https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/32419/Pelosi, Schumer Joint Statement On Attorney General Barrs Summary Of The Mueller Report
March 24, 2019
Washington, D.C. Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer released the following statement regarding Attorney General Barrs summary of the Mueller report:
Attorney General Barrs letter raises as many questions as it answers. The fact that Special Counsel Muellers report does not exonerate the president on a charge as serious as obstruction of justice demonstrates how urgent it is that the full report and underlying documentation be made public without any further delay. Given Mr. Barrs public record of bias against the Special Counsels inquiry, he is not a neutral observer and is not in a position to make objective determinations about the report.
And most obviously, for the president to say he is completely exonerated directly contradicts the words of Mr. Mueller and is not to be taken with any degree of credibility.
Congress requires the full report and the underlying documents so that the Committees can proceed with their independent work, including oversight and legislating to address any issues the Mueller report may raise. The American people have a right to know.

And fer chrissakes those here demanding Dems accept Barrs word and move on need to move on with your concern.

the overblown representation of the report findings.

Allegedly the Mueller Report says that Donald Trump himself did not collude with the Russians.
But what about other people in his campaign? Suspicions are rife.
