FILE - In this March 24, 2019, file photo, special counsel Robert Mueller departs St. John's Episcopal Church, across from the White House in Washington.
WASHINGTON — A Justice Department official says special counsel Robert Mueller expressed concern to Attorney General William Barr about how the findings of his Russia investigation were being portrayed. The frustration was communicated in a letter that Mueller sent the Justice Department days after Barr released a four-page letter summarizing the main conclusions of the investigation. The two also spoke by phone the next day.
The official was not authorized to discuss the private conversations by name and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.The letter is likely to be a central focus at Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with Barr.
Nice try preventing the swamp cleanup though
Mueller should say 'I'm scared shitless' because he was part of the Trump setup in the first place. Bet he was at Hillary's house when the destruction of all the information took place, too. Hey Mueller the gavel is raised and about to come down. BOOM💥
Correction please. He was not happy with the way it was portrayed in the media.
He left room for interpretation and Barr did it for him!
Mueller wanted a blow job now his Democrat friends treat him like a dog
Planned
So Mueller leaked messages. Unprofessional.
Barr looks at legal conclusions, not political agendized conclusions. Bottom line -- Democrats want to impeach anyone Republican until they have absolute power! They are after all Republicans and want a Democrat-controlled police state - anyone opposed they go after Maduro-style!
Oh but he’s the most transparent president ever 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
BY THE MEDIA
And yet Barr persisted. Did he think we are all stupid? That no one reads? That he could delay the Report coming out til after the election? That the GOP would coverup his coverup? That the payout was worth it no matter what? I give up. Do you think we’ll ever know? ImpeachBarr
There's that mysterious un-named source again.
Barr wasnt aware Mueller expected HIM to continue his which hunt. aka: keep obama admin's decoy moving forward.
Lying dinosaurs. Cannot be soon enough when they turn into fossils.
How about you put some proof up. Where is the Mueller letter that states this or the name of the 'offical' that said Mueller disagreed. No letter or names or facts to your story but you put it out there like it is truth. AP try putting out facts that can be checked . no hearsay.
FakeNews “In a cordial and professional conversation, the Special Counsel emphasized that nothing in the Attorney General’s March 24 letter was inaccurate or misleading.” Kinda kills the headline.
Then subpoena Mueller into the house.
Barr is a crook,how long is scum like him going to be allowed to lie for Trump?
By BuzzFeed right?
I’m so glad all this money and time was spent trying to take down the president....
Americans are frustrated w/ you Mr. Mueller! DrainTheDeepState
Cover up.
can Barr speak for himself? nope: more leaks
He was invited to speak after release of report... cmon Bob... smdh
JeremyKohCNA Poor baby... he's as crooked as the rest of the Obama crime group. They all need to be prosecuted... severely.
Lmao.... yeah. I bet. Where are the real journalists......
DisbarBarr
All fine except one thing, Mueller could have very well laid out a case for obstruction in his findings, he did not. I don’t buy this “New revelation” this sounds more like a disgruntled DOJ employee spreading false info
My gut says this is fake news. The guy had 2 years....is he incompetent?
Was this confirmed by Mulluer? Of course not. Fake news before hearing fake news
I think the 400 page report was more than enough for him to express his own clearly skewed opinion and still the facts speak for themselves. Mueller needs to surrender the spotlight.
realDonaldTrump TrumpTweetsAreFakeNews
😂
Made up by the media. ' It's over Johnny, It's OVER!'
Not true
What the news cycle is reporting is a diversion from what's really about to happen. Oh yes..people will be going to jail. Many who appear on the FAKE news media as 'expert ex-govt officials' are the ones that will be locked up. The media is pushing hard to cover this up.
Mueller is just bummed he couldn’t get Trump impeached.
I honestly believe that Barr didn't even bother to read the report. He was team Trump from the get go.
Shocking
Well of course he did ! Barr should go to jail for awhile, maybe it will clear his head. I think he should share a a cell with Minuchin for failing to supply tax returns !
Time to grow up and move on.
Mueller showed the world he’s worthless. He had nothing over a year ago, but he continues to allow the country to be split because he owes political favors. Treason
Just STOP.
Too bad....
