Barr’s tactic with the Mueller report: spin and delay – The Boston Globe

Tuesday, April 09, 2019

US Attorney General William Barr has some explaining to do. In the more than two weeks since Barr sent Congress his summary of the more than 400-page Mueller report it seems increasingly clear that the attorney general is doing political spadework for President Trump. In the process he’s needlessly sullied his reputation on behalf of an increasingly unhinged and chronically dishonest president. Not only did Barr endorse Trump’s “no collusion”…
