Many are upset that they feel Barr lied when he said he had no knowledge of what Mueller thought at his first appearance ..then this letter comes out and it appears he did. That is why some are saying he lied to Congress...and that is a legitimate issue i believe. Expand It's not a legitimate claim. He did not lie. As Cruz said, the entire argument is that Barr suppressed something which has already been released. It's nonsense political games, which if you consider where this started (calling the president a Russian asset who is illegally conspiring with Russia to steal an election) it's laughable.

Expand I am not tyingthis specifically to this investigation..but it seems like any time the President wants to shut down an investigation into his conduct, he can, and just claim there was no misdeed/crime, so i am shutting the whole thing down. Am I misunderstanding that? So truly the President is above the law ? Again, this is not related to this investigation.
