1. Fascinating new letter on the Mueller report from Barr— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) March 29, 2019
One thing that sticks out to me: Barr asserts that his initial letter is NOT A SUMMARY of the report
Seems to be trying to preempt criticism of the report diverging significantly from the tone of his letter https://t.co/2FYf40PLNK
Oh, and the fight is still on:
"The attorney general plans to release the nearly 400-page Mueller report, in redacted form, by mid-April. “Everyone will soon be able to read it.” via @ktbenner https://t.co/IHR1whXRQP— Michael Tackett (@tackettdc) March 29, 2019
Nadler not satisfied. He says the April 2 deadline "still stands." He says he and Barr should work to request a court order to obtain grand jury info, saying there is "ample precedent" for doing so. And he says Barr should testify sooner than May 2 https://t.co/g8RuRooiiv— Manu Raju (@mkraju) March 29, 2019
And this:
So no harm, no foul, right? Besides, nothin' to see here:Notably, Barr says not to call his 4 page letter a "summary." It "was not, and did not purport to be, an exhaustive recounting of the Special Counsel's investigation or report." It was a summary of the "'principal conclusions'--that is, its bottom line."— Shane Harris (@shaneharris) March 29, 2019
Barr says Mueller report is "nearly 400 pages long (exclusive of tabes and appendices." That's twice as long as the Starr report on Bill Clinton. https://t.co/yXyzulIKUg— Justin Miller (@justinjm1) March 29, 2019
The conclusions are all (Clinton wasn't indicted for a crime, or even accused of one. It was the appearance that mattered, not the ability to get a conviction in a court of law for his alleged transgressions, that led to impeachment.).
I don't think this is going away all that fast.
