Analysis: The Mueller report just dropped. Here’s what happens next.
By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow March 22 at 5:49 PM This report has been updated.
Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6 says that details of the investigation must be kept secret unless they are revealed as part of a court order related to an indictment or other proceeding. Grand jury rules prohibit the disclosure of information obtained via that method — a method Mueller has undoubtedly used extensively — unless actual charges are filed. And Barr will also have to review the report for any classified information.
After all, Congress is the body charged with holding a president accountable, through impeachment proceedings. So it would seem at least they would somehow need to be made aware of the information required to make such decisions.
