From the decision pdf , bold mine:
The court determined that the Department had failed to
carry its burden to show the deliberative-process privilege
applied. In particular, the court held that the Department had
not identified a relevant agency decision as to which the
memorandum formed part of the deliberations. The
Departments submissions, the court explained, indicated that
the memorandum conveyed advice about whether to charge the
President with a crime. But the courts in camera review of the
memorandum revealed that the Department in fact never
considered bringing a charge. Instead, the memorandum
concerned a separate decision that had gone entirely
unmentioned by the government in its submissions to the
courtwhat, if anything, to say to Congress and the public
about the Mueller Report.
We affirm the district court. The Departments
submissions in the district court gave no indication that the
memorandum related to Attorney General Barrs decision
about making a public statement on the Mueller Report.
Because the Department did not tie the memorandum to
deliberations about the relevant decision, the Department failed
to justify its reliance on the deliberative-process privilege.
And they are going to make it public!

Barr's job was to stop the facts from the Mueller Report getting out end of story.
