The Department of Justice on Friday dismissed the subpoena issued by House Democrats for a less-redacted version of the Mueller report, saying that it wasn't necessary.

"Congressman Nadler's subpoena is premature and unnecessary," Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement, referring to the chairman of the House Judiciary panel, Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. "The Department will continue to work with Congress to accommodate its legitimate requests consistent with the law and long-recognized executive branch interests."

Kupec noted that special counsel Robert Mueller's report was released Thursday with what she called "only minimal redactions, " and that arrangements are in place for Nadler and other select members of Congress to view a version with fewer redactions.

I think this was a dumb play by Nadler.  It sounds like he thinks the really juicy stuff was redacted.  With so little redacted it appears to me Nadler is just looking for headlines that make it sound like Barr is covering for Trump..."they're hiding stuff."

It might have been wiser to let the salacious details feed the news and papers for a while before claiming the damnable fact demand we know what is redacted on page 17 paragraph 2.
