is doing with the Mueller report.

You conservatives are all are nothing but a bunch of lying hypocrites and cowards.
 
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.

If conservatives were smart they would want that report released asap.

The last thing they would want is for that report to come out during an election cycle. Yet that's what they're causing to happen.

If that report "totally exhonoates" trump then trump and his people would want it all out in the public without any redactions. They don't want that so I have to believe there's something in that report that barr knows will harm trump.

I am fully aware that leftist hypocrisy does not bother you.

This does not change the fact that federal law demands certain information be withheld/redacted/removed .
Why do you want the AG to violate the law?

Not true, as you well know. Documents are redacted for a reason. That is so obvious that even you understand.

They are under obligation to redact, if Grand Jury information is in there and also those in the report that were not indicted, are supposed to have their privacy and rights protected.

So your beliefs are uneducated guesses.
 
The Law says what the Law says, and Barr is following it to the letter, full stop. /thread
He is, but that is not the end. Barr can join congress in asking a judge to release the grand jury information, and he has been invited to do so.
 
One of these days you will add something meaningful to the conversation
Teaching you that a judge can order the release of the grand jury information, as was done for the Nixon and clinton investigations, is probably one of the more meaningful points in this thread. And you learned something.
