Editorial: 14 days. Americans should count the days until the Mueller report is released to Congress. – The Boston Globe

Saturday, April 06, 2019

Fourteen days. That’s how long Attorney General William Barr has withheld the Mueller report from Congress and the public. It’s hard to imagine a legitimate reason for his foot-dragging, and disturbing leaks should deepen the urgency for members of Congress who are seeking to pry the full document out of his hands.
