Justice Department is pushing back on the suggestion that special counsel's office wrote summaries that could be quickly released.
"Every page of the 'confidential report' provided to Attorney General Barr" was marked to say it may contain confidential grand jury information, according to spokeswoman Kerri Kupec
"The Department continues to work with the Special Counsel on appropriate redactions to the report so that it can be released to Congress and the public," she said.

Why does Michael Cohen need to stay out of prison just to give Congress some records? He can hand them off whenever he wants.
Also, what does Lanny Davis mean by “recently obtained?” Have these documents not been provided to prosecutors, who actually have some sway on Cohen’s prison time?

The president essentially doodles during important policy briefings, according to the new book from @JakeSherman and @apalmerdc

washingtonpost.com/politics/new-b…
@JakeSherman @apalmerdc Trump said he could get the Freedom Caucus to help make Nancy Pelosi the House speaker if she didn't have the necessary support. washingtonpost.com/politics/new-b…
@JakeSherman @apalmerdc “The most conservative members of Congress would do him a favor by voting for Pelosi.”

That's quite the favor.

Rep. Collins says Democrats are essentially "asking the attorney general to break the law" by asking for grand jury information.
Collins says there's no reason for a subpoena because Barr has already promised to provide Congress with a version of Mueller's report. "What's the rush? Spring break probably."
Collins compares Democrats to a guy who can't catch anything while fishing. "Instead of catching anything the way he should, he pulls out a piece of dynamite and throws it in the pond."

OH! READ THIS ⤵️Breaking NYT: someone on Mueller's team is talking and said that the report is 'more damaging for Trump than Barr revealed'

2-"WASHINGTON — Some of Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated, according to
3-"government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations. At stake in the dispute — the first evidence of tension between Mr. Barr and the special counsel’s office — is who shapes the public’s initial understanding of one of the most consequential government

Here's @RepJerryNadler in full hypocrisy mode on report redactions.

Full credit to @MrM1S for the video clip (follow this guy)

Focus people on the content not the fat jokes

@RepJerryNadler @MrM1S @seanhannity @seanmdav @realDonaldTrump @RealJamesWoods @JesseBWatters @greggutfeld Nadler has started his circus this morning trying to force Bill Barr to break the law. He's going against his argument he made in the prior video I posted, and he is leading his argument with rules under "Independent Counsel."
@RepJerryNadler @MrM1S @seanhannity @seanmdav @realDonaldTrump @RealJamesWoods @JesseBWatters @greggutfeld When most people think of the position, they probably think of Ken Starr and his long investigation into Clinton, which eventually resulted in a Congressional impeachment trial.
