Quote:“When you read the report it becomes clear that the reason that Robert Mueller didn't make a finding on obstruction wasn't because he didn't feel capable of doing it, but because he thought in direct contradiction to what Bill Barr said yesterday, that under department guidelines, there could not be an indictment of a sitting president, and he very much left it to Congress to make that decision,” said Wallace Friday.

It is in fact the case that in the past, that attorneys general have gone to the courts and said -- gotten a court to agree, a judge to agree to release that information, to give it to Congress to fulfill its constitutional duties. Bill Barr chose not to do that. 

Honestly, I'm not real sure how it will play out. Dems seem pretty pat on just using the shadiness of an administration redacting its own investigation, along with Trump's polarizing, as ammo for 2020. Nixon and Clinton were both impeached on less, maybe even less without the report. But as it is, I don't think they're going to do anything... unless Trump wins reelection.