We knew Barr was Trump's puppet.
He did his job. Got paid a lot of money. Just tell him to fade away now. He isn’t needed anymore. There was no collusion.
WHAT are you going to DO about it?!?!
All fake news.
One Faje narrative!
Fake news
Omg give it up..... trumps clean, it was a hoax.... he was right..... just let him run the damn country. He’s killing it so far and that’s with no help from the left. Imagine if he just has 25% support from the Dems? God forbid I know. 🤦🏼♂️
It was a BS waste of money, Mueller knew 5 minutes in that the whole point of the investigation, collusion, was a non issue. He should have quit on the spot.
Mueller's 2 year investigation basically ended in
You mean the “lies”?
MiaFarrow As so many have said, it's the cover-up that always gets you.
So glad Mueller came out with this...proves what a sham the WH Admin is...Barr needs to be impeached
'that nothing in the Attorney General’s March 24 letter was inaccurate or misleading.' per Mueller according to AP article. - so there is that. 🤔
Time to start impeachment proceedings
This ought to help 😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪😩😩
Mueller is a coward not saying sooner there was no collision. Instead he was a weak mouse who said nothing and spent 30 million dollars and wasted a lot of The People time! fh
So Mueller is frustrated by AG Barr’s summary of his report. So what! His full report and conclusions are public. How does it differ? Not much comment in media about that. Why? Both are the same. It’s just wordsmithing and pride of authorship.
The Banana Republic is going strong here !
Finally
DisbarBarr realDonaldTrump WorstPresidentEver DerangedDonald DeplorableDonny VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
realDonaldTrump Tomorrow’s toilet tweet: “Witch Hunt, No Obstruction, No Collusion, Oranges...” ImpeachDonaldTrump ImpeachBarr
Fake news.
Barr should appoint Mueller to the SC investigation of Hillary/Russia/Steele/DNC/CIA/FBI/IRS/DOJ/ObamaAdmin.
Well no shit.
Do you have any idea just how ridiculous you MF sound? Desperate not to be WRONG!
Yeah, when he said absolutely no collusion between DT, and Russia he was supposed to say...but, but, but...
Enough whining Mueller... Barr was not supposed to release anything but his Summary but he released your whole report, including your 200 pages of highly dubious obstruction theories.
And that’s why Nadler has now asked Mueller to testify after Barr. Oh.....wait a minute, he hasn’t done that. I wonder why? I have unnamed sources that tell me the stories of Muellers letter to Barr is total BS
How did he think they would be portrayed Maybe he shouldn’t have punted his obligation and came to a real conclusion.
BY THE MEDIA
Unnamed sources!
Join the club
By the media.
Of course he was. 2 years for what again? Nothing?
An administration full of corrupt snakes.
Again with 'anonymous sources ' 🙄
Stop jizzing yourselves. You get all these stories wrong. maybe wait for Mueller to speak?
Liars. Get it straight AP
Now maybe the Dems will love him again. Poor Mueller.
Which official
We've read the Mueller report. We know what it says. It obliterates the conspiracy theories. And Mueller said Barr's letter *wasn't misleading*, just that media coverage overread it. But this is the 3-year-history of this story: one-day media hysteria on Twitter that goes nowhere
'If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly didn't commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts & the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment.' MuellerReport
LockThemUp SCREWTHESWAMP
Ironic, you left out the part where Mueller blamed the media for the inaccurate portrayal. It’s ironic because your above tweet is active in the portrayal.
'When Barr pressed him whether he thought Barr’s letter was inaccurate, Mueller said he did not, but felt that the media coverage of the letter was misinterpreting the investigation, officials said.'
It was this asshole who opened the door by not explaining there was no obstruction
The full complete Mueller Report must be given to the American people NOW!
Bob the Boozer Mueller had his chance to speak with his 2 year hoax report He knew there was no Collusion 3 months into his investigation of the Hoax. Mueller is a TURN COAT and WWII Vets don't take a liking to his meddling with their President and the America they died for.
Umm, no information as to what he means in the article. And you wonder why people and media speculate on the meaning of things
No freaking wonder Barr is scared of questions from House Attys, huh?
