Remember though, Robert Mueller can always be subpoenaed by the House Judiciary Committee.
Trumpie can't hide it for very long.

maybe Jan. next? This time filibustering will put it out until after the election so as not to "hurt the president by having the fbi play politics" ala comey. Only the Ds pay the price for having rules.

If it's more than one page long and doesn't have a lot of pictures and white space, he won't even look at it.

(18,837 posts)7. From CNN:
Washington (CNN)White House lawyers expect to have an opportunity to review whatever version of Robert Mueller's report Attorney General Bill Barr submits to Congress before it reaches lawmakers and the public, multiple sources familiar with the matter said, setting up a potential political battle over the hotly anticipated document.
The attorneys want the White House to have an opportunity to claim executive privilege over information drawn from documents and interviews with White House officials, the sources said.
The White House's review of executive privilege claims are within its legal purview, but could set up a political battle over the perception President Donald Trump is trying to shield certain information from the public about an investigation that has swirled around him since the first day of his presidency.
Justice Department lawyers could advise him against certain assertions if they don't feel it's legally defensible. If Trump does assert executive privilege, the decision could be litigated in court if it's challenged, which Democrats would almost certainly do.

Doesn't seem to be legal (professional) in my eyes.

No need to allow the accused to have another opportunity to obstruct justice
