Call for this report to be released to the public. >> there's senate legislation, if i'm not mistaken, introduced today by chuck grassley and richard blumenthal that would essentially require a public version of the report, i think, with exceptions made for redacting classified information. do you foresee something like that passing out of the house in short order? >> well, i think it could pass out of the house. let me just say this. the public has been very patient. they have been waiting. we have heard bits and pieces here and there. and we want to know, and the public deserves to know. and...

Allegations. >> let's discuss with a former u.s. assistant attorney and cnn legal analyst. a lot of things unusual about this case. first of all, missing a deadline, don't know how significant is that. is it? >> it's not a smart idea. it is possible that they first filed under seal to the judge. the judge may be in the process of review and redacting and then we may see it later today. i think it's unlikely they just blew off the deadline, although i've seen it happen. >> what's unusual is picking the fight, as you've explained, with the special counsel over a plea agreement that he made and s...
