If he didn't do any harm in misrepresenting the report, why do you think he did it?
eta: Josh Marshall puts it well:
Quote:
We shouldn’t miss what Mueller says in this letter, or at least the passage quoted by the Post. Though couched in cool, precise and formal language, Mueller says that Barr was willfully misleading the public about what the investigation had found. Indeed, by his actions he was sowing precisely the “confusion” and lack of public confidence that the appointment of a Special Counsel was supposed to prevent.
This is a damning development. Barr’s willful public deceptions are so evident that by any ordinary standard his resignation would be inevitable. Of course, we’re playing under Trump rules. So he’s not going anywhere. It is, nonetheless, a damning development.
