Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) Tweeted:
Congress has asked for the entire Mueller report, and underlying evidence, by April 2. That deadline stands.
In the meantime, Barr should seek court approval (just like in Watergate) to allow the release of grand jury material.
Redactions are unacceptable. #ReleaseTheReport

I do believe...'asshole' is implied in this.

"Specifically, the petition asks a judge to unseal a report that Leon Jaworski, the Watergate prosecutor, used to send Congress the evidence he had gathered about President Richard M. Nixons misconduct."
There is alot more at the NYT article.
From the Starr Report Wili page..."For two days, the report sat unread in the Ford House Office Building as Democrats and Republicans in the House of Representatives debated what to do with it. On September 11, the House voted 36363 to release the report to the public.[5] When the report was uploaded to the internet, it became a sensation, with twelve percent of adult Americans 20 million people browsing the web at once to browse the document. "It's probably the single highest number of people who have ever used the computer to access a single document," David Webber of the Frank Lutz polling company told CNN.[6]"
More there.
So it looks like Watergate is correct.

(32,975 posts)Check out his wiki page. I also wonder now if 'Watergate' was a reminder to Barr, bad times will follow, lime Mitchells conviction and prison time.
George II
(67,782 posts)....he was chairman of Nixon's re-election campaign, the aptly named "CREP". Republicans seem to have problems with convictions of their campaign chairmen.

Or at least start writing his resignation letter. Just to be on the safe side.
