7. The Barr Summary

Mar 2019

Has tattered Barr's reputation after only a couple of months on the job.

Yesterday Nadler spoke on the phone with Barr and it wasn't pretty. When Nadler asked how many pages the Mueller report was he said the Whitehouse only authorized him to say it was "very substantial". When pressed if the Fox News report of 700 pages was accurate he repeated he could only confirm it was very substantial.

What privilege was Barr asserting that allowed him to avoid answering the simple question? I can think of none. Under oath it would be grounds for a contemp charge and add to the obstruction case.
