Analysis: 5 takeaways from William Barr’s letter about releasing the Mueller report

By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow March 29 at 4:51 PM We learned Friday that we will see some version of the full Mueller report soon.

It’s important to note that it hadn’t been clear we would see some version of the full report at all. Barr said at his confirmation hearing earlier this year that the report was meant to be submitted to the attorney general but added, “I don’t know, at the end of the day, what will be release-able.” There was some thought that perhaps Barr would simply summarize its findings for Congress and the public. Now Barr is saying we will get a version of the full report.

No. 2 is notable, because it suggests that the report could include information that might pertain to counterintelligence matters. We learned relatively recently that in the aftermath of FBI Director James. B. Comey’s firing, the bureau opened a counterintelligence probe into whether President Trump might be compromised by the Russians. A few days later, Mueller was appointed. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B.

4. A message for the media and critics of his letter There has been plenty of criticism of what Barr said and disclosed — and didn’t disclose — in his letter Sunday summarizing the principal conclusions of the Mueller report.“I am aware of some media reports and other public statements mischaracterizing my March 24, 2019, supplemental notification as a ‘summary’ of the Special Counsel’s investigation and report,” he wrote. “For example, Chairman [Jerrold] Nadler’s [D-N.Y.

Ever since Barr’s letter Sunday, Democrats have agitated for the complete report. This suggests that, at the very least, Barr is sensitive to their concerns — if not acting upon them by throwing them a bone. The fact that he’s arguing that his brief summary wasn’t a summary of the whole report suggests that he’s listening.

It’s not ok!!!!!!!!

William Barr is covering for trump

They should check if there is no twisting in that report... lies over lies

Go to the street and demand for the truth!

It only took Barr 24 hours to get through the entire report, make conclusions, and report a summary to Congress? If there isn’t anything of concern regarding Russian contact, and not enough for obstruction, then what will take 3 weeks

Again, this 'letter' should have come out of the AG office First. Barr lost all of my respect and trust with his attempt to placate the public on Sunday. Now he looks like a snake trying to escape the snake pit with promises of he won't bite me...Let me read it ...🤔

Read: Attorney General William Barr's letter to judiciary committee leaders about the Mueller reportSpecial counsel Robert Mueller delivered his completed investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election to Attorney General William Barr, the Justice Department announced Friday. 🇺🇸 If Mueller has evidence beyond a reasonable doubt against Trump, BARR STILL WOULDN'T INDICT TRUMP. This is DOJ POLICY Hence, Mueller wouldn't even have asked Barr to deny an indictment. So Barr has no SCR requirement to notify Congress SO Congress must see the evidence NOW!
