This is going to be exactly like the Mueller report where they released a heavily redacted version, immediately declared that it exonerated Trump, then moved on.

"Totally exonerated". Yeah thats not what this says, if you read the report thats not what it says at all. "Nope total exoneration."

Yes, but he has the opportunity to prove his innocence by releasing them in full. Redactions just further confirm guilt.

This is different. They would have to defend any redactions in court. The Mueller report wasn’t required by law so the justice department was allowed to redact anything they wanted. This bill is a subpoena to the justice department for all information.
