is to convince us that the investigation was allowed to complete its natural course when in fact it has not, so that they can more easily get away with the cover-up. I'm particularly struck by the sequence of statements, and very careful wording in the Barr Spin.
There are three particular statements, in order, that raise many questions.
1. During the course of his investigation, the Special Counsel also referred several matters to other offices for further action.
2. The report does not recommend any further indictments.
3. Special Counsel did not obtain any sealed indictments that have yet to be made public.
First, the several matters referred to other offices for further action are not identified.
Second, the report not recommending any further indictments does not equal those other offices not doing so.
And third, even if the aforementioned other offices have obtained sealed indictments, it would remain true that SC did not obtain any sealed indictments that have yet to be made public, though obviously that would be completely irrelevant, and highly misleading.
To me, this screams of an attempt to cover up active obstruction, counting on negligent comprehension of the facts to convince the public to adopt the "he's been investigated and found innocent" narrative they're desperately trying to spin.
