When Barr released his summary of the Mueller report, few besides die-hard republicans were happy. Apparently, Mueller was one of those people who were frustrated by Barr’s report.

According to a source in the justice department speaking to the AP, Mueller wrote a letter to Barr days after the report dropped. According to the source, Mueller’s letter expressed frustration that Barr’s report misrepresented the team’s findings.

According to a Justice Department spokesperson, “In a cordial and professional conversation, the Special Counsel emphasized that nothing in the Attorney General’s March 24 letter was inaccurate or misleading. But, he expressed frustration over the lack of context and the resulting media coverage regarding the Special Counsel’s obstruction analysis.”

Barr is now being called upon to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. Barr may not appear, which the Washington Post claims should be an impeachable move.

Patrick Cotter, former federal prosecutor at the Justice Department and colleague of Barr from the 1990s, said, “I’m not sure why Barr felt this was the appropriate way to go about handling potentially privileged information.” Cotter went on to explain that Barr had better options he could have pursued, such as setting up an independent committee to review the report for sensitive information.

Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, delivered an impassioned speech presenting his own evidence that Trump is guilty of collusion. Schiff’s diatribe follows House Republicans on the committee calling for Schiff to resign.

Although the report was objectively good news, many are furious that no one has seen the report yet––only the Barr letter. Six Democratic committee chairs in the House have demanded that the Mueller report be released by April 2, though Mitch McConnell blocked the release of the report.
