Limited information Barr has shared about Russia investigation frustrated some on Mueller’s team

Some members of the office were particularly disappointed that Barr did not release summary information the special counsel team had prepared, according to two people familiar with their reactions.
“There was immediate displeasure from the team when they saw how the attorney general had characterized their work instead,” according one U.S. official briefed on the matter.
Summaries were prepared for different sections of the report, with a view that they could made public, the official said.
The report was prepared “so that the front matter from each section could have been released immediately — or very quickly,” the official said. “It was done in a way that minimum redactions, if any, would have been necessary, and the work would have spoken for itself.”
Mueller’s team assumed the information was going to be made available to the public, the official said, “and so they prepared their summaries to be shared in their own words — and not in the attorney general’s summary of their work, as turned out to be the case.”

We want the entire report (with redactions made by the House Intellegence Committee, and no one else) and not some Bill Barr ham-handed attempt to protect the short fingered vulgarian in the White House. Barr has very short fingers as well. I think there's some short fingered vulgarian conspiracy going on here!
