    Why declare executive privilege over something that is "COMPLETE EXONERATION?"

    Executive Privilege was waived the moment that they voluntarily agreed to cooperate with Mueller. This is a delaying tactic, but it is one that will backfire because it will keep this story in the public eye all the way to 2020.

    And yet it is a constitutionally crisis inducing delaying tactic because we have an alleged criminal asserting privilege over a police report detailing his criminal behavior.

    (1) The Congress had no right to the Mueller report by law pushed and passed by Democrats after the Starr Report. Barr broke the law at the Democrats urging to be transparent.
    (2) Key Democrats can go view the entire report right now. Today. It's available to their senior leadership.
    (3) The redacted portions are done by law to protect Grand Jury testimony which is required. It's not optional.

    Several aspects of this post are just wrong.

    1) Barr did not break any law by reporting the results to Congress.
    2) Democrats can only view a slightly less redacted version, not the full version.
    3) Grand Jury testimony can be revealed after requesting such from the court or by UNILATERAL DECISION by Barr.

    How can it be executive privilege if he never spoke to Mueller?

    It is really amazing how many times you put this out there for them, and they still don't get it.

    So trump is no better than Obama? Lol
    This was a criminal probe into the president and his band of felons. F&F was just a shitty policy by the DOJ.

    Should Barr be impeached for breaking the law? Can’t have an AG who’s a criminal can we?

    3)There's a recent ruling(that Deputy AG has asserted) that plainly states that Grand Jury material can't be looked at.

    Congress isn't a court so there is that. And that is Barr's purview if he should do that, again HIS PURVIEW NOT CONGRESS
