On Thursday, the House passed a bill urging the public disclosure of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report. There are reasons that Justice Department guidelines don’t require the full release of the Mueller report, including not releasing information obtained via grand jury and not publicizing allegations that don’t lead to actual indictments. At one point he was a leading advocate for a bill to protect Mueller from being fired by Trump. (Since becoming Judiciary Committee chairman and having the power to actually move such a bill, Graham has backed off and said there’s no need.) Time will tell whether it was the right call politically to ignore a bill the House passed 420-0.
