The Justice Department offered no indication on Monday of how soon it could release more details from special counsel Robert Mueller's report, but the process AG William Barr described suggests it could be a while.

Update: The leaders of six House committees say they want to see Mueller's complete report within eight days. And they want Justice to begin turning over the underlying evidence Mueller's investigators gathered. This will be a fight. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

This is an especially puzzling thing to keep secret.
Unless the report is classified, in which case other facts about it might also be classified. (That's still weird, but in a normal-government-weird kind of way.)
On the other hand, Barr's letter on Sunday laid out the steps DOJ will go through before it makes the report public, and a declassification review wasn't one of them. So .......

Today could be an especially consequential day for Donald Trump's presidency. Here are some things to chew on while we wait:
We're told Mueller's report is "comprehensive." But it's possible we won't hear a great deal from the man who's led the investigation that captivated Washington for nearly two years. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Congress is expecting to see quite a lot. The House voted 420-0 to demand the report, and many lawmakers also want the underlying evidence. If they don't get it, expect a huge fight. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

We won't know today what's in Mueller's final report. But it's worth taking some time to think about what he's revealed already: Russia conducted an extensive operation to sway the election to help Trump, his aides worked to benefit from it, then lied to conceal those ties.
The first lie – the first one that was a crime, at least – came on the fourth day of Donald Trump’s presidency, in a White House office down the hall from Trump’s own.

usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Mueller's office devoted considerable attention to the Trump associates who lied to Congress and federal investigators. And to the question still hanging over the investigation: Why?

"Loyalty" and "orders."

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia investigation MUST be made public.

Elected officials work for the people. We have a right to know if President Trump and his associates coordinated with Russia to interfere in our elections.
If the Department of Justice doesn't make the Mueller report public, Congress should use its subpoena powers to ensure the truth sees the light of day.
Here is our full statement calling for the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russian investigation:

😱A NIGHTMARE SCENARIO: The Mueller Investigation is a cover up scam, to sacrifice a few scapegoats to pacify the plebes, defuse a social explosion, to whitewash Trump and the GOP... using as a pretext for secrecy the DOJ rules, executive privilege, and top secret classification.
I KNOW PERFECTLY WELL THIS IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY, and I do not believe it... YET. But that is exactly what people will deduce if justice is denied, Trump & associates get immunity and impunity, or we get anything less than 100% fully & detailed transparency we can believe.
Without full disclosure, the longer it takes, the more obstacles in its way, the less credible it becomes. Anyone who can predict what a cover up of this magnitude will do to America, let me know! Trump is clearly guilty & absent being proven innocent beyond a shadow of a doubt.

💥💥💥#Mueller: #Russians leaked files to "discredit"? #Concord & #Kavanaugh connection, A thread. 👇

1. Note the date: the confidential files with evidence were leaked in October 2018.
2. The Twitter account has been removed. It's old news. There is nothing discrediting to Mueller's investigation in the fact that the Russians stole the files. If anything, it confirms that, yes, Russians hack.

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

"If Whitaker doesn't recuse himself and has any involvement in Mueller's probe, we will expose it, including whether he made any commitments to Trump, is serving as a back channel, or interfering in the probe. He will be held accountable. There must be no ambiguity about that."
"We are calling on the Chief Ethics Official at DOJ to notify us whether Mr. Whitaker has been advised to recuse himself from overseeing Mueller’s investigation. And, we will force Congress to act to protect the Mueller investigation." | @SenSchumer
