So why should Barr be impeached over that? That is absurd. The Barr summary and the Mueller report are 100% in tune.

This whole thing is a tempest in a teapot, imo. If Barr's summary had lied/misled about a key finding, that would be bad. For example, if Barr said something like "Mueller did not find obstruction occurred"...that would be grounds for a resignation.

The wapo report even says the call b/w mueller and barr was friendly and cordial. Mueller was concerned about media speculation (which could be woven as either good or bad for the president), and he believed Barr should have been more specific on the obstruction part.

I don't think Mueller was trying to "call out" Barr.


I don't think Barr should be impeached. People have resigned over lesser mistakes though.

I'm working on a criminal matter at work at the moment and would be pissed if the DAs office (for no apparent reason) summarized my report and left out important context. Not that it would ever happen for small time shite like im working on don't you think an accurate summary would be better?

The Special Counsel's investigation [found that Trump/campaign staff were aware of Russian efforts to interfere with the election and recognized they would benefit from those efforts] but did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it [illegally] conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
As the report states: “[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”

Did the entire report get released ? It sure did . So
anyone could read it , right? You got your context , it wasnt hidden from you . Barr didnt hide it from you . His summarization is mute since you have the entire report .
