The indictments Barr *did discuss* n his press conference "about" the Mueller probe:

Russian nationals and orgs

Indictments Barr did *not* ever mention, by category or name:

Manafaort
Gates
Cohen
Stone
Flynn
Papadopoulos
Van Der Zwaan
Craig
Pinedo

Barr avoiding mention of the indictments of Americans is notable for a few reasons:

Several of those charges relate to *obstruction* crimes, which the DOJ takes very seriously, as accountability for obstruction is considered vital to the integrity of investigations...

And obstruction by the President’s aides or former advisers may be relevant to the investigation of potential obstruction by the President.

(Something to watch for in the Report.)

The charges against Americans include Flynn, Manafort & others, which make them legally significant results from this probe and instructive for how the probe investigated key figures who were identified at the start of the probe (even before election or Mueller’s appointment)

...in other words, the probe began by investigating certain individuals, several of them have been convicted, so Barr *avoiding mentioning that at all* is unusual.

Barr claims his presentation reflects his “bottom line” of what the Mueller probe found.

He didn't even *mention* Mueller indicting 6 advisers to Trump and other Americans.

That is a suspicious way to define what Mueller did and found.
