Some on Muellers Team See Their Findings as More Damaging for Trump Than Barr Revealed
By Nicholas Fandos, Michael S. Schmidt and Mark Mazzetti
April 3, 2019
WASHINGTON Some of Robert S. Mueller IIIs 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 counsels office is who shapes the publics initial understanding of one of the most consequential government investigations in American history. Some members of Mr. Muellers team are concerned that, because Mr. Barr created the first narrative of the special counsels findings, Americans views will have hardened before the investigations conclusions become public.
Mr. Barr has said he would move quickly to release the nearly 400-page report but needed time to scrub out confidential information. The special counsels investigators had already written multiple summaries of the report, and some team members believe that Mr. Barr should have included more of their material in the four-page letter he wrote on March 24 laying out their main conclusions, according to government officials familiar with the investigation. Mr. Barr only briefly cited the special counsels work in his letter.
However, the special counsels 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.

(42,770 posts)12. Hmm. So does that mean Mueller was actually finished?
Or did Barr say hurry the fuck up and they hastily wrote summaries?
