The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.Investigators for special counsel Robert Mueller have told associates that Attorney General William Barr inadequately characterized the findings of their inquiry, which they say could be worse for President Donald Trump than Barr suggested, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

The officials didn't elaborate, The Times reported, but it said some members of Mueller's team thought that Barr should have included more of their material in the four-page summary he released March 24. His summary stated that Mueller found no proof that Trump criminally colluded with Russia and that he reached no conclusion about whether Trump obstructed justice.

Isn't 2 years enough for this fiasco by the Dems? WTF? It's time to concentrate on our citizens. The real pressing issues of our daily lives. MAGA

Only morons (even people “on the investigation team”) can’t be dumb enough to think the brand new AG (great friends with Mueller) is mischaracterizing the report with approval by Mueller who helped him write the summary (which required by law). FakeNews can’t help but lie.

Shocked , I tell you! Shocked!

Like anyone trusts anything reported by like b media. Unknown sources. How many times does it take to be burned before you all report facts?

Here we go again. nbcnews on fakenews circle jerk with failingNYT, quoting an article with no sources and no quotes. Haven’t you learned anything?

Somebody told somebody that told us....

How can u obstruct an investigation when there is NO CRIME!

Between the Democrats, Liberals and the News Media, I'm convinced every mental institution is empty!! You people are truly INSANE! Have you ever listened to yourselves

BS!

Interesting that you say that.. When both Mueller and Rosenstein worked on the Barr report... In fact is probably unknown to you.. Because you won't report/investigate real news.. But Mueller and Rosenstein are working with Barr on what can be released.

The butcher told my aunt who told my mother that told my dad who told my brother who told me...

Where is your Corroboration?

Who told who? If I told you an aid to Hillary told an associate that Hillary personally deleted the 33k emails on her illegal server would you report it?

Lies. If they had evidence of acute obstruction he would have been charged or Mueller would have said it plain & clear.

FAKE NEWS !!!!!! EnemyOfThePeople You're so full of Schiff !!!!

anonymous sources again.. the same ones who've been wrong about everything. More FakeNews.

This story would only be more credible if you had names to back up the story. I’m sure everyone that wanted collusion will hop on your bandwagon though.

BarrCoverUp BarrObstruction

YAAAAAWWWWWNNNNN....America has moved on but you won't..surprise, surpirse....more unnamed sources.....haven't we seen this movie before NBC

you mean the Trump-appointed AG misrepresented the findings of an investigation into Trump? shocked and appalled...

Barr is just another of Trump's Brownshirts.

Who exactly said this?

I heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend, who heard from a friend, who heard it from their brothers wife’s sisters husbands uncles sister in-laws cousins ex wife’s next door neighbors.

That’s the reason he got his job. Trump did everything possible to get rid of people who aren’t afraid of him and install loyalists at every step of the process.

IndictBarr co-conspirator

Well duh

I think that the AG should not be so fast / quick putting out his report from so many pages, he put out four pages that was two fast. Oftentimes we act quickly to arrest damage control, but we do more damages & on hindsight we see our mistakes. But common sense must be present.

Yeah, ok....FakeNews

No,,he cant let private things out its against the law and all u liberals will see no collusion no corruption so get ur baby crying twls ready

Same crap different day...

Could May Perhaps Possibly Any other qualifying words you can use in this article?

Way to go media!! Name your sources!

Weaponized intelligence and FBI agents willfully allowed foreign entities attempt to infiltrate the campaign of an American presidential candidate. And they never told him. Follow that story.

'Told associates'

Paging KenDilanianNBC

It’s time for Mueller to step up, and speak out.

The Democrats are now seeing Mueller investigaters leaking info now. Go after Barr cuz he is obstructing like Nixon did.

You ALL are a bunch of sad, strange little people... take a lesson in White Flag Tactics - know when to throw in the towel, this is getting beyond embarrassing at this point! 😞🙄

Barr is just part of the ongoing obstruction.

Does this surprise anyone It shouldn’t the report will get released one way or the other they should release the unredacted version to Congress or at least the gang of 8. Then have Mueller’s team redact the classified then release publicly.

no shit

Barr=Obstruction

These actions by Barr, would expedite the release of the entire report. There is also no way he couldn't anticipate this reaction. So it would make sense, that he knew his letter would expedite the release of the entire report, and underlying evidence.

'some members found'. Ok if they did then why aren't they on record as saying so? Kinda makes me go hmmm. We need the entire report(save anything that might prejudice any pending investigations) out so everyone can finally stfu about this.

John Goodman should play Barr in the movie.

Let's wait for report to come out. I wouldn't trust anonymous sources. Especially after the last two years of crap.

Wow. Lots of MAGA snowflakes extremely triggered about the content of the report that is supposed to totally exonerate their idol.

Give it up and find a new ball to play with!

Lies

Wow! I find that hard to believe. .

FakeNews = biased, unfounded and wishful thinking. Stop waste our attention

They couldn't wait the full report?

“Anonymous” = FakeNews

has learned nothing from this debacle.

This story was ordered by the DNC , this is told crap trying to sway public opinion against the trump administration. The Democratic Party should concentrate on creepy Joe and fix that problem

I took one look at this photo and said “Ooooh John Goodman’s in troublllllllllle”

We The People, it's time we IMPEACH this FAKE PRESIDENT & PROSECUTE this FAKE PROSECUTOR & bring them to justice‼️This American nursery rhyme best describes what we need to do w/ Trump & Barr: 'Eeny, meeny, miny, moe catch the tiger by his toe, if he hollers DON'T let him go'‼️

Ok ,we'll see I'm sure he didnt when co gross is getting a copy of the report, he's smarter than that again fake news

Really? Coz I don’t see any indictments like when Mueller is so sure of something. Lol

The summary said no crime was committed. That's not a 'characterization' that's just a fact.

So a friend of a friend told a friend that someone told them

White House communications director Hope Hicks acknowledged that she has told LIES on behalf of Coward-Bone-Spurs Trump. When you know that no one from the Trump Administration tells the truth, you learn to see under the surface and use common sense.

No shit

'worse' No Further Indictments

Nobody cares what these liars have to say.

Even Barr is colliding with Russia.
