The Special Council/Mueller Investigation is about the country and the ways it was invaded by Russia to effect the 2016 elections. It is vital and to that end, it needs to go forward and bring about a clear understanding of the problems beset that election.
I understand AG Barr is thinking about providing his own edition of the Special Council report when it becomes available. That is not acceptable. A full report MUST go to the Congress and the public can be provided a redacted copy from the US Congress.
The Trump campaign is involved in this report and no Trump administration official should be changing a word when it is sent to Congress.

The Trump administration has set aside $10 million (click here) for Special Counsel Robert Mueller during the next fiscal year, although the funding won’t be necessary if the Russia investigation ends before then.
The funding is essentially a placeholder in the Justice Department’s budget request for fiscal 2020, a Justice Department official said. Mueller is believed to be wrapping up his investigation. In the unlikely event he needs money in the next fiscal year, however, he’ll have to put forward his own budget request this summer.
The placeholder funding isn’t intended to represent how much money Mueller will actually spend, the official added, but it nevertheless appears to be a close estimate of how much the investigation costs.
For example, Mueller spent $9.1 million during fiscal 2018, according to expenditure statements released by the Justice Department.
