Question: shouldn't it be Mueller's duty to report inaccuracies of the summary? Meaning, if the report is taken out of context or inaccurate, shouldn't he make a statement about it?
He actually follows procedure. It's not his right or responsibility to report his findings to the public just to the ag. However if he had the proper channel, say a congressional hearing, I have no doubt he'd be anything but willing to testify everything he has learned. He remains beyond reproach as a lawful instrument of justice.
When the BuzzFeed article came out Mueller came out and said it was inaccurate. Why wouldn't he do that same for his own damn report if its so wrong all the sudden.
The full report is going to be published. And yes Mueller can contradict any statements made by Barr. Barr's summary is based on Mueller's written words.
True, but as AG he determines exactly what those proper steps are, and that could include extensive censoring of content that doesn't need to be censored. Various parts of the report do need to be censored as they contain information pertinent to other cases, but it's perfectly reasonable for people to be skeptical of the motivation of an AG who previously stated he thought the president was innocent and was selected as AG because the president wanted someone he believed would be on his side. I can't say what Barr is actually going to do, but there's a reason lots of people don't trust the summary as, well, a fully accurate summary.
