To whom this letter is addressed. just the top democrats and top republicans on the judiciary committees in the house and senate. once they are advised by bill barr as soon as this weekend of the principle conclusions of robert mueller's report, will those chairs and ranking members of the judiciary commit is tell the public what bill barr told them? and what counts as mueller's principle conclusions anyway? how much detail is that? how much is the attorney general going to tell those two house members and those two senators as soon as this weekend? we do not know. not yet. but then here is th...

Released to congress but any counter intelligence investigation into the report must by law be released to the intelligence committee, which is again not at all the way attorney general william barr is talking about he'll do with the information but the intelligence committee chairman may have a point in terms of them having the law for being able to access this information sort of despite attorney general william barr's discretion and now tonight, there is this statement from chairman jerry nadler, the democratic chairman of judiciary in the house. >> the important thing to say is the mueller...

Circuit president and more than the intelligence committee that says if they send a subpoena or ask for the information, they should be able to get it. even grand jury information, intelligence information. there are channels that can flow through. i do think members of congress will see that eventually. whether the public sees every bit of that i'm not totally sure if there were bit players here that maybe came across mueller's scope at one point. they might have a privacy argument but if you're a senior white house official, certainly as we saw in hillary clinton's case with her aids, those ...

Going to sit on all of the rest of it. i mean, presumably subpoenaing the report and subpoenaing mr. mueller himself, subpoenaing other people involved in the investigation, ultimately those get enforced through the justice department. if william bar decided he would dig in his heels and let none of this out, it's hard to figure out what leverage could be used against him. >> well, the congress has considerable leverage and certainly we would begin by requesting information and move to subpoenas that and court enforcement and think about other means of pressuring the department to be transpare...
