Analysis | One group that wouldn’t be surprised if Barr undersold Mueller’s findings: Most Americans

From left: President Trump, Attorney General William P. Barr and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow April 4 at 9:04 AM Skepticism emerged the very moment that Attorney General William P. Barr released a four-page letter providing an overview of the conclusions reached in the investigation conducted by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.

“[M]embers of Mueller’s team have complained to close associates that the evidence they gathered on obstruction was alarming and significant,” The Washington Post’s Ellen Nakashima, Carol Leonnig and Rosalind Helderman reported. “'It was much more acute than Barr suggested,' said one person, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the subject’s sensitivity.”

A CNN-SSRS poll released last week had a similar conclusion. Most Americans believe Trump wasn’t exonerated of the specific allegation that his campaign had colluded with Russia — a vague phrasing that wasn’t mentioned in Barr’s letter at all — but that, instead, possible coordination couldn’t be proved.

Most Americans did feel, though, that Trump’s team had interacted inappropriately with Russia before his inauguration — a period that includes things like then-national security adviser designate Michael Flynn’s outreach to the Russian ambassador in December 2016.

Is this Barr of Steve Bannon? This guy is Bannon pretending to be Barr.

This is the problem with approving compromised, unqualified nominees- the American people have no faith in the honesty of bedrock American institutions. Even those who say they 'believe', don't. They just don't CARE.

Who would be? Mueller. Since he hasn’t pushed back on Barr the way he did on the press when they were running garbage 🤣 this narrative shifting garbage so you can set up some innocuous part of the report as IMPEACHABLE is transparent and ridiculous. Remember this?

Your reporting of this whole investigation has been disgraceful from a journalistic perspective. Stop promoting unfounded leaks & falsehoods. Let wheels of justice turn without your interference. America deserves so much better from its news sources!

Barrgate

Oh shut up already. Everyone but you jackals know the man is innocent. We are so sick of you democrat 'news' people.

Only a fool would believe you can obstruct something that doesnt exist. Then again, all CollusionTruthers are fools.

If he did the people using it to exonerate the president of all crimes will knee jerk back to calling it fake news.

Give it up. It never happened and you know it. FakeNews

Weird, Trump was just tweeting about how no one cared what the report said anymore...but he never lies so this must be fake news.

Highly likely that’s the case.

Amazing. The media spent 3 years telling the public that Trump colluded. Now, after Trump is exonerated for collusion by the lawyer hired specifically to look for collusion, you point to public opinion that you yourself created. Shameful.

Oh, is ‘undersold’ the soft porn way of saying ‘coverup’? Ok, cool

So what you are saying is members of Mueller team are violating their employment contract. Speaking publicly about matters that are classified The COUP Continues ENEMY of the People

Guessing Bill won't be invited to Bobs house for beers anytime soon.

The cesspool called the trump administration needs drained.

NO! Just the ignorant trump followers, the rest of us have critical thinking skills.

Fake news. Get my IP off of your website.

And, WE Are Most Americans! And, It Matters!

Simple. Nipsey knew he was a target and it wasn’t because of rival gangs. It was something much more powerful. But it’s easy to use gang culture as the culprit. Another gang Thug has been taken out of our great planet and Country......Let them kill each other Hopefully, so other idols that inner city kids look up to and take over his mantle to bring STEM studies to those kids instead of their only way getting out of their situation is gangs or becoming that 1 in a million rap superstar.
