NYT -Some of Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated, according to government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations.
At stake in the dispute — the first evidence of tension between Mr. Barr and the special counsel’s office — is who shapes the public’s initial understanding of one of the most consequential government investigations in American history. Some members of Mr. Mueller’s team are concerned that, because Mr. Barr created the first narrative of the special counsel’s findings, Americans’ views will have hardened before the investigation’s conclusions become public.
However, the special counsel’s office never asked Mr. Barr to release the summaries soon after he received the report, a person familiar with the investigation said. And the Justice Department quickly determined that the summaries contain sensitive information, like classified material, secret grand-jury testimony and information related to current federal investigations that must remain confidential, according to two government officials.
Mr. Barr was also wary of departing from Justice Department practice not to disclose derogatory details in closing an investigation, according to two government officials familiar with Mr. Barr’s thinking. They pointed to the decision by James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, to harshly criticize Hillary Clinton in 2016 while announcing that he was recommending no charges in the inquiry into her email practices.

They have been leaking and lying for the entirety of the investigation. The Mueller team is entirely devoid of ethics and have been engaged is prosecutorial misconduct for almost two years.
Fake News spinning up again!
“...create the narrative of a coverup”
Exactly. That’s all the Dems need for their brain dead voter base. They’ll “know” all the stuff they will not be able to see was really, really bad for Trump and had to be covered up. Any creative liberal writer could easily make up a story like this regardless if they ever even talked to one of Mule’s hangmen.
Right on cue! Media speaks, leftist carry the water.
It’s very hard to summarize almost 400 pages into only 4 pages and not leave out important stuff, not to mention nuance.
“What does John Cherie Kerry say?’’. He’d say he was in Cambodia. It’s seared into his memory ya know. Seared I tell ya!
Barr.lease have the Inspector General investigate Mueller and his team for any and all charges of illegal actions.
‘more troubling’. Sounds series.
I’m sure they do...
Of course they do! Can’t keep the politics out of it.
“Some on Mueller’s team”
Remember, every single henchman in the Mueller-Weissman Gang was a hardcore leftist democrat. Certainly we don’t expect objectivity out of them, do we?
Dems are going to demand full disclosure and then Trump will declassify EVERYTHING.
This is a classic open-door-into-nose setup.
This is really simple. The TDS fever continues unabated. Barr must be lying.
If Barr lied, he is a fool.
But I don’t think he’s a fool. This is a trap, and all the Dems are running at it full speed ahead. They are going to get smacked AGAIN.
There is no collusion. And unless you think Trump had no right to fire Comey, there’s no obstruction.
Its quite possible Mueller left “bombshells” in the original lreport.
Key phases intended to do Trump harm.
And the dems know it...cause Mueller told them what to look for.
Except Barr didn’t include a single one in his summation.
So the dims don’t have a choice but to push for the full Mueller.
Barr can release what he wants, and that’s that.
Total nonsense.
They just want to get Trump, whether or not he did anything wrong.
So no names, no ‘what there concerns were’, etc. All of the asses would have failed journalism 101. How many repoerters are accepting bribes from the Deep State and DNC?
So the overwhelmingly Democrat staff that was supportive of Hillary and that was pressing Mueller to charge Trump with obstruction for the Dems to save face is now beginning to leak to the Times and congressional Democrats
No one abides by the laws anymore. No ethics, no morals. Anything goes to get what they want and the Republicans set on their asses!
