Analysis: What Barr’s promise to share the Mueller report’s 'principal conclusions' could mean
By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow March 23 at 3:36 PM On Friday, Attorney General William P. Barr offered up just four paragraphs of explanation for what happens next with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report on the Russia investigation. Here’s the section from his letter where he addresses that directly, to some extent:
The “you” is the leaders of the House and Senate judiciary committees, and Barr suggests they’ll be briefed rather quickly. Apparently it won’t be Saturday, but it could be Sunday.Barr has made clear that he sees himself as being constrained not just in what he can release publicly from the Mueller report but also in what he can tell Congress.
But it’s also worth emphasizing that Barr’s characterization of “principal conclusions” could be read as being narrow. “Its main significance is its limitation — 'principal’ as in ‘not all,’"said former top Justice Department aide Harry Litman, who is a Washington Post columnist.
