    Read the letter, he didn't.

    "When Barr pressed Mueller on whether he thought Barr’s memo to Congress was inaccurate, Mueller said he did not but felt that the media coverage of it was misinterpreting the investigation, officials said."

    Mueller's problem is with the press not Barr.

    Who can blame Mueller for being frustrated at the behavior of the leftist propaganda machines misleading the public? They essentially were doing the very thing he highlighted Putin wanted....spread division and chaos

    Indeed, and now the Russians have a model for causing chaos and confusion and division in the USA; and it takes so little effort on their part.

    Yes. Because "the left", and stuff.

    It wasn't all of the gullible RW morons sharing tweets and FB posts from Russians, or actually showing up at Trump rallies that those ****ers scheduled for them.

    Nosirree. "The left".

    Unbelievable.

    I would say no, he disagreed with what he released because he thought it misleading.

    Barr's in a tough spot now because he's talking about the Mueller report, which is not something he was actually involved. Barr is the AG for Trump because Barr's view of the executive's power is that the president has virtually unlimited power with respect to any action taken by the Executive Branch. Nixon could fire Archibald Cox … and the entire DOJ for that matter … without ever obstructing justice. Hopefully most of us don't agree regardless of what party the potus belongs too, but it is a view and one that the W administration pushed vigorously.

    But the issue is not now about Barr's view of the constitution. It's about Mueller's report. I thought Barr ****ed up by ever offering an opinion on something that he was never a part of. He should have just said, "We're working night and day on redacting classified material, and will get the report to congress and then the media within a week. Have nice day."

    This indicates that you are not actually familiar with Mueller's complaint. Allow me to be of assistance:

    ...

    As we stated in our meeting of March 5 and reiterated to the Department early in the afternoon of March 24, the introductions and executive summaries of our two-volume report accurately summarize this Office's work and conclusions. The summary letter the Department sent to Congress and released to the public late in the afternoon of March 24 did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this Office's work and conclusions. We communicated that concern to the Department on the morning of March 25. There is now public confusion about the critical aspects of the results of our investigation. This threatens to undermine a central purpose for which the Department appointed the Special Counsel: to assure full public confidence in the outcome of the investigations. See Department of Justice, Press Release (May 17, 2017).

    While we understand that the Department is reviewing the full report to determine what is appropriate for public release---a process that our Office is working with you to complete---that process need not delay release of the enclosed materials. Release at this time would alleviate the misunderstandings that have arisen and would answer congressional and public questions about the nature and outcome of our investigation. It would also accord with the standard for public release of notifications to Congress cited in your letter. ...

    The Mueller report says otherwise. He says they offered help but Trump people did not accept.

    Did Mueller mention that the "Russians" were operatives from Western Intelligence Agencies hoping to entrap the Trump campaign and administration?

    Why should there be impeachment if Trump is better for the Dems in office so that they can hit like a pinata.

    Obstruction evidence exists and it awaits the next administration to act on.

    A dozen other investigations continue.

    Neither Trump nor the administration has been exonerated.

    Yeah. I just learned that Obama paid Fusion GPS almost $1 Million too. WTF?

    So, in recap.

    • Obama allowed Veselnitskaya to return after expulsion from the US
    • Who then met with Glenn Simpson the night before the Trump Tower meeting (which she initiated under false pretenses)
    • She then met again with Glenn Simpson the night after the Trump Tower meeting
    • Fusion GPS created the Fake Clinton Steele Dossier which had Russian Collusion to create

    Note: Glenn Simpson runs Fusion GPS

    LOL now you don't want to impeach trump because it help the dems. Good grief you move the goal posts more than anyone I've ever seen. Like Barr just said Muellors investigation was to conclude if the President committed anything reached a level of criminality and it point blank did NOT. So I'll sit back and relish what you've told us:

    Trump colluded with Russia
    Trump was a Russian agent
    Trump was going to be convicted of treason
    Mules had the collusion goods
    Mules was going to charge JR
    The house was going to impeach

    hmm the past 3 years have been nothing but complete BS predictions by you, the Dems and the media. Now your claiming you could impeach but it helps the dems that they don't. Wow this is Gold watching your side tap dance every dumb prediction you've made.

    ROFL I think he has been quite clear and that the Democrats are the ones stumbling as each of their specious points is being flushed down the toilets.

    Nadler apparently got a "loose" pledge from Mueller to appear May 23. Seems like a long time to wait on the "only reliable" DOJ opinion.

    :) The rwnjs are running around in circles while Trump loses traction and the Dems gain momentum.

    Rasmussen continues to be the exception that proves the rule. The right wing extremists will now show us they do not the dif between opinion and predictive polls.
