Hold up.... Now I don't get Barr at all..
According to the Report..
The Report goes into Detail about how Obstruction of justice cases.. are consistent with the rule that criminal intent can be inferred from circumstantial evidence.. Meaning that you don't need Defendant's testimony to make out a case of obstruction... It says Circumstantial evidence.. that illuminates intent made include a pattern of POTENTIALLY obstructive accts.
But BARR SAID IN HIS MEMO
"In making this determination, we noted that the Special Counsel recognized that “the evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference," and that, while not determinative, the absence of such evidence bears upon the President's intent with respect to obstruction. Generally speaking, to obtain and sustain an obstruction conviction, the government would need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person, acting with corrupt intent, engaged in obstructive conduct with a sufficient nexus to a pending or contemplated proceeding. In cataloguing the President's actions, many of which took place in public view, the report identifies no actions that, in our judgment, constitute obstructive conduct, had a nexus to a pending or contemplated proceeding, and were done with corrupt intent, each of which, under the Department's principles of federal prosecution guiding charging decisions, would need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to establish an obstruction-of-justice offense."

------ Mueller's report stated on page 224... THat going into his investigation they obtained 6 different instances related to potential issues of obstruction...
So are you telling me that Six different instances are not enough to show a pattern of potentially obstructive acts... to bring up a Charge..
Why specifically say in your summary... Why you didn't find Obstruction... but leave out the fact there is a pattern of obstruction.. Enough evidence that the Team felt they could get a Grand Jury Subpoena.. if they wanted to.
WOW BARR.... not even trying to hide your plans on this.. Repubs are evil.
