Mr. Barr ... hid Mr. Mueller’s complaints, which were delivered to him in writing more than a month ago, even when Congress asked in a previous hearing about complaints by members of the special counsel's team.

Yup. He did that.

And the four-page letter that Mr. Barr issued in March and supposedly described the Mueller report omitted the two key factors driving the special counsel’s decision (which were hard to miss, as they were on the first two pages of the report’s volume about obstruction): First, that he could not indict a sitting president, so it would be unfair to accuse Mr. Trump of crimes even if he were guilty as sin; and second, Mr. Mueller could and would clear a sitting president, but he did not believe the facts cleared the president.

First, we knew already that Mueller would not indict a sitting President. Second, Barr's letter said exactly what this reporter has written. Barr said Mueller could clear a sitting President, but could not do so here. The only difference was Mueller said he could exonerate Trump, rather than clear him. Perhaps this reporter should consult a Thesaurus?
Sorry, but this one-two punch is old news. The only thing it highlights is the low bar to working as a reporter these days.
