What's to prevent Barr from removing all the negative stuff about Trump?

Sorry if this has been brought up before but I have not heard anyone bring this up. I have this unsettling feeling of Barr and Trump going through line by line of the report and simply removing anything they don't like. I can see them needing time to redact classified info from the public, but Congress? No reason at all not to release it to Congress immediately. I put nothing past a dictator.

AG William Barr will get hammered hard by the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee as to what his role is as AG. They will be quick to point out that the AG IS NOT the personal lawyer for the President, but in office to serve the people and uphold the Constitution of the US.

Jerry Nadler will not go easy on Barr. Barr can be held in Contempt of Congress if it is being determined that he is not being truthful and actually covering up for crimes on the part of Trump. Lying to Congress carries serious consequences that even the AG cannot sidestep.

Congressional Democrats will have Barr's balls in a vice grip from now on.

He’s not ever going to do something illegal like that, and he’s fine with the AG doing whatever he wants with the report. If someone from his staff leaked the report, Mueller would be the first in line to bury that staff member under the jail. So I don’t see a solution from that direction.
