WASHINGTON — The still-secret report on Russian interference in the 2016 election submitted by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, last week was more than 300 pages long, according to American officials with knowledge of it, a length that raises new questions about Attorney General William P. Barr’s four-page summary.
Mr. Barr wrote to Congress on Sunday offering what he called the “principal conclusions” of the report — including that Mr. Mueller had not found evidence that the Trump campaign took part in a conspiracy to undermine the election. But he had notably declined to publicly disclose its length.
The total of 300-plus pages suggests that Mr. Mueller went well beyond the kind of bare-bones summary required by the Justice Department regulation governing his appointment and detailed his conclusions at length. And it raises questions about what Mr. Barr might have left out of the four dense pages he sent Congress.

WNU Editor: Attorney General William P. Barr’s four-page summary is here .... .... READ: Barr's letter to Congress summarizing Mueller findings (The Hill). I have done 2 - 3 - 4 page executive summaries of large reports in the past. It is not that hard. You have to just take the time and outline the key points. As to Attorney General William P. Barr’s four-page summary. I am sure that if it was wrong, Robert Mueller and/or his team would be the first to come out and publicly disagree with it, or leak their disagreement to the press. They have not, which tells me that this summary does cover the key points.

What would be good to see is the directive from the Senate leader (or whoever, perhaps the administration) to the AG outlining the things that are acceptable and unacceptable to appear in the summary of the Mueller report. That or a tape of the telephone conversation doing the same.
Come on. If Barr had used just two words - the right two words of course "he colluded!" - The left would be happy and give him the medal of freedom, right after Michelle Obama blowed him on national TV while Barack gives him a neck massage at the same time. It was that important to them. Not because of Russians. But because time and time again the media embarrassed itself and lost all credibility. Cavanaugh. ..then the 16yr old and the 250mn lawsuit against cnn, smollet (!) And then of course Russia collusion. A lot of people bet their credibility. And no one wants to admit they lost it. All of them lied, misled or were misled. Cnn got multiple (!) Awards for "important reporting that advanced the national discourse" you cannot make this up. The left is blowing itself with award shows day in and day out. From Hollywood to cnn to the dnc -- all were wrong..but the besy part is yet to come: Trump's revenge. And we will get to watch it. I've seen him take revenge several times before. He is merciless
