#REDALERT: The 6 Democrats invited by DOJ to view a less-redacted version of the #MuellerReport have DECLINED the offer.

I initially agreed with this, as it could strengthen the subpoena fight.

HOWEVER, if DOJ moves forward...then ONLY REPUBLICANS will see that version on Tues.
#REDFLAG: People like McCarthy, Nunes, Jordan, and Burr...will be able to mischaracterize what's redacted, while Dems won't be able to push back.

They'll also be able to WARN Trump...AND the people under ongoing investigation what it says.

Potentially jeopardizing those cases.
#REDFLAG: These Republicans would also be able to tell Trump which U.S. Attorney's Offices are handling each of the 14 redacted investigations.

Trump and his allies could target the investigators and/or replace them.

#NOTE: Barr has no duty to report if those cases are impeded.
#REMEMBER: The Special Counsel regulations mandate that at the end of the investigation, the AG must notify Congress:

- If the AG intervened in any investigative steps, prosecutions, etc, that the SC wanted to pursue.

#HOWEVER: Those rules DON'T EXIST for other investigations.
#BOTTOMLINE: I believe Democrats not viewing the less-redacted report is unwise.

I'm concerned about Bill Barr, his view that the President can't obstruct justice, and his willingness to act as a partisan.

Moreover, he's given us no reason to believe he won't intervene further.
