Scorecard:
1. Lie: Barr claimed he didn’t know that Mueller and his team disagreed with his conclusions. Truth: Mueller sent Barr a letter stating he disagreed with his conclusions.
2. Lie: Barr claimed the decision as to whether Trump obstructed justice was left to him. Truth: Mueller left the decision to Congress.
3. Lie: Barr falsely claimed the opinion by the Office of Legal Counsel (that a sitting President can’t be charged) was not a factor in Mueller’s assessment of whether Trump committed any crimes. Truth: Mueller said it was a key factor.
4. Lie: Barr claimed the White House “fully cooperated” with the investigation. Truth: Trump refused to grant an interview and the Trump team lied to investigators and deleted communications.
5. Lie: Barr falsely claimed the Mueller report found no collusion, which is not a legal term. Truth: The report was chock-full of non-criminal collusion.
Spread the truth.
