Former Rep. David Jolly showed how simple it would be for the DOJ to give Congress access to the full Mueller report.
Jolly tweeted:
Point of background for how simple the process is to provide an unredacted classified version of the Mueller report to Congress.
The full report can be submitted to House Intel as custodian. Members can sign in to read the report w/ no photo/phone devices, and leave w/ no copy.

One novel result is the process also then creates a recorded log of which members took the time to actually read the unredacted version before opining publicly on their conclusions.

There is no good reason for Congress not to have access to the full Mueller report
There are no “security concerns” stopping the Justice Department providing Congress access to the full Mueller report. The real reason why Barr won’t give Congress full access to the report is that it will be damaging for Donald Trump.
It would also be fascinating to have a written record of who signed in to read the report versus those members who never read the report, but went on cable news to spin partisan talking points.
House Democrats are going to sue to get access to the Mueller report, and they will win. The game that the DOJ is playing is part of Trump’s effort to distract and delay Congress from seeing the report until after the 2020 election.
It is all an effort to hide the truth because the truth has the potential to end Donald Trump’s presidency.