“When Barr pressed him whether he thought Barr’s letter was inaccurate, Mueller said he did not, but felt that the media coverage of the letter was misinterpreting the investigation, officials said.'
Blame yourself

👇👇👇👇
An anonymous alleged Justice Department official... oh hell, I’ll just fix it for you: According to Andrew Weismann..
Meh 🤷♂️
Who cares. They need to quit wasting $
Sooo investigate him tooJustSaying
Amazing, the stupidity of the Republican mindset. Barr should have listened to Michael Cohen who warned Republicans not to fall for the conman trump, but they all just keep falling in line. Graham, McConnell, Barr, Pence, Rosenstein, Manafort, they just don’t learn.
Read the report, no issue
Mueller had every opportunity in the world to investigate realDonaldTrump RussianCollusion and Obstruction, came up with no indictments. His report was supposed to be confidential. AGBarr was in position to submit his own conclusions to the Congress. Now move on.
Mueller is the key person to appear before congress for public interview. Maybe even Fox News will cover it. The country need truth irrespective of who does or does not like it.
False. FakeNews and reported
So, Mueller told him this a few days after Barr’s initial summary, then when the actual report was released, Barr decided to double down and portray it as exonerating Trump. Barr needs to be impeached, he’s obviously compromised..
Will the Times headline that tomorrow?
Please for fucks sake, let it go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
However, according to the Post, when Barr pressed Mueller as to whether Barr's summary was inaccurate, Mueller said that it was not. Instead, Mueller told Barr that media coverage of the letter had 'misinterpreted' the results of the probe.
The full report is out. Who cares.
Yes, by the MEDIA!
Not portrayed by Barr, portrayed by the media -reading is your friend.
Then why doesnt Mueller testify himself
mueller thinks the liberal news is lying
No one from muellers team is confirming the Washington post story.
Of course he did. Barr was put in place to obstruct justice for Trump
I sure hope this is moving toward, 'Listen you treasonous coward, if you don't tell them, I will.'
Now we know why crooked Barr is protesting answering questions from House Judiciary Committee. Time to impeach and indict.
Yeah ok. You got the whole report
Hate to tell you Mueller but Barr counted on you being a stand up guy for the rule of law while he played everything to the political desires of Trump. Where are all of those former Justice Dept. people that said that Barr would uphold the rule of law and was an institutionalist?
not true
Barr is a disappointing crooner
were being portrayed by.............?
Dang. Like nobody ever would have seen this coming. Trump AG lying to save Trump's ass.
big oof
Mueller had two years to perform an investigation and make a finding, he ended it by not being able to present a chargeable case, now he is sending a letter objecting to how his report is being characterized? Give me a break
Well Mueller should have reached a conclusion rather than deferring - he didn’t, his boss did it for him
So many traitors
Yeah, portrayed by the MEDIA!
I want to hear him tell it to Congress, along with Barr !!! in front of cameras .
This is swinging after the bell big time. TrumpDerangementSyndrome
Okay, I’ll be the bad guy, Mueller is not too smart if he expected anything other than what happened
Barr totally disgraced,what a shock
Clickbait garbage
'anonymous unnamed sources' Typical.
So muellers upset that the media misrepresented his case so to prove him wrong the media is, get this, misrepresenting his statement. 2019 is great
Don’t soft pedal this. Mueller told Barr that he was a friggin liar.
.....BY THE MEDIA!!!
*The Mueller Strikes Back*
It sound like Robert Mueller wants to speak to Congress.
Another 'anonymous source'
Being portrayed by the MEDIA! not Barr 😂 Seriously who does your research?!
No one cares
Imagine that!
It’s over.... just shut up already.
1 2 3. Trump KO.
AG Bill Barr lied to the American people to protect Trump. All of them must be held accountable.
IMPEACH WILLIAM BARR
Barr colluded with Rosenstein to help Trump
Where is this letter? And more importantly, who and where is the DOJ snitch?
When will we focus on health and health care, education, the environment, major issues that have an impact on our future?
coup 🚩
Sure he did.
Really now:
There are 2 kinds of democrats: Billionaires and Idiots. Check your bank account to see which one you are.
