I don’t expect him to give us an objective, complete version of the Mueller report. He has misled Congress before concerning an earlier report.
When he was earlier at DOJ, Barr wrote a summary of a redacted document. Turns out, he omitted and mischaracterized key facts.

The truth came out because Congress demanded to see the complete document.
We must accept nothing less.

For today’s #RealityCheck, @JohnAvlon takes a trip back to 1989 and revisits another Bill Barr memo with "principal conclusions."

Would Barr offer a misleadingly incomplete version of the Mueller report? Thirty years ago, he did something similar. https://t.co/HufsLhDPUi

Great job unearthing Barr's disingenuous 1989 memo, @rgoodlaw! https://t.co/PB40j8434c

Barr was never a straight shooter. Not at OLC. Not at his first gig as Attorney General. Not now. A shifty, dishonest partisan. https://t.co/mY0UPDlRgH

As this @rgoodlaw report reveals, we’re reliving the duplicity Barr practiced 30 years ago. As @RonaldKlain put it, he’s building a wall around Trump not brick by brick, but Barr by Barr. Trump really has found his Roy Cohn. They deserve each other.https://t.co/ybo8TpOEQt

I can’t tell you exactly what the pages of the report AG Barr delivers to Congress & releases to the public will contain, but I can say w/ confidence that you’ll know more than you do today, it surely won’t answer all of your questions & it will be but one part of the narrative.

"Redacted" is Barr-speak for "Coverup"

Spoke with @rgoodlaw about his extensive look at how Barr in 1989 bury key details from a legal opinion that he was summarizing. https://t.co/pK34nLSVzf

Barr has briefed the White House on the Mueller report but has stonewalled Congress in its request for the full report.

Barr appears more concerned with pleasing Trump than with the transparency he promised or the constitutional role of Congress. https://t.co/sxKxN5U16b

A federal judge has said that Barr created public distrust about whether DOJ is committed to sharing as much as possible about Mueller's findings.

Sad!
