Episode notes
Contempt Charges Against Barr
- Democrats are pursuing contempt charges against AG Barr for not releasing the full Mueller report.
- This is illogical, as Barr released almost the entire report, and Democrats refuse to view the available portions.
Legality of Redactions
- Barr is legally obligated to redact grand jury information as per Rule 6E.
- Democrats' demands for a full, unredacted report contradict established legal procedure.
Executive Privilege
- The White House claims executive privilege, but Barr previously stated Trump waived it for transparency.
- This contradiction weakens the executive privilege argument.
