As Attorney General William Barr decides how much of Robert Mueller’s report to release publicly, recent reports about discontent within the special counsel’s team send a clear message to Barr: redactions are subject to debate
“I’d be shocked if anyone would go on the record,” said one of the sources familiar with the Mueller team’s frustrations.
“It's always been a rule that if partisan prosecutors start pulling political punches, that career agents and attorneys might use the media to preserve the integrity of investigations,” Samborn said. “But that can be neither an excuse nor justification for leaking grand jury or classified informationSamborn added he hopes that Mueller’s associates would find “legitimate ways” of conveying vital information to Congress if they should feel that Barr has withheld it without good cause.
“I would not be quaking in my boots,” said Kathleen Clark, a professor at Washington University School of Law in St. Louis. “It’s hard to imagine that their subjective sense of dissatisfaction could somehow result in a finding of illegality,” Clark said. “And as for disclosing the structure of the report, it’s inconceivable to me that kind of disclosure could result in any kind of disciplinary action on an employment or legal-ethics front.”
