Here's the good part:

"I am relying on my own discretion to make as much public as I can," Barr said. "I don't intend, at this stage, to send the full, unredacted report to the committee."

Barr said four areas need to be redacted, including grand jury material; classified information that would reveal sources and methods; information that would interfere with ongoing prosecutions; and finally, information that intrudes on the privacy or reputation of "peripheral players."

"We will color-code the excisions from the report, and we will provide explanatory notes for each redaction," Barr said. "So for example, if a redaction is made because of a court order in a pending prosecution, we'll state that, and we will distinguish between the various categories.

That doesn't exactly sound unreasonable. The democrats, on the other hand, seem to think that this is the beginning of the apocalypse.

Having served on two grand juries I can tell you that there is NO WAY I would agree to allowing that information to be made public. GJ is not at all like you see on TV or in a jury trial in court. The most insane accusations are made and the witnesses have no legal representation with them. It's brutal. (By design.)

That's neat. Usually redacted is just a bunch of black bars with no clue to the why.
