Washington Post: “Barr and Mueller are reported to be friends, but one comment in particular suggested there might be some tension between them. When discussing Mueller’s letter and their conversations, Barr suggested Mueller could have prevented all of this in the first place.”
Said Barr: “I offered Bob Mueller the opportunity to review that letter before it came out and he declined.”
“Barr’s intent might have been more to suggest he did his due diligence in releasing the letter — rather than that Mueller did anything wrong. But it sure sounded like he was saying Mueller could have spoken up sooner.”
“Barr also suggested later that Mueller’s opinions don’t really matter, because he serves in the Department of Justice and reports to the attorney general. He likened Mueller to a U.S. attorney in the DOJ’s pecking order.”
