After submitting the report to Attorney General Barr with HIS summations?
Barr disregarded the Mueller conclusions which where critical of President Trump’s actions….
Mueller responded with written challenges to Barr’s 4 page exoneration of Trump and followed up a phone call further advancing his disagreement with how Barr explained the Special Counsel’s investigation’s conclusions…
This should NOT be a surprise…
There have been leaks from the Mueller team expressing the same dissatisfaction with Barr’s view that Donald Trump was NOT guilty of obstruction of justice on several occasions…
This story is the headliner across the media and resurrects the idea that Trump was NOT given a ‘clean legal bill’ against ‘collusion’ to shut down efforts to investigate him and his campaign….
How ironic?
Trump’s lawyers are suing two banks in an effort to stop them from forwarding, under subpoena his bank records…
The guy has an aversion to the sunlight of what he does?
I mean he’s the damn President….
We WANT to know about ‘who’ he is?
“The summary letter the Department sent to Congress and released to the public late in the afternoon of March 24 did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions,” Mueller wrote. “There is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation. This threatens to undermine a central purpose for which the Department appointed the Special Counsel: to assure full public confidence in the outcome of the investigations.”
A redacted version of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report was released to the public on April 18. Here’s what’s in it.
The letter made a key request: that Barr release the 448-page report’s introductions and executive summaries, and it made initial suggested redactions for doing so, according to Justice Department officials.
A spokesman for Mueller declined to comment.

Justice Department officials said Tuesday that they were taken aback by the tone of Mueller’s letter and that it came as a surprise to them that he had such concerns. Until they received the letter, they believed Mueller was in agreement with them on the process of reviewing the report and redacting certain types of information, a process that took several weeks. Barr has testified to Congress previously that Mueller declined the opportunity to review his four-page memo to lawmakers that distilled the essence of the special counsel’s findings…..
Note….
Mueller wants to come in from the cold and testify in front of Congress….
“House Democrats tell The Daily Beast they’ve been told Special Counsel Robert Mueller is willing to testify before them about his report on Russian interference in the 2016 election but that the Department of Justice has been unwilling to set a date for it to happen.”
“The impasse comes as lawmakers have grown increasingly frustrated over Attorney General Bill Barr’s handling of the release of the Mueller probe and as other Trump World figures have declined to appear before congressional committees.”….
