Robert Mueller wrote a letter in late March to Attorney General William Barr objecting to Barr’s early description of the Russia investigation’s conclusions as appearing to clear President Trump on possible obstruction of justice nytimes.com/2019/04/30/us/…
“In once instance, Mr. Barr took Mr. Mueller’s words out of context to suggest that the president had no motive to obstruct justice. In another instance, he plucked a fragment from a sentence in the Mueller report that made a conclusion seem less damaging for the president.”
“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. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
And: “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.” washingtonpost.com/world/national…
