Barr reiterates that Mueller is currently participating in the redaction process, and says the rationale for all redactions will be specifically explicated. Barr says the Report will be issued "within a week," consistent with what he said all along. Another blow to the truthers.

Barr says the DOJ IG is working on a review of FISA process as it relates to Trump/Russia investigation (phony Dossier was cited to obtain warrant on Carter Page.) Says review will be complete in May or June. Barr also overseeing a separate, wider review. Reckoning coming soon.

Barr affirms his willingness to testify before the Judiciary Committees about all aspects of the Report once it is released. Also says he will work with Rep. Nadler to provide further information about redacted portions. Zero indication of any coverup or second-order conspiracy.

Mueller complied with the special counsel regs, as he should, and did nothing more. It's ridiculous to infer that Mueller not reviewing the AG's "summary" means anything.
-
He's saying that Mueller was OFFERED to review the summary and declined, so it's fair to INFER that Mueller trusted Barr's summary.

That does not stand to reason at all. It sounds like Barr reviewed a report of over 400 pages, in less than 48 hours, (an impossible task) and drew his own conclusions, which Mueller did not stand by. As a Trump appointee, he did what Trump would have wanted.
-
The 4 page memo specifically said review was ongoing and he was providing a summary of the principal conclusions. Not the full 400 pages. The conclusions in the report are probably summarized in under 20 pages.

It's early here and I thought you were talking about Bill Burr and I was really confused about when he got super involved in politics.

Not necessarily. It may mean Mueller did not want to appear in anyway to have approved the letters or the summary as he felt they were perpetrating an attempted cover up. He has known all along he will eventually speak to Congress.
-
Such a horrible take, seriously if they felt a cover up was going to happen all he had to do was not punt on obstruction of justice and boom they all fall. So this makes zero sense.

Man, I wonder how Maddow is going to spin this one. Her show is too cringey to watch but I look forward to your summary tomorrow, Mike

You give Mueller too much credit. Mueller probably passed up on reviewing it to cast doubt on Barr interpretations and unbiased views.
-
Don’t forget that Barr and Mueller are long-time personal friends. We don’t know Mueller well enough to imagine what that entails, in terms of tact, loyalty, trust, and non-interference in how another guy does his job. We do know Barr has eccentric views on executive power.

Barr forgets he has to rush out another summary to clear up the mess he created with the first summary.

Mueller is an institutionalist. of course he’s going to trust Barrr.
-
Or at least not interfere in how Barr construes, and does, his job.
