AG Bill Barr has just responded by letter to Democrats trying to make a big deal about the release of the full Mueller report.
In the letter he hits back at criticisms of his four page summary, saying it never claimed to be an exhaustive account of the entire report.
Further, he announced that the he expects to release a redacted version of the 400 page report in mid-April.
Here’s more from TPM:
The letter states that the report is “nearly 400 pages” long, and that he expects to send a redacted version to lawmakers in mid-April.
Barr writes in the letter that the report “sets forth the Special Counsel’s findings, his analysis, and the reasons for his conclusions.”
“Everyone will soon be able to read it on their own,” he writes.
Barr also says that his Sunday letter to Congress that provided his top-line conclusions of the report “was not, and did not purport to be, an exhaustive recounting of the Special Counsel’s investigation or report.”
On the question of whether the White House will attempt to assert executive privilege over elements of the report, Barr writes that Trump “has stated publicly that he intends to defer to me and, accordingly, there are no plans to submit the report to the White House for a privilege review.”
Democrats have been making ridiculous claims ever since his summary came out and vindicated Trump. They are so angry that Mueller didn’t find any collusion that some of them can’t see straight.
I’m glad Barr is hitting back against some of this.
