Barr’s stated position is that the redactions will be as narrow as they can be to ensure transparency. But once the redacted report is released, it’s safe to assume that some skepticism about what was withheld will continue. This was a contentious position to take, and Barr was asked to provide the memo offering the detailed legal rationale for allowing such detentions. He declined, instead offering a 13-page document that “summarizes the principal conclusions.” When Congress, and then The Washington Post, obtained the full opinion in 1991, it was quickly noted that several conclusions from the full document hadn’t been included in Barr’s summary.
While Barr suggested in testimony last week that he would indicate the broad principles under which various parts were redacted, Goodman noted that he can choose to interpret his redaction authority in broad terms — something that would be hard even for members of Congress to evaluate as appropriate.

Please be patient. The reason why it's taking so long is there are a shitload or crimes to redact. Re: MullerReport
Ahem- you mean MUELLER and Barr, right? He’s not doing this secretly in the night, the SP and team are aiding in complying with the law to redact where required.
Protip: he’s gonna redact the shit out of it
[Pause] Can I just say how cute Mueller looks here? Carry on.

Barr just briefed the White House on the report as he is deciding what to redact. That is code for he asked the White House what they want redacted. Before he briefed the WH he should of completed his decisions and prepared a report for Congress. That way there’s no Conflicts.

No matter what is redacted, nor the reason (laws, on going investigations, national security) the left wont be satisfied & will be unwilling to leave the fishing trip until they catch the fish they want. Ends should not be the justification of the means! Steep slippery slope!
