No chargeable collusion conspiracy is significant.

Now the remaining question for Barr’s letter defending Trump on *obstruction* is simple:

If the Mueller Report *were at all* helpful to Barr’s argument, why did he avoid quoting *even a single complete sentence* from it?
Every single quoted sentence from The Mueller Report is chopped up. The only quote *about obstruction* is quite negative for Trump - not exonerated - while the positive case for Trump on obstruction are Barr’s words, not Mueller’s.
These are just facts about sources and what we know as of today.

Mueller was on the case for almost 2 years, people were awaiting his findings and legal analysis. Barr just got on the job, and is relevant more for his role - AG - than his mastery of the facts of the probe.
None of this is to prejudge what’s in The Mueller Report, or what Congress would do about it - maybe nothing.

It’s just to keep the facts in mind — America is discussing The Barr Letter today, not the Mueller Report.
