Dear Democratic Colleague,
Today, Attorney General Barr presented a disrespectfully late and selectively redacted version of Special Counsel Mueller's report.
This report includes several alarming findings, including that "the Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion." It also explicitly states that the President's campaign took actions with an expectation that "it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts."
In his summary letter and press conference, Attorney General Barr presented a conclusion that the President did not obstruct justice. The Mueller report appears to directly undercut that claim.
