So Barr's letter was an accurate summary of the Mueller report's conclusions. We don't have to take Mueller's word for it, or the Washington Post's report on Mueller's feelings. THE REPORT IS PUBLIC.
Mueller is pissed because the summary didn't include the generalized mood of his report. Well, tough. It's not the job of the AG to include Mueller's mood. It is his job to announce conclusions of law. Which is what he did.
If Mueller wanted to pursue obstruction, he could have done so. He didn't. Instead, he abdicated, but apparently hoped to push all the damaging material about Trump into the public sphere in the most damaging possible way. Barr demurred.
Again, the Mueller report IS PUBLIC. We've been having fights over it for weeks, now. Barr didn't hide anything. He didn't lie about anything. This is all insane bullcrap.

Yes, the Mueller letter is whiny. It is not the job of the AG to summarize Mueller's feelings about Trump being a Very Bad Man. It is the job of the AG to summarize the CRIMINAL CHARGES.
And spare me the hysterics about how I'm supposedly anti-Mueller. I defended Mueller for years, and continue to defend his actual report. I said on national television that if Trump fired Mueller, impeachment ought to be on the table. The letter is silly. The report is PUBLIC.

1. In this thread, I'll keep track of things Bill Barr says that aren't accurate.
2. First one comes quickly. He said he would exercise his discretion to release as much of the report as possible. That's false. He redacted to protect the privacy of "peripheral third parties" which is a totally made up category with no basis in law.
3. Barr claims Mueller did not properly identify 6(e) -- Grand Jury -- material. Not sure if this is true or not but seems VERY unlikely.

Le #breaking GOAT😉 de la nuit US. Le procureur spécial #Mueller a ÉCRIT au ministre de la Justice #Barr pour lui dire que son relevé de conclusions sur son enquête ne correspondait pas à son rapport sur #Trump. Retournement massif. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
2) Dans cette lettre, #Mueller accuse nommément #Barr d'avoir semé la confusion dans le public avec ses conclusions sur #Trump qui "ne capturent pas pleinement le contexte, la nature et la substance du rapport et de ses conclusions" (#verbatim)
3) D'après le @washingtonpost, dans 1 entretien téléphonique postérieur- mais attention, là, sources indirectes- à la lettre, #Mueller ne reproche pas à #Barr de mentir mais d'avoir présenté des conclusions égarant le public et les médias quant à l'obstruction de #Trump.

Barr and Mueller spoke by phone and while Mueller didn't think Barr's letter was inaccurate, the special counsel believed his report was more nuanced on the obstruction of justice issue, according to DOJ officials. Mueller was frustrated by media coverage. cnn.com/2019/04/30/pol…
House Democrats say they’ve been told Special Counsel Robert Mueller is willing to testify before them about his report on Russian interference in the 2016 election but that the Department of Justice has been unwilling to set a date for it to happen. thedailybeast.com/robert-mueller…

This used to sound like a batso conspiracy theory when written over a month ago, the day after Barr's 4 pages! Now, not so sure. It seems no matter how bad you think it is, it's worse. Now Barr has decided to send Maria Butina back to Russia. #Mueller of #MuellerReport SPEAK UP!
SPEAK UP & SPEAK OUT #Mueller #MuellerReport

#Barr reply to @SenBlumenthal

“There are two different reports…Under the current regulations, the special counsel report is confidential. The report that goes public would be a report by the Attorney General.”

Opposite of reassuring that he'll make Mueller report public.
Senator @maziehirono follows up

"What I am hearing you saying is that...neither Congress nor public will get the Mueller report because that's confidential."

#Barr dodges: will release information "consistent with the regulations"—regulations which he says make it confidential!
Bingo

@SenFeinstein's precise followup:

"There is nothing in the regulations that prevent you from providing Mueller's report to Congress…the regs do not state that confidentiality means the report cannot be provided to Congress…Will you provide Mueller's report to Congress?"
