Mueller complained that Barr’s letter did not capture ‘context’ of Trump probe

[christiefan915]

Looks like Mueller's not a happy camper about the way his report was handled.

Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III wrote a letter in late March complaining to Attorney General William P. Barr that a four-page memo to Congress describing the principal conclusions of the investigation into President Trump “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of Mueller’s work, according to a copy of the letter reviewed Tuesday by The Washington Post.

“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.”

...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.

...Mueller’s main worry was that the public was not getting an accurate understanding of the obstruction investigation, officials said."

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.

In his letter to Barr, Mueller wrote that the redaction process “need not delay release of the enclosed materials. Release at this time would alleviate the misunderstandings that have arisen and would answer congressional and public questions about the nature and outcome of our investigation.”

When Barr pressed Mueller on whether he thought Barr’s memo to Congress was inaccurate, Mueller said he did not but felt that the media coverage of it was misinterpreting the investigation, officials said.

It was a last-minute effort by fake news WaPo to do a little gas lighting prior to the Barr interview tomorrow.
Typical tactics...scary headline with the facts buried in the text body.

Then Mueller should've grown a pair, and spelled it out in no uncertain terms, instead of writing a political document. I mean, the guy didn't even attempt a fair assessment of his witch hunt. Whatever. Not even a passing mention of Hillary's bought and paid for pee pee "dossier". Fuck Mueller, history will not look kindly on the traitor. If there were any justice in this world, he and his cohorts would swing from a gibbet.

If true, the upcoming congressional testimony may be very revealing.

Hey dumbass! Mueller is still an employee and 'special investigator lead' of the investigation. He CAN'T!

PS His tenure is said to 'expire' in the next few days! Get his ass in front of the House Committee and SWEAR HIM IN!

Barr probably screwed the pooch on this one, there's documentation everywhere he's been lying since day one

MISS THIS?

" In a cordial and professional conversation, the Special Counsel emphasized that nothing in the Attorney General's March 24 letter was inaccurate or misleading. But, he expressed frustration over the lack of context and the resulting media coverage regarding the Special Counsel's obstruction analysis," she added.

Barr has now been shown to have materially committed perjury while under oath to Congress.

He's fucked.

Fun to watch you run from that, hair on fire.
