After Attorney General William Barr published his 4-page summary of the conclusions of the Mueller Report, critics questioned the accuracy of his summary. Barr’s defenders immediately claimed that if the summary was inaccurate, Robert Mueller would loudly object.
Now members of Mueller’s prosecution team are coming forth to dispute Barr’s summary. These anonymous sources say that the summary did not omit information that showed the Trump campaign was duped by Russian intelligence. Details about how Russia carried out the operation and used Trump is included in the report but was missing from the summary.
Also, these sources say that Mueller did not make a determination about whether the evidence supported an obstruction of justice charge because he believed it was a judgment Congress should make. They thought Barr’s summary implied that Mueller and his team was too indecisive about making a decision.
The apparent disagreement between Mueller’s team and Barr can only be resolved when we have the report to read. Let’s hope it happens soon.
