Congress has just voted to hold AG Barr in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with their subpoena of the unredacted Mueller report?

I have heard conflicting stories about the legality of this proceeding. I have heard that AG Barr can not be ordered to break federal law by Congress, and that by providing Congress with unredacted materials relating to ongoing Grand Jury information Barr would be breaking the law.

I have heard that ALL information in the Mueller report is available to Congress except for protected Grand Jury information.

I sense - Marbury vs. Madison thing going on - any truth to it being similar ?

@MarmeeMarch Just reading Marbury vs Madison. It does not appear to be similar. Marbury vs Madison was more about a court ruling against Madison for slow walking judge's commissions.

The difference, in this case, is that Congress has requested the Attorney General to break the law by disclosing Grand Jury information which is protected in secrecy by law. Congress leaks like a sieve, and any information disclosed to them WILL leak.
