The report is expected to answer one of the most urgent remaining questions: why Mueller declined to make a decision on whether to charge Trump with obstructing justice

Attorney General William Barr is set to release a redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report Thursday, and the document could leave everyone unsatisfied — President Donald Trump, lawmakers and the public.

The report itself will be colourful — literally. Barr plans to hold back parts of the almost 400-page report, promising a colour-coded system to identify the multiple reasons that certain information can’t currently be shared with Congress or the public. Mueller spent nearly two years conducting one of the most consequential investigations in recent U.S. history into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and whether Trump or any of his associates conspired in the operation.

Barr is going beyond what’s required under Justice Department regulations by sharing any of the report. The regulations require only that he inform Congress if the special counsel was prevented from taking a significant action. Barr has said there was no such situation.Trump and his lawyers are bracing for new revelations that could be damaging to the president, his family members or close associates.

Barr told lawmakers Mueller didn’t establish that Trump or people associated with his campaign conspired with Russia in its campaign interference “despite multiple efforts by Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign.” The attorney general also could withhold details of internal White House deliberations, citing executive privilege. He told lawmakers on April 9 that he decided not to seek Trump’s input and had “no plans” to assert the privilege traditionally asserted by presidents who say they need to be able to have private conversations.They don’t need any more pre-damage control or spin from @realDonaldTrump’s hand-picked attorney general, William Barr.

The redactions could be extensive, if a filing on Monday by the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia is any clue. Prosecutors used that filing to bat back a request by the Washington Post to unseal redacted material in the criminal case against Manafort, who was sentenced to 90 months in jail in two separate cases.
