Here’s more via CNS News:

Even before Special Counsel Robert Mueller sends his Trump-Russia report to Attorney General William Barr, members of Congress are fighting to get a look at it.

Leading the charge is Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the new chairman of the House intelligence committee, who insists that Mueller’s report be released not only to Congress but to the public, even though the rules governing special counsels don’t guarantee such a release.

“Bill Barr has committed in his testimony to making as much of the report public as he can,” Schiff told ABC’s “This Week.” “And the regulations allow him to make it all (public). We’re going to insist on it becoming public.”

And what if Barr doesn’t release the full report?

Well, we will obviously subpoena the report, we will bring Bob Mueller in to testify before Congress, we will take it to court if necessary," Schiff said. "And in the end, I think the Department understands they're going to have to make this public. I think Barr will ultimately understand that as well.

Barr comes into this job with two strikes against him. He applied for the job by be demonstrating a bias against the Mueller investigation. Indeed that's part of the reason he was hired. He's also not been willing to commit to following the advice of the ethics lawyers. Indeed that was part of the reason he was hired.

If he were try to withhold, to try to bury any part of this report, that will be his legacy and it will be a tarnished legacy. So I think there'll be immense pressure not only on the department, but on the attorney general to be forthcoming.

Schiff vowed that he will get to the bottom of the “collusion” he believes is evident: “We are going to share this information with the public, and if the president is serious about all of his claims of exoneration, then he should welcome the publication of this report.”

George Stephanopoulos went on to ask Schiff if has evidence of collusion with Russia, and of course he said there was plenty of evidence the campaign colluded.

But that isn’t true.

The Senate Intel Committee said they have zero evidence of collusion, but somehow Schiff has it all? C’mon. Schiff lies and conflates. That’s all this is.

As to the preemptive threats from Schiff, well it just goes to show you how ridiculous Democrats have become, that they would suggest that the new Attorney General would actually bury evidence of collusion or wrongdoing just to protect Trump.
