First ever excerpt of Mueller Report, released by AG Barr just now.
the precedent for investigations that raise potential *obstruction* by a President is that Congress decides, or chooses whether to decide the issue (Clinton, Nixon) — not that an A.G. steps in to short-circuit the process.

If there were *other really good things* for Trump in this Report, wouldn’t Barr include them in this letter asserting no obstruction?
But there are just 4 short quotes, none of which are a full sentence
On election conspiracy, it’s clear: no chargeable collusion.
On obstruction, it’s not clear, Mueller left it open, now Barr is *trying to close it with selective excerpts
