TJ, all of the people asking to see the non-redacted copy of the report can in-fact see the non-redacted copy of the report in a SCIF. They don't want to see it. Why do you think they have already moved on to Trump's tax returns? You are better than this man. Don't fall for it.

Also, think about this for a minute. A good number of the house democrats are lawyers and couldn't even be trained by their staff lawyers to ask Barr the proper questions. These people wanted nothing to do with Barr the 2nd day of his testimony which is why they requested their staff interview him, knowing Barr would say no.

Truth is, Dems care more about eating KFC on the house floor than getting to the bottom of any "investigation"

Then release the report and let them look like idiots. If that report comes out in unaltered form (aside from anything pertinent to the ongoing SDNY investigation) and absolutely nothing about the substance of it is changed, Democrats have dug their own grave for 2020. If it isn't released, the doubts continue to mount and Trump's in deep dookie in a year if something damaging does come out of this. Unless there's something in there he absolutely does not want people seeing, there's no reason not to let CNN and MSNBC implode and take the Democratic Party with them.

I think you are wrong regarding Congress having any right to see an unredacted report.  Congressional oversight is always supposed to be general questions that help them revise statutes that will affect many cases.  Judges are the ones who are supposed to have access to more specific information about one case.
I think the House judiciary committee had the right to compel Barr to testify and answer questions from anyone they designate.  Barr could have cited statutes that prevent him from answering, but he needed to show up and speak. 
I also think Barr intentionally deceived Congress and the public. But that's not why they are about to hold Barr in contempt.  
Congress has grounds to hold Barr in contempt or impeach him, but they're citing different grounds for some reason. And pirkster is right about the less-redacted version that's available to six Democrats and six Republicans in the SCIF. Though Barr didn't have to provide it, the fact that no Democrat has actually shown up at the SCIF to see shows that they are not being honest about their true intentions.
