1/ This decision from the D.C. Circuit today pretty much guarantees--at least in the near-term--that DOJ won't ask Chief Judge Howell to authorize release to Congress of grand jury materials in the Mueller report.

2/ But that was never a realistic prospect, anyway, in light of DOJ's current view that courts have no such inherent power. Importantly, this *does not* mean that there should be major redactions of GJ info from the Mueller report.
3/ It's unlikely there's much in the report covered by the Rule 6(e) confidentiality requirement to begin with--and what *is* covered can probably be disclosed to HPSCI and SSCI, at a minimum, under 6(e)(3)(D). More soon.
