Business Insider: The House Judiciary Committee requests records of communications between Mueller and DOJ following reports of a rift between the two
* House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler has requested all records of communications between the Justice Department and the special counsel Robert Mueller's office regarding the final report in the Russia investigation.
* The request comes after multiple media outlets reported that members of Mueller's team are frustrated with the way Attorney General William Barr characterized their findings in a four-page letter he sent to Congress last month.
* Mueller's team also reportedly prepared summaries of their findings to release to the public and were perplexed Barr didn't use more of their material in his letter to Congress.
* Nadler asked Barr on Thursday to release all of the Mueller team's summaries to the public, writing, "If there is significant daylight between [Mueller's] account and yours, the American people should know that, too."
New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has requested all records of communications between the US Justice Department and the special counsel Robert Mueller's office about the final report in the Russia investigation.
Nadler specified that the committee was seeking communications "regarding the disclosure of the report to Congress, the disclosure of the report to the public, and those regarding your March 24 letter that purports to 'summarize the principal conclusions reached by the Special Counsel and the results of his investigation.'"

WNU Editor: US House Democrats want these records because they believe in this recent New York Times report that members of the Mueller team are unhappy with the summary that was produced by Attorney General Barr .... New York Times Is Claiming That The Barr Summary Of The Mueller Report Is Incomplete (April 4, 2019). The problem with the New York Times report is that it is sourced by someone who heard something from someone who heard that some members of the Mueller Commission were unhappy. When a reporter's source is based on third hand opinions, I cannot help but believe this is fake news. As for the US senate demand, their request is more serious .... GOP senators alert Barr to allegations that Mueller team misrepresented emails (FOX News).
Hat tip to Robert for the above Business Insider report.

Lapides,
Comment, you know you want to.
They will never stop, they just keep ripping us apart. Sadly, an large event is needed before this ends. Ugly Dems!!

Sir--
The NY Times was hardly the only source for this. And even Rudy has stated that Mueller team people, now free of their work, have been leaking. Unlike Fox, the NY Times stands behind stories and admits when they are mistaken..you ready dismissal of this story seems an attempt to hold on to what you have come to believe
How many pages in the Mueller report? at least 400
How long for Barr to issue his statement, which contained not one full sentence from the report?
"A movie this bad come along once in a lifetime"
becomes: Comes along once in a lifetime
a copy editor would have said: [...]comes along once in a lifetime.
Robert Mueller's own announcement that there will be no more indictments is all that one needs to know that this Russian collusion hoax is now dead.
Mueller's team prepared summaries with minimal need for redaction, such that they could have been released upon submission. Members of Mueller's team are now saying Barr did not fairly characterize their work. And Barr is saying his summary of their work isn't actually a summary of their work.

In New Documents, Cohen Says Trump "Instructed" Him To Lie
this is new materials, based on documents, emails, recordings...not previously available
The problem is that the US government, over the more recent past, has developed a very dubious reputation for exhibiting a disregard towards truth. It takes a lot of nudging to get the truth out of them, no matter the name of the party or President and unfortunately, when the truth does finally get out, after decades of delay, it is met with disinterest because over time people get old and the young have new issues to protest.
The only solution to this game is to keep trying and hoping for an opposition that will actually force the issues. The Democrats appear to be on the leading edge in the Mueller report issue at this point in time. The only question is, how are they going to back away from something they have made such a big deal of when backing away is deemed essential to their survival?
I keep reading about subpoenas for various people to appear, so why not subpoena Mueller and have him read the report on CPAC? He has probably read it so many times he could recite it from memory.
Now if there waw an ammendement that guaranteed the right to read, governement reports like this perhaps Vietnam would not have happened.
Alright Lapides,
You did it! Only you could uphold the quality of commentary that no one else is capable or wants to.

Mike,
That is probably Mr. Lapides citing links. He has a signature style. It could be copied, but it probably is him.
After he reads the NYT long enough each day, he bucks ups and sometimes posts under his name. Everyday the NYT tells Fred that Trump is doomed and periodically they give excuses as to why he is free. Fred believes it all uncritically.
