AG William Barr Lied?

Attorney General William Barr

Some House Democrats claim that AG William Barr lied during the following exchange; "At an April 4th House subcommittee hearing , Barr was questioned about media reports that some officials in special counsel Robert Mueller's office were "frustrated" with his handling of the investigation report.

"Do you know what they are referencing with that?" Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla. asked.

"No, I don't," Barr replied.

"On Wednesday, however, the Department of Justice made public a letter Mueller sent to Barr on March 27 that expressed concerns with the way the attorney general had characterized the special counsel's findings." (https://www-chicagotribune-com.cdn.ampproject.org/…/ct-met-…)

THAT does NOT appear to be...a "lie."

Barr's summary of the Mueller report is right, in that; (1) the Mueller investigation found no evidence of Collusion between Trump & Russia (Mueller has since then, amplified that as correct) and (2) the Mueller team came to no conclusion on "obstruction." They, in effect, punted on "obstruction" to Barr.

It seems inconceivable in every way that the Mueller team had really hoped, or expected Barr would see evidence of "obstruction" that they didn't.

So, in regards to a question about, "knowing what some members of the Mueller team MIGHT be 'frustrated' about," the ONLY honest answers Barr COULD give were, "NO, I don't," OR, "I don't know."

After all, how is he supposed to be able to divine, or even speculate what's in their minds...IF indeed those media reports were correct?
