On Barr to get his ass over there and testify. Leaked by Mueller.

in order to try to salvage some chance at spinning the narrative before he goes before Congress.

I highly doubt that he did, however. It is too damaging.

He knew he was going to be asked in detail about Mueller's response. He knew he couldn't lie about it (since Mueller and others knew). So he leaked it. And he leaked it with the DOJ's official response and spin, without revealing the entire letter.

Instead, he leaks proof of his own perjury?

But Barr's testimony in on record. He lied. Everybody knows he lied.

Understand Mueller has only a few days of duty left as per Maddow. Barr will be going down the road before Summer or he will see Impeachment .
