Here is the one hundred fifty-seventh article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today\u2019s winner is Republican Coverup General, William “Barf Bag” Barr. He is so honored for protecting his beloved Fuhrer from the consequences of his many crimes.<\/font> <\/p>\n Democrats have assailed Barr\u2019s plan for redacting four categories of information, warning that the attorney general could use the excisions to shield damaging findings about Trump from the public. And while lawmakers acknowledge that some information\u2014such as classified intelligence on the Russian government\u2014should be withheld from the public, they have argued that Congress needs the full, unredacted report to exercise its constitutional oversight responsibilities<\/strong>. <\/p>\n On that front, Barr left Democrats disappointed. He suggested that Congress might never see the most sensitive portions of Mueller\u2019s report<\/a>, much less the evidence the special counsel used to arrive at his conclusions, which Democrats have also demanded to see. Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee have already voted to authorize subpoenas for the full report and its underlying evidence, likely setting up a court battle with Barr. <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t intend at this stage to send the full, unredacted report to the committee<\/strong>,\u201d the attorney general told the appropriations panel. He was responding to a question from Republican Representative Tom Graves of Georgia, who sought to elicit a warning to members of Congress not to leak redacted portions of the report to the public\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Inserted From <The Atlantic<\/a>><\/font> <\/p>\n Barr may be trying to force House Democrats to open an impeachment investigation as a prerequisite to getting the full report. Rachel Maddow<\/a> explains in depth.<\/font> <\/p>\n\n

\u2026While refusing to further characterize Mueller\u2019s findings, Barr offered the lawmakers a few additional morsels that were not previously known. He said the process of redacting the report for public consumption is \u201cgoing along very well\u201d and that he would release it \u201cwithin a week\u201d\u2014keeping to his mid-April timetable. <\/p>\n
