Mueller personally told AG that he had mischaracterized the investigation's findings

I have to be honest: I never read that "no collusion" in Barr's summary that Trump touted all the time. Yes, it grossly downplayed a lot of mayor things in the report (as now illustrated by Mueller himself), but I don't jump to the conclusion that just because Barr downplayed the investigation result and withheld the report for some more weeks, he is therefore an accomplice.

At this point, I think he's "merely" being extremely naive. And...he did release the (redacted) report in the end, right? :unsure:
In his own link Xzi gave us it says in 2 different paragraphs that Mueller found Barrs summary to be accurate. He just wanted better context provided that is all. I pointed this out in another thread but I guess he’s ignoring that.


I’m waiting for them to get nothing out of Mueller then afterwards learn he and Barr have been good friends for years and accuse him of teaming up with Barr. I already heard them accuse Mueller of being a Republican and a Puppet of Russia so i’m not too far off.


The whole Barr hearing was just bad. They are trying to get him on this summary debacle. Complaining that his summary hiding something, but we have access to the 448 page Mueller Report now, so how can Barr mislead us if we can read the report ourselves and read Mueller’s words is beyond me. And would be stupid if Barr did hide something because of the eventual release of the Report which Mueller assisted in redacting.



It’s just more games which i’m already tired of at this point.

Barr is the one attempting to keep Mueller from testifying, and Barr called the letter of concern sent to him by Mueller "snitty" during his Senate hearing. They certainly seem to be at odds with each other as it stands now.

eh, between "Trump derrangement syndrome" or "Orange man bad" posts that pop in the threads without any rebuttal but as drive by snark, its hard to take them as something of substance to the current conversation. nothing personal though since i dont believe we have met.

Could you explain why anything Lindsey Graham says matters?

In order to win re-election, he has to defend Trump at every turn, even though he used to be one of his biggest critics.


Because he chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee?

He's inviting Mueller to testify as to whether Barr lied or not. This is a problem?

First, chairing the Senate Judiciary Committee is irrelevant. He's a hack.

Second, inviting Mueller to testify is not a problem at all. My problem is with his motives.

Well, it's relevant because it means he has the authority to extend the invitation.

Lacius, as I said earlier in the thread I wasn't following this too closely at first. I've read a bit more now. I would ask you, what exactly was the content of the question/answer exchange in which you feel Barr lied? I mean quote it verbatim please. And explain why you think it's a lie.

Not sure whether you read past the headlines as your sources literally say Mueller has not agreed to anything at all.
Oh they must've edited the headline and details of the story as they emerged. None the less, the 15th still seems to be the plan if at all possible:

Axios said:
"Just to clarify: we are aiming to bring Mueller in on the 15th, but nothing has been agreed to yet. That’s the date the Committee has proposed, and we hope the Special Counsel will agree to it. Sorry for the confusion."
