AG Bill Barr raises new questions with unusual and unexpected letter
So, to summarize; This guy read a 400 page report in a few hours, concluded that it said exactly what it said was going to say all along and sent a summary to Congress saying that there was nothing damning to the President without quoting as much a single sentence from the report. Then he said that he would release the full report after the guy who is supposedly totally exonerated by it had a chance to take out what he wanted from it. NOW the AG is saying that his summary wasn't a "summary" and we should stop calling it that.
Maybe he should have read the whole thing, because now that he has said it clears the president, he just put his career at risk. It doesn't clear the president. It clears him of criminal charges in the main focus of the investigation. Likely, it implicates him in other crimes (like campaign finance, obstruction of justice and emoluments violations) and now he's backpedaling. Covering his own ass after showing loyalty to his mob boss and realizing it was gonna blow up. Like Cohen said they would.
