Okay, we’re starting to put together the beginnings of a tally, which you can see below. Letters after a Reps name are the initials of the TPM Readers who spoke to their offices. Gist so far is that pretty few are changing their position explicitly. But the key is that most GOP Reps are still saying they support releasing the report but then getting squishy about when. This of course can mean in six months or two years. So these are clearly trying to give room for Barr to pursue his run out the clock until January 2021.
If you see a Rep in anything but the “immediate release” category it is worth contacting them to see if they still agree that the report should be released to Congress “immediately.”
