    So I was correct in my statement. I find it funny the hate for Barr when everyone should be mad at Mueller

    Barr be held in contempt? Oh lord no. So scary. Reminds me of how Holder was held in contempt of Congress. Say where is Holder? Behind bars?

    Buried down near the end and absent from the tds baiting headline:

    When Barr pressed him whether he thought Barr’s letter was inaccurate, Mueller said he did not, but felt that the media coverage of the letter was misinterpreting the investigation, officials said.”

    Thanks to the Democrats resistance. They said they would do it and yes they did.

    Trump, this fakir and conman, does not deserve the voters' respect.

    It may be worse than that. It would seem that Barr lied to Congress when he testified that he didn't know if Mueller disagreed with his conclusions. Clearly he did. He wrote a letter about it.

    WAPO states quite persuasively that Mueller and Barr were on the same page.

    So... should we expect this to go on another two years or...? What about four years? A decade?

    Give us an approximate timeline, because "soon" for the past two years hasnt been soon enough.

    He said it was out of context.
    But Rudy will fix it for him. :)

    The White House has so far not commented on the letter, but Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, referring to the obstruction questions, told CNN, "Mueller should have made a decision and shouldn't be complaining or whining now that he didn't get described correctly."
    According to a source familiar with Mueller's letter to Barr and subsequent call with the attorney general, the letter from the special counsel's office came in on March 27. It was first reviewed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's office and is roughly a page in length.

    Barr's world view didn't change when he became Trump's top cop

    After reviewing it, Barr called Mueller the following day. Barr said something to the effect of "we've been friends for a long time, let's talk about this," according to a source with knowledge of the call. The call was described to CNN as polite, but there was clear disagreement.

    Too bad if Mueller did not agree with his boss.

    The problem Mueller faces and the first question to him should be, you took 22 months to investigate collusion with Russia and yet found none. Why did it take 22 months? Why not clarify to the media much sooner that no collusion with Russia had been found? He let the media spin his investigation for two years and never corrected the reporting once. He dragged the investigation past the midterms which effected the outcome of the midterm elections more than Russia did the 2016 elections.

    Lol the only purpose of the summary was to put a trump friendly spin on it. Hell I don’t even blame them, I think most presidents would want that. Not sure all AGs would go along though....

    How was it a friendly spin though? Mueller abdicated the right of judgment to the attorney general, which he had NO right to do in the first place. Had Mueller not abdicated, we're not dealing with this today. The problem lies not in AG Barr, it lies with that jackass we gave unfettered power for two years.

    Mueller did no such thing and I’d bet he’s going to say as much to congress. It’s not up to the AG.

    It literally says in the report that he couldn't make a determination, and left that up to the attorney general, wit large. The man's a coward, and we're cleaning up his mess. Though Democrats lack the mental intelligence to see the situation and are 'praising' him essentially for existing.

    You guys do know that the AG had lied to congress when he stated that he did not know if Mueller agree with him on his summary or not given that he at that time have a letter plus a phone call telling him that there was no agreement by Mueller.

    Look like another of Trump men are looking at possible time behind bars for lying for the President.

    From you posted article..............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.

    Media reporting trying to save face is what the problem is. No collusion, no obstruction, no matter how bad you want it to be so.
