Investigators on Robert Mueller’s team are vexed at Attorney General William Barr’s characterization of the special counsel’s report. They say Barr “failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry,” The New York Times reported on Wednesday.
Hours later, The Washington Post corroborated this account, reporting that some members of Mueller’s team had expressed frustration at the attorney general’s March 24 summary to Congress in which he absolved President Donald Trump of any obstruction of justice.
A number of special counsel investigators told associates that the evidence they gathered on the question of obstruction was both “alarming and significant,” the Post reported. The paper also quoted a person familiar with the probe as saying the evidence was “much more acute than Barr suggested.”
Further details were not provided.

Investigators on Robert Mueller’s team were reportedly frustrated by the summary Attorney General William Barr issued to Congress on March 24.
Some investigators were particularly miffed that Barr had not released the official summaries of the report that their team had prepared, the Post reported. One official told the paper that the special counsel report was written in such a way that would have allowed “the front matter from each section ... [to be] released immediately — or very quickly” to the public.
“It was done in a way that minimum redactions, if any, would have been necessary, and the work would have spoken for itself,” the official said.
However, two unnamed government officials told the Times that the Justice Department had determined that these summaries contained sensitive information, including classified material.
Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), speaking to MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Wednesday night, questioned why Barr had felt “the need to release his own summary” instead of releasing the summaries produced by Mueller’s team.
“Why didn’t he release a summary produced by Bob Mueller himself instead of trying to shape it through his own words?” Schiff, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, said.
RE: Mueller’s Team Says Report Had More Troubling Details About Trump Than Revealed
Interesting... fact is that obstruction is a non-issue. In fact, we have never seen this level of transparency. In 2 years, has there ever been a story about Trump using executive privilege or Mueller being unable to get access to information to assist in his investigation? No.

Mueller passed on obstruction of justice. After 2 years, and a fleet of lawyers and FBI agents who were biased against Trump performing the investigation, Mueller STILL couldnt find enough evidence for obstruction of justice.
So either there was none, or team taint was a bunch of incompetent boobs. Your choice.

There wasn’t any evidence. But no way was team taint not going to throw the dogs (dems) a bone. Something they could rally their NPCs around and keep them frothing at the mouth. Fool me once shame on me. Fool me twice and call me a democrat.

One source said
Unarmed government “officials”
One official told
Details were not provided
Quoted a person familiar
Investigators told associates
Members of “mueller’s team”
IOW’s not a SINGLE credible, corroborated source for any of this.
When do you folks tire of being led around by your nose? What has MUELLER said in response to Barr’s summary?
Yea, exactly. AND he’s working with Barr on the release.
But, is what it is: useful idiots be useful I guess...
