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.

It's all smoke and mirrors used as an election pitch, no matter how much they complain and moan.

@SW-User I believe, instead, that it is a concerted attempt to smear Barr. If the Democrats can, at this point, place the idea in the minds of their own party and in the minds of some Independants that Barr is dirty, then no matter what Barr finds when he examines the DNC's role in the creation of the Fusion GPS dossier, they can scream that Barr is making it all up because he was held in contempt.

@4meAndyou I hope these sort of things keep happening so they can further alienate their voting base. I thought hell would freeze over before I'd ever hear lifetime democrats considering placing their vote on Trump.
