Like clockwork, Attorney General William Barr dropped a follow-up letter regarding the Mueller report just before 5 p.m. on a Friday. More notable than his confirmation that he plans on releasing the report by “mid-April” is the fact that he confirmed that special counsel Robert Mueller is in fact personally assisting in preparing the report for public consumption. This detail effectively takes the wind of out of the sails of anyone hoping that Barr massively misconstrued Mueller’s findings in his primary letter from last week.

Despite left-wing meltdowns that Barr has rigged the release of the Mueller report, he really couldn’t be more transparent about the process. He confirmed that his letter was a summary of the Mueller report’s “principal conclusions,” a point that ought not to be necessary to explicate. He also announced that he’s available to testify in front of both the House and Senate Judiciary Committees at the beginning of May.
