The Justice Department defends Attorney General Bill Barr's handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's report but without directly addressing news reports that some on Mueller’s team are upset over what Barr has chosen to keep secret for now.

that at least some of the dozens of investigators on Mueller's team "are frustrated with the limited information” Barr has released.

"These reports suggest that the Special Counsel prepared his own summaries, intended for public consumption, which you chose to withhold in favor of your own ... If these recent reports are accurate and the Special Counsel’s office prepared summaries 'in a way that minimum redactions, if any, would have been necessary' ... then those summaries should be publicly released as soon as possible." Nadler said.

In another letter last week, Barr said he was consulting with Mueller over how much of Mueller’s full report can be released, and that he expected a redacted version of the report would be released “by mid-April.” In his letter of “principal conclusions” two weeks ago, Barr indicated that Mueller did find at least some evidence suggesting Trump tried to obstruct the federal probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Mueller’s report "sets out evidence on both sides of the question," including evidence not in public view, according to Barr.

Unlike the "independent counsel" who investigated Clinton and was supervised by a federal judge, Mueller was appointed under newer "special counsel" regulations that make him a part of the Justice Department – working under the attorney general as does any federal prosecutor.

Trump and Mueller got along fine out of the public eye says Trump's former lawyer John Dowd. via Byron York/Washington Examiner ByronYork

That's what we had a special counsel for. To gather up all the facts and come to a conclusion. IT'S OVER YOU FLAKES. MOVE ON.

We already know the facts, we knew a long time ago y'all were just wasting time and spending money, keeping the suspicion off yourselves, yea, know that too! Our turn, we've got the ball

Release Hillary's emails!! I wanna see the correspondence between her, and Anthony Weiner.. How many pics are there of 'Mr.Weiner'? This is why the emails were illegally deleted by her fraudulent security person..

AG Barr should be immediately investigated by the FBI cia & SecretService. He has violated constitutional/Congressional law. Period

The summaries contain classified and secret grand jury material, which cannot be released. Nadler knows this and simply putting on a show for the lunatics still hanging onto a conspiracy theory more absurd than Fake Moon Landing and Flat Earth combined. [Follows appreciated!]
