Even that wouldn’t matter. In the only case on point, a circuit court of appeal held that they wouldn’t impose confidentiality obligations on the Judiciary Committee because it would impinge Congress’s constitutional authority. The Judiciary Committee is free to share the grand jury materials with Congress and even the public.

Congress has the inherent authority to see these materials because of their impeachment power, and for a similar reason the courts of held that the Judiciary Committee’s receipt of the materials falls into the “judicial proceeding” exception of FRCP Rule 6e.
Speaking only for myself, I never knew grand jury secrecy was an issue until recently. And I can't recall a case where I held an opinion such that I would have expressed an opinion, pro or con.
And for me, here's the very bottom line: I want EVERYTHING revealed re: this whole "mess." The libs don't share that desire. They want ONLY something that might hurt Trump revealed. I also want ALL documents revealed re: obummer's crap, Holder's, Lynch's, and especially Krooked Killary's. Isn't it amazing that there is a Congressional "gag" order on all things related to the most corrupt administration in history, and no one says a word.
What's good for the goose...or in this case, the Goosey...is good for the gander. I say release the full Mueller Report, Trump's tax returns, and any other documents the salivating left wants...but ONLY AFTER...all documents are released re: the crooked obummer et al. Now, that's a good deal, right?
The senate will never vote to impeach Trump. The only Republican that might vote to impeach him would be dumbass Romney. All you need to do is take a look at Romney's religion to figure out how batshit crazy he is. He dug up his Father-in-law so he could baptize him into his fake religion over a year after he died.
As I understand it, Barr did release the full unreacted report to Congress in that special building and room for all of them to go read and see. However not a single Democrat went to read it.
And then all smit broke loose when he called their bluff, words flew back and forth and none of them came to read it. Now the Dems are holding him in political contempt just for theater.
House impeaches, Senate convicts.
Trump is actively trying to goad the House into impeaching, but they are unlikely to do it unless they think the Senate would actually convict. Republicans are spineless so that is probably not going to happen. But that isn’t going to stop the House Democrats from attempting to do their oversight, even if that only means they can “investigate” until such time as the Republicans might have a change of heart.
