When Barr received the letter from Mueller, what was his response?

Barr doubled down on what he had said about the report. No response from Mueller, I do not understand what Mueller is doing.

it sounded more like Mueller was just ticked because Barr's four page letter didn't really display all the work Mueller's team did before punting and giving trump cover.

We'll see if Mueller says anything significant if he testifies. I'm betting he just beats around the bush like he did in his report, and gives trump even more cover.
