"It is clear that Barr's four-page letter, about which Mueller complained to Barr and a part of the Mueller team's complaint to the media, was an attempt stupid to clean up the Mueller report, "wrote Napolitano in an editorial posted on FoxNews.com.

"It was misleading, hypocritical, and misleading." Also, as Barr knew that all or most of the Mueller report would soon enter the public domain, he was dumb and insulting. "

In a letter released last month, Mueller expressed frustration that Barr's summary "does not fully capture the context, nature and substance of the work and findings of this office".

Democratic lawmakers took a close look at how he handled the Mueller report and its conclusions on whether Trump was obstructing justice.

The Judiciary Committee of the House voted Wednesday to condemn Barr for disregarding a Congressional summons to deliver an unredacted version of the report and its underlying documents.

Napolitano claimed that Barr had "dropped the balloon" by not responding to the Democrats' summons, claiming he could have challenged the summons before a federal judge.

"In a bitter irony of fate, the law that Democrats in the House now claim to have violated is the same law on obstruction of justice that Mueller says the president raped – engaging in misleading or deceptive behavior. diversion for corrupt purposes in order to prevent a government investigation or investigation, "wrote Napolitano. "This is an extremely serious charge against the Attorney General."

Mueller's report did not establish that there was a plot between the Trump campaign and Russia. He also did not recommend a charge of obstructing justice against Trump, but added that it "does not exonerate him".
