No... it is saying that Barr failed to convey the gravity of Mueller's findings in his summary because he didn't include details which were unfavorable to Trump.
over reacting much? "America's views will have hardened"No, they didn't name sources but if true, this confirms the worst fears about Barr... He is a political partisan and his summary of the Mueller team's findings can't be trusted.
that's what anyone would have done. No one was just to plop out the full report for public consumption.We don't know what is going on behind the scenes. Barr has released a statement separate from the summary clarifying that it was just a "summary of the principle conclusions" and trying to explain why certain redactions would be made. This shouldn't surprise anyone... of course, William Barr was always going to initially present a watered down summary of Mueller's findings, as low on specifics as possible and high on generalizations and legalese. The next course of action is to redact as much as possible from the report before it is revealed to Congress. This is exactly why Trump nominated him for Attorney General in the first place... and to ensure that he would never be charged with any crimes, of course.
I would say first of all that if you were to tell me I was reading a “summary” of anything, I would know not to expect the details as to how that summary was reached. Like reading the abstract of a scientific study, you don’t know the details unless you read through the actual methods and results in the full paper.
In this case, if I’m correct about this, after the Clinton/Starr investigation, the decision was made to not release the full report due to confidentiality/sensitivity of the information. So I’m also not surprised it’s taking some time to redact those parts. I don’t need to believe that every step is a nefarious action to hide wrong doing for it to make sense.
Lastly, over two, almost three years, we’ve seen multiple media outlets saying they have proof positive of some connection/allegation, only to find out it’s not true or a very broad brush stroke of the actual truth. So I also don’t trust some generic comment by an anonymous source to The Times to be the missing link in a three year story.
the decision is a law. so Barr would be breaking the law to give the dems what they want.

An unredacted copy can be requested and reviewed by Congress in closed doors under oath but a full unredacted report can't be released to the public. It's enough for me for Congress to see it as that means both sides get to see everything and then they can react on it.
Barr's conclusions were never going to be unbiased and the general public won't accept it.

no, the story will just shift again.An unredacted copy can be requested and reviewed by Congress in closed doors under oath but a full unredacted report can't be released to the public.

They aren't Barr's conclusions.......you do understand the conclusions came from the Mueller investigation, Barr's write up was a synopsis of the main points of said investigation.........what are you talking about?
Mueller specifically said his report did NOT exonerate Trump from obstruction after a 2+ year long investigation. Days later Barr comes to his own conclusion that Trump is suddenly exonerated from obstruction. Conflicting statements much?! GTFO
That is the height of hypocrisy. Really takes the cake.Don Lemon... says let it go man...as in what difference does it make now!
Thoughts...?
GOP lawmakers have called on Attorney General William Barr to assign a special counsel to look into former top DOJ officials like former FBI Director James Comey, former deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, as well as ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
During his nightly handoff with Chris Cuomo about the release of the Mueller Report, the "CNN Tonight" host dismissed the calls by GOP lawmakers to investigate the investigators as “whataboutism.”
“Well, let’s go back and investigate the investigators, and then we’re going to go back and investigate the administration before that, and then we’ll go back investigate somebody who was there about the FISA, and all of these things, all of these things have been investigated already,” Lemon said after mocking Republicans. “President Obama is not the president anymore. People in there are not in office anymore. We need to hold accountable the people who are in office. Many of those things, all of them, have been investigated. Most of it has turned out not to have any degree of truth to them at all. That whole thing - Uranium One, FISA, and all those things. It’s just pure and utter madness and hypocrisy on top of it and not serving the American people at all.”
First off not putting the exoneration in the report was Muellers professional jab at Trump. That is literally it. His job was to investigate and toss people in jail. He did that. By not having anymore indictments or sealed indictments he left the interpretation up to the AG. Well guess what? No more indictments? Off the hook. Thats how it works homie.Mueller specifically said his report did NOT exonerate Trump from obstruction after a 2+ year long investigation. Days later Barr comes to his own conclusion that Trump is suddenly exonerated from obstruction. Conflicting statements much?! GTFO
