Victor Davis Hanson \/\/ American Greatness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrats have grown infuriated by Attorney General William Barr\u2019s indifference to their hysteria over the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barr recently released a brief summary of special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s conclusions that Donald Trump did not collude with the Russians to warp the 2016 election. Barr added that Mueller had not found enough evidence to recommend that Trump be indicted for obstruction of justice for the non-crime of collusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Progressives, who for 22 months had insisted that Trump was a Russian asset, were stunned. But only for a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost immediately, they redirected their fury toward Barr\u2019s summation of the Mueller report. Yet few rational people contested Barr\u2019s synopses about collusion and obstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the Mueller report and Barr\u2019s summation can be found on the internet. Anyone can read them to see whether Barr misrepresented Mueller\u2019s conclusions.
