It would seem as though Buzzfeed has done the impossible and removed all efforts by Barr to protect Trump. I take issue with the word "meddling." Russia did far more than meddle, it interfered with the 2016 elections in ways that are criminal.
It is the criminal aspect and the willingness of the Trump campaign to embrace Russia's criminal activity that is most worrisome and completely inappropriate for a presidential candidate. I think the same criminality can be found in Trump's presidency as well. It is a character issue.
The direction of the country polls reflects a country unhappy with the way things are going to the tune of more than 55 percent. Only slightly more than 37 percent of the USA believe the country is on the right track and that is Trump's base.
The evidence that BuzzFeed has a NEW version of the Special Counsel report has now added to the concern Americans should have about the current administration and it's continued willingness to be corrupt and to lie to an entire nation.

The Department of Justice on Monday (click here) released a new version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian meddling in the 2016 election and President Donald Trump's campaign, shedding light on why significant portions of the 448-page document were redacted before it was released to the public earlier this month.
The new version was released by the Department of Justice in response to a Freedom of Information Act request and a subsequent lawsuit filed by BuzzFeed News and separately by the Electronic Privacy and Information Center....
...This new version of the report clearly states which information was withheld because it would interfere with ongoing law enforcement proceedings, which "would disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions," and which was withheld on national security grounds....
Everyone should feel good about the fact a qualified judge has his hand on the Special Counsel report. Progress is being made on behalf of the truth.
The fact Judge Walton is now involved only tells me the US House is on the right track in it's demand for the unredacted report and it's supporting documents. The US House is able to protect classified information. There are classified documents in the hands of the legislature right now. They also have documents that involve ongoing lawsuits. The objections by the Trump White House and a distraught DOJ about supplying the US House with all the documents is unwarranted.
...Earlier this month, during a hearing in the case, US District Judge Reggie Walton said Barr had “created an environment that has caused a significant part of the American public to be concerned about whether there will be full transparency."...
...BuzzFeed News and EPIC will now have the opportunity to challenge the legitimacy of the redactions and argue before Walton that overwhelming public interest compels the disclosure of additional information in the report....
