The Special-Counsel Regulations Were Never Intended to Deny Congress Information
Our recommendations were meant to ensure that the attorney general’s regulations did not impair Congress’s access to vital information in any meaningful way.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller will soon send his report to Attorney General William Barr. Few topics may be more relevant to our democracy than what the report says. There may be appropriate reasons to redact limited portions of it, recognizing that only the congressional intelligence committees ordinarily receive the most sensitive classified information. But the rest should be released to Congress and the American public so that they can debate the consequences, from protection of our national security to legal and political accountability for public officials.
There is no guarantee that the attorney general will release
