A federal appeals court on Friday tossed an obstacle in the way of grand jury information in special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report being released directly to the public

, but the decision may not slow disclosure of that material to Congress.

In the new ruling, the panel majority concluded that federal district court judges lack the authority to order the release of typically secret grand jury material except in situations specially authorized in a federal court rule.

The way Congress leaks giving to them is essentially public disclosure

Why we paid for it we should get to see it

Mueller's fiduciary obligations surpass those of journallists, whose only obligation is to report accurately, while truth is secondary. Journalists rely on anonymous sources. Mueller relied on grand jury testimony. Why isn't Mueller enjoying the same anonymity protections?

HouseDemocrats subpoena robert mueller, himself. william barr is a stooge; his integrity is tainted by his allegiance and determination to shield realDonaldTrump.

MSM former darlings........

Because Mueller's political hacks will leak anything that may be construed negatively anyway. Though again ...nothing illegal.

It will be victory for public & cheer to the people.

Here, we have the media actually hoping for lawlessness from our government and DOJ. 🤔

Legal experts disagree with this see footnote 3 of the decision 🙄 do better

Please, anything released to the whole Congress might as well be publicly disclosed, though I'm sure lies about the leaks will be flinging left and right.

Press group asks judge to lift grand jury secrecy in Mueller reportA group advocating for First Amendment rights is asking a judge to clear away one of the obstacles the DOJ is citing as grounds for withholding portions of Mueller’s report: the presence of information gathered through the secret actions of a grand jury As soon as the report is released, Trumps temporary honeymoon with Mueller will come to a crashing halt The longer that Barr and Trump try to conceal the full Report, the more that the US public will be convinced that the contents are damning, and will provide a clear path for impeachment. Keep pushing for the Report !! CNN MSNBC nytimes WSJ Because democrats don’t want their fingerprints on this request (although their fingerprints are already all over it).
