Lawyers from the Justice Department and the special counsel’s office have gone word by word, sentence by sentence through the nearly 400-page confidential report, using color coding to conceal classified or other protected information.
"It's important that the public see it, and also that the public have confidence [that] what they're seeing is the real thing, and not some partial facsimile of the real thing,” said David S. Kris, a former assistant attorney general for national security in the Obama administration.
“When they have a deadline, they can get it done,” said Mark S. Zaid, a Washington lawyer who works on national security issues. Instead, he said, every page carried a warning that it contained what he called “6 material,” a reference to Rule 6 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which establishes rules for grand jury secrecy.
Besides grand jury evidence, the categories include classified material from U.S. intelligence agencies or allies, information about ongoing investigations, and details that could “unduly infringe on the personal privacy and reputational interests of peripheral third parties.”
