DOJ calls out Dems for ignoring less-redacted Mueller report, serving subpoena instead

foxnews.com/politics/doj-c…

“Regrettably, before even reviewing the less-redacted version or awaiting the Attorney General’s testimony, you served a subpoena ...” Assistant AG Stephen Boyd wrote..

“You served such a subpoena knowing that the Dept could not lawfully provide the unredacted report, that the Committee lacks any legitimate legislative purpose for seeking the complete investigative files, and that processing your requests would impose a significant burden...”

One GOP lawmaker said the key section on obstruction in the version that Democrats have ignored contains just four redactions

“The AG also voluntarily released the Special Counsel’s confidential report with minimal redactions to Congress and the public, made an even-less redacted report available to Chairman Nadler and congressional leadership (which they have refused to review)...

and made himself available to the Committee by volunteering to testify this week,” spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said.

Democrats had objected to Barr’s decision to transmit the report to Congress with redactions, and Nadler has subpoenaed the full report along with underlying materials.

But Boyd, in the letter to Nadler on Wednesday, said the less-redacted version already available to key members “would permit review of 98.5% of the report, including 99.9% of Volume II, which discusses the investigation of the President’s actions.”

“The chairman (Nadler) won’t even go look at what the attorney general offered him,” he said.
