Filling in the gaps between Mueller and Barr


April 4, 2019, 8:47 AM EDT

By Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann

WASHINGTON — There appear to be gaps in the Mueller report — or, more accurately, Attorney General William Barr’s summary of it,

The New York Times and the Washington Post essentially say that Barr was spinning/finessing/covering up Mueller’s findings.

“Some of Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated,” per the Times.

“[M]embers of Mueller’s team have complained to close associates that the evidence they gathered on obstruction was alarming and significant,” the Post adds. “‘It was much more acute than Barr suggested,’ said one person, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the subject’s sensitivity.”

More from the Post: “Some members of the office were particularly disappointed that Barr did not release summary information the special counsel team had prepared, according to two people familiar with their reactions… Summaries were prepared for different sections of the report, with a view that they could made public, the official said.”
