'BradCast' 3/25/2019 (Barr's summary of Mueller's Report does Justice no favors)
b"On today's 'BradCast': Donald Trump's new Attorney General William Barr issued a four-page summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's two-year investigation into Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 Presidential election, Team Trump's cooperation in that effort, and Trump's attempts to obstruct the probe. Barr' summary says the Special Counsel's report explicitly "does not exonerate" Trump of obstruction of justice crimes, but that didn't stop the White House, Trump and Republicans from falsely characterizing the terse summary as "complete and total vindication" of Trump. Barr also claims Mueller's report "did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."\\xa0 Barr, who has deep conflicts of interest in the matter, claims Mueller left the decision up to Barr as to whether to prosecute Trump on obstruction. Congressional Democrats are justifiably demanding Mueller's report be publicly released.\\xa0 While we've shared no small measure of healthy skepticism about what Russia did or didn't do during the 2016 election, there is no legitimate question about Trump's attempt to obstruct Mueller's investigation. That Barr, and similarly-conflicted Deputy A.G.
