The leaking has commenced.
With these following phrases, the day gone by the New York Times formalized what many near observers of the Mueller investigation had suspected: Attorney General William Barr’s controversial four-web page letter about Mueller’s work turned into probably more spin than reality. “Some of Robert S. Mueller’s III’s investigators have told friends that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to accurately paint the findings of their inquiry,” the Times reported, “and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated.”

But when push came to shove and he sincerely had the Mueller Report in his fingers, he came up with a strange product citing remarkably little of Mueller’s actual work and words… Whilst tilting favorably closer to the president. But now Barr’s credibility is being referred to as into query. Did the attorney popular produce a fair and balanced Mueller summary, or carefully crafted legalistic spin
