On the other hand, other people think Barr lied. E.g., from Twitter:
Quote:
Barr lied when he said the report found no collusion.
The report found no illegal conspiracy.
What Stone did was coordinate, legally, with Wikileaks.

Maybe it's not a "lie" if he is just intending to do everything but lie to defend the President, and he inadvertently crosses it. Fortunately, we know that Barr is worried about his reputation and what others will think of him in the future.
