1. Fascinating new letter on the Mueller report from Barr
One thing that sticks out to me: Barr asserts that his initial letter is NOT A SUMMARY of the report
Seems to be trying to preempt criticism of the report diverging significantly from the tone of his letter

2. Report is nearly 400 pages, plus appendices. So far, we haven’t read a single complete sentence of the report
3. Barr says he’s redacting grand jury material but he doesn’t actually have to do this. He could get permission from the judge to release such material. They did it for Watergate.
4. Also redacting info that could compromise the privacy of “peripheral third parties.” Who counts as a peripheral third party? Barr doesn’t say.
