Mueller Objected to Barr’s Description of Russia Investigation’s Findings

Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, wrote a letter in late March to Attorney General William P. Barr objecting to his early description of the Russia investigation’s conclusions that appeared to clear President Trump on possible obstruction of justice, according to the Justice Department.

The letter adds to the growing evidence of a rift between them and is another sign of the anger among the special counsel’s investigators about Mr. Barr’s characterization of their findings, which allowed Mr. Trump to wrongly claim he had been vindicated.

It was unclear what specific objections Mr. Mueller raised in his letter. Mr. Barr defended his descriptions of the investigation’s conclusions in conversations with Mr. Mueller over the days after he sent the letter, according to two people with knowledge of their discussions.

Obstruction relates to an underlining crime. Where is the crime of collusion?

This section; Factual Results of the Obstruction Investigation...
I"m on section "g" and I'm shocked.

Also, as a non-lawyer, I really appreciate how the report is written.

Yup. And with the implication being that if Trump weren't President they would have indicted him.

Jared Kushner needed help.

It was March 2016 and Kushner’s father-in-law, Donald Trump, was steamrolling to the Republican presidential nomination. But the businessman-candidate was taking heat for his campaign’s lack of foreign policy expertise, something Kushner was trying to remedy.


That’s when he found a Russian willing to assist.

On March 14, 2016, according to special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, Kushner attended a lunch in Manhattan in honor of Henry Kissinger. Also in attendance was a tall, bearded Russian émigré with a booming voice. His name was Dmitri Simes, and for nearly 20 years he had been president and CEO of the Center for the National Interest, a Washington foreign policy think tank.

Simes had been a Washington fixture since he left the Soviet Union in the early 1970s, obtained U.S. citizenship, and served as an informal foreign policy adviser to President Richard Nixon. A longtime advocate of warmer U.S.-Russia relations, he was also dogged by criticism that he was notably sympathetic to Moscow’s views.

Kushner and Simes met at the lunch and began communicating, including in a meeting at Kushner’s office later that month. Although the Trump campaign never identified Simes as an adviser, he provided counsel to the Trump team, particularly with regard to Russia. In June 2016, Mueller found, he sent a memo to then-Senator Jeff Sessions, who headed up Trump’s foreign policy team, offering several policy recommendations, including “a new beginning with Moscow,” and in August he would send Kushner himself a “Russia policy memo.”

“Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) told The New York Times on Friday that hackers penetrated a Florida county's elections system in 2016.

Rubio's comments come a week after special counsel Robert Mueller's report revealed that Russians sent malicious software to Florida county government officials overseeing the 2016 election.”

Pretty sure that had already been acknowledged. It was one county.

Who has acknowledged it? The GOP is out there saying all Russia did was spend a few hundred bucks on Facebook ads.

So why was Nelson ignored when he said that last year? And why is Jared saying all the Russians did was buy Facebook ads? And what is the administration doing to keep it from happening again?
