The Law Should Warn Barr of the Liability of not Releasing the Report

  William Barr should release the Mueller Report in its entirety, instead of just summarizing it. The law says:
   "Whoever corruptly . . . alters . . . or conceals a . . . document . . . with the intent to impair the object's integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding . . . shall be fined . . . or imprisoned . . ."
  If Barr leaves it to a summary, he leaves himself open to charges he altered the report. Is not a summary an altering? If he does not release the full thing, he is concealing that document. Even if you provide a summary, you are still concealing the document, itself.
   Yes, it does say he must have intent to impair the integrity of the report. But, considering the background of his hiring, he is certainly open to concern that he is trying to impair what the report actually says.
