The usual fake news outlets tried to make a huge scandal out of a letter sent to Barr from Mueller, claiming that Mueller was accusing Barr of misrepresenting his investigation into collusion.
But in the same article but buried deep inside was Mueller admitting that Barr was not inaccurate in his portrayal of the report and in fact, he criticized the fake news media for misrepresenting his report. Bret Baier pointed this out on his Fox News program.
Democrats are now calling for Barr to resign over lying, but since it’s the Democrats who were caught lying, when can we expect their resignations?
Mueller wrote in a letter to Barr that the attorney general’s interpretation of his investigation “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions.”
During an appearance on “America’s Newsroom” on Wednesday, Baier pointed out that although Mueller did get in contact with Barr about his letter, a Department of Justice spokesperson said that Mueller did not believe that Barr’s conclusions were inaccurate.
Specifically, Baier highlighted the phone call between Barr and Mueller, which was described by the spokesperson as “cordial and professional.”
“The Special Counsel emphasized that nothing in the Attorney General’s March 24 letter was inaccurate or misleading,” the spokeswoman told “The Washington Post.”
“But, he expressed frustration over the lack of context and the resulting media coverage regarding the Special Counsel’s obstruction analysis.”
“That gets lost in all of the hubbub of this letter,” Baier said. “Do I agree that Barr is going to get grilled? One hundred percent. Are there many questions about obstruction of justice and why Mueller doesn’t get to a conclusion in the 10 instances? Yes. But, from the phone call description, he concedes that it’s not inaccurate,” he said.
