The GOP is confabulating their narrative around the Mueller report:
- We have to redact Grand Jury and intel info so the public doesn't see it.
(No, they don't - Intel and Judiciary Cttees regularly review this info; don't redact it for them)

- The report didn't indict Trump, so he's innocent.
(No. Mueller reported 400 pp of evidence, and declined to recommend indictment, because the DoJ can't.)
- We have to mask "peripheral" parties
(No. There is no legal basis for this, unless they're under investigation.)

- It will take 3 weeks to do all the redactions. And oh, look - that's when Congress goes on break for 2 weeks.
(No. No redactions are justified for House Judiciary or Intel at all (see 1-3). Even if they were, multiple former prosecutors said 1 week should be plenty.)
