3. Barr would have to be absolutely insane

to publish a letter summarizing the Mueller report opposite of what the Mueller concluded. Because Mueller would expose any falsehoods by Barr in a NY minute. Actually Mueller & Comey are known to be long time friends, and since Trump fired Comey, it is not plausible that Mueller is a fan of Trump.

9. I am betting on the full Mueller report being released to public

with obvious redactions necessary for "classified" material and security issues.
I just hope it is sooner than later. And I agree with you completely that Barr would try his best to use weasel words in his summary. But if Mueller concluded there was Russia collusion, and Barr+Rosenstein agreed there was no collusion in the summary, that would be a very serious crime. Barr is too old to take a chance on prison time.

Having said that, we all want to know what exactly Mueller has in the report with regards to obstruction.

10. Exactly, and a conclusion

doesn't tell us how Mueller arrived at said conclusion, especially as filtered via Barr's (a Trump stooge) spin.

Mueller could've had alot of evidence but not enough to meet the 'beyond a reasonable doubt' burden of proof.

He could've felt he couldn't indict a sitting president, and thinks congress should take up the matter.

We'll never know unless we see the full report.
