BREAKING: To the surprise of absolutely no one, The NYT is reporting the Justice Dept and WH lawyers have been discussing the findings of the Mueller report prior to its release. https://t.co/SFoZ28c3Jb

I’m deeply troubled by reports that the WH is being briefed on the Mueller report AHEAD of its release. Now, DOJ is informing us we will not receive the report until around 11/12 tomorrow afternoon — AFTER Barr’s press conference. This is wrong. #ReleaseTheReport https://t.co/bR50HhGJ0i

"Because the nature of Barr’s redactions will not be known until the full report is released to Congress, what will appear today is akin to a film adaption of a novel that no one but the director has read."https://t.co/5EQXenfnZT

Hmmm. Seems like it doesn’t “totally exonerate” Trump. (And what’s up w the head’s up to Trump?)
I am most interested to know whether Barr made legal conclusions that prevented an indictment and whether he second-guessed Mueller in this respect. https://t.co/eAaBJwq5D1

So, if Nadler’s tweet is true, Bill Barr will have summarized the Mueller report, redacted it, briefed the White House on it, and then given a press conference on it all before allowing Congress to see it.
