pg 2 of Volume 2:
That says it all right there. Comrade GURPS, spitbubble HIjinx, et. al. You can produce all the propaganda you want...it won't change the text of the report. And that report states loudly and clearly that the Special Prosecutor believes the evidence shows the sitting President of the United States took actions that amount to obstruction of justice.
Which then also means Barr misled the American public in his 4 page letter which stated:
The bolded text is clearly incomplete and out of context at best...at worst it is a bald faced lie.
The underlined text is also clearly a misrepresentation of Item 4 which clearly states that the evidence exists to pursue an obstruction charge against Donald Trump (Items 1-3 lay out why the Special Prosecutor declined to make the charge against a sitting President).
The italicized text is clearly intended to misrepresent the findings included in the Fourth item on page 2 of Volume 2 of the Mueller report. Barr cherry picked a portion of the last sentence in an effort to defend the President...a President who is ethically, morally and intellectually bankrupt.
Now for those who can't follow along, the job of the Attorney General is NOT as defense attorney for the President. The AG is the people's prosecutor.
pg 2 of Volume 2:
Fourth,
if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, we are unable to reach that judgment. The evidence we obtained about the President's actions and intent presents difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.

Which then also means Barr misled the American public in his 4 page letter which stated:
After making a “thorough factual investigation” into these matters, the Special Counsel considered whether to evaluate the conduct under Department standards governing prosecution and declination decisions but ultimately determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment. The Special Counsel therefore did not draw a conclusion - one way or the other – as to whether the examined conduct constituted obstruction. Instead, for each of the relevant actions investigated, the report sets out evidence on both sides of the question and leaves unresolved what the Special Counsel views as “difficult issues” of law and fact concerning whether the President's actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction. The Special Counsel states that “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”
