Well, you are one of those who believes Trump never lies:

Yes he punted, and Barr decided to protect his boss rather then do what he was legally required to do.

Prosecutors working for Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded last year that they had sufficient evidence to seek criminal charges against President Donald Trump for obstruction of justice over the president’s alleged pressuring of then FBI Director James Comey in February 2017 to shut down an FBI investigation of the president’s then national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
Privately, the two prosecutors, who were then employed in the special counsel’s office, told other Justice Department officials that had it not been for the unique nature of the case—the investigation of a sitting president of the United States, and one who tried to use the powers of his office to thwart and even close down the special counsel’s investigation—they would have advocated that he face federal criminal charges. I learned of the conclusions of the two former Mueller prosecutors not by any leak, either from them personally or from the office of special counsel. Rather, the two prosecutors disclosed this information in then-confidential conversations with two other federal law enforcement officials, who subsequently recounted what they were told to me.
On March 24, without consulting with Mueller, Attorney General William Barr declared that in the absence of a final judgment by Mueller as to whether or not the president broke the law, he, the attorney general, had taken it upon himself to make that determination in a summary he sent to Congress. Barr decided that Trump wouldn’t be charged with a crime. But many career Justice Department employees, former prosecutors for the special counsel, and legal scholars have questioned the propriety and legitimacy of Barr’s making such a decision.
Given the Justice Department’s longstanding doctrine that a president cannot face criminal indictment while in office, Mueller suggested in his report that Congress could still act: the special counsel made more than twenty references in his report to Congress’s impeachment power. But the House Democratic leadership has spoken of impeachment proceedings in only the most tentative way, and some Democratic lawmakers have expressed outright disapproval
Only for collusion, and obstruction. He never obtained Trumps bank records, or who Trump was indebted to.
Congress is, but useful idiots like you will still defend your lying coward.
1) you are a dishonest hack. I said Barr did not lie about the Mueller report and you respond with nonsense about Trump lying? Not once have i ever stated any such nonsense. But you lied and now you are trying to spin. Barr did not lie about the report.
2) you clearly have no clue. Barr is the AG. It is absolutely up to him to decide if the DoJ brings charges on anything Mueller didn't. Congress can disagree and impeach of they think there is a case. What is it you think Barr was legally supposed to do that he didn't do?
3) there is no reason Mueller should have gone fishing through Trumps past financials. Unless you are also saying the IRS is ok inept?
