Special counsel Robert Mueller handed Attorney General William Barr a 300-page report that chronicles a 22-month investigation into whether Donald Trump’s campaign “colluded” with Russian officials who invaded our electoral system.<\/p>\n

Two days later<\/em>, Barr produces a four-page summary of the report.<\/p>\n

We know what Barr says about what Mueller reported. We do not yet grasp with our own eyes what Mueller has determined.<\/p>\n

Is the AG corrupt? Is he hiding something? I do not subscribe to the first notion. The second one, well . . . is a debatable point.<\/p>\n

That is why I want to join others in demanding that we see Robert Mueller’s report in full. A heavily redacted report with pages upon pages of text blacked out won’t suffice.<\/p>\n

The attorney general is hearing from a lot of voices these days to release the report (more or less) in its entirety. National security secrets should be kept away from public view.<\/p>\n

According to Barr, Mueller has determined that Trump’s campaign did not collude with Russian goons. He said Mueller drew no conclusion about the obstruction of justice matter.<\/p>\n

Americans are left to wonder how Mueller reached those conclusions. Aren’t we entitled to see the evidence that Mueller gathered? Aren’t Americans entitled to see how our millions of dollars were spent?<\/p>\n

National Public Radio<\/a> reported Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s reaction to Barr’s summary: \u201cMr. Attorney General, we do not need your interpretation,\u201d Pelosi said Thursday. \u201cShow us the report and we\u2019ll come to our own conclusions.\u201d She mocked the administration and Republicans as \u201cscaredy-cats.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I do not want to believe William Barr is doing the president’s bidding. The burden is on the attorney general to keep his promise to operate transparently. He said he would release the report in “weeks, not months.”<\/p>\n

Let us see the full report, Mr. Attorney General. Let us decide for ourselves about the veracity of the special counsel’s findings.<\/p>\n

Many of us have said we accept Mueller’s conclusion. I am one of them. However, my acceptance is wavering just a bit. The AG’s quick-hit summary isn’t enough to persuade me fully about what Robert Mueller has determined.<\/p>\n\n
