summary last month of mueller's findings and the actual report when it came out a month later and theisparity was quite notable. that barr's four pages did not tch up what mueller was able to describe when it comes to russian interference, looking a whether or not obstruction of justice had occurred. democrats were pouncing on that. republicans defended themselves. even barr commented on mueller's letter calling it snitty, saying it may have been drafted by a asn't staffer that mueller. >> did it raise more questionsa thit raised? >> the biggest question was mueller speaking. we zl haven't heard from his voice yet. testify. want him to i think that's something we will see going forwar. another question that struck me is that barr didn't necessarily
