This is part of a national day of protests calling on Attorney General William Barr to make public the entire report of investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Barr last week issued a summary, saying that no evidence of collusion was found between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia. He also said the special counsel had not reached a finding that Trump had obstructed justice, but neither had he exonerated him of that crime.

Release full Meuller report, IG reports on justice department and FBI and Russian Uranium deal.
Bill Barr and Bob Mueller are best friends for over 20 years. The idea that his summary would differ from the actual report really seems like a stretch. He has said he would release a redacted report by mid April. It is my understanding that parts of the report have to be redacted to comply with grand jury protection? Any attorneys out there that can explain it better. Bottom line is he will do what the law requires and said as much in his confirmation hearings. I really don’t know what people hope to gain by protesting other than some sort of personal pleasure about continuing the resistance. It is looking more and more to me like the president will be re-elected. And the democrats are eating their own, like Biden, who probably was the only person who had a legitimate chance of beating him. Get used to protesting because you’re probably going to be doing it for another 6 years.
A 300+ page report, summarized within 24 hours by an AG picked by Trump who got the job because of his written opinions on the investigation.
It is possible that Barr did a great job on the summary, and the evidence in the report will back him up.
It is also possible that Barr did what he could to minimize the nefarious actions of Trump and others.
Either way, congress and the american people need to see this report, in full.
