Russian Collusion Hysteria Part LXXVI: Some Of Mueller's Investigators Not Happy With AG Barr

Russian collusion hysteria is about to erupt all over again.

House Democrats voted to subpoena Special Counsel Robert Mueller for the full report, including all the evidence that's been collected over the past two years.

At stake in the dispute - the first evidence of tension between Mr. Barr and the special counsel's office - is who shapes the public's initial understanding of one of the most consequential government investigations in American history.

Some members of Mr. Mueller's team are concerned that, because Mr. Barr created the first narrative of the special counsel's findings, Americans' views will have hardened before the investigation's conclusions become public.

The special counsel's investigators had already written multiple summaries of the report, and some team members believe that Mr. Barr should have included more of their material in the four-page letter he wrote on March 24 laying out their main conclusions, according to government officials familiar with the investigation.

The special counsel's office never asked Mr. Barr to release the summaries soon after he received the report, a person familiar with the investigation said.

The most partisan, Democratic investigators couldn't find solid evidence of collusion.
