Some people who worked on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation believe that evidence that President Donald Trump tried to impede that probe is stronger than what Attorney William Barr publicly suggested when he cleared Trump of obstruction.

Some people who worked on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation believe evidence that President Donald Trump tried to impede the probe is stronger than what Attorney General William Barr publicly suggested when he cleared Trump of obstructing justice, NBC News reported Thursday.

But three government officials who spoke with NBC News have said that Mueller's decision to not state in his final report to Barr his belief on whether or not Trump obstructed justice stemmed in part from a split in the special counsel's office over the evidence and law. The New York Times first reported on Wednesday evening that some Mueller investigators have told associates that Barr's summary of the special counsel's findings understated the results. Trump on Thursday slammed the Times' report in a tweet, saying the paper"had no legitimate sources."Mueller submitted his final report to Barr on March 22.

Two days after the special counsel gave him the report, Barr publicly issued a summary of Mueller's findings. The special counsel concluded that there was not evidence that Trump's presidential campaign colluded with Russian agents to interfere with the 2016 election.

Good lord! Barr didn't suggest a thing. Barr just put out a summary of what the report said. If there had been any inkling of collusion, they would have continued this investigation. Accept the defeat and move on. That's what normal people do. Only Psychos get stuck

Well Mueller handed HIS report off to Barr. “Where’s the Beef?”
