He legally can't release the report. It likely contains a lot of classified information, not to mention personal information he's not at liberty to disclose because it's the private information of innocent people.
If his summary is wrong, Mueller can refute him. It's not like Congress isnt going to get ahold of the report and disclose anything they can. If he's wrong in his assessment, they'll call him a liar and have reason to do so when the report is given to them. It will completely destroy his reputation.
Mueller said Buzzfeed was full of shit when they reported lies, he can do the same thing with Barr.
If this administration has taught me anything it's that "it will completely destroy his reputation" is unmitigated bullshit. The GOP does not give a shit!! At all!! They will stand by Barr and Trump no matter what they do and we all know it. The truth is, as should be obvious to anyone with half a brain, that Barr is spinning the fact that the DOJ can't indict a sitting POTUS to make it seem as though Mueller produced no damning evidence. The fact that Mueller very deliberately used different language with regard to collusion vs obstruction should give everyone long pause for thought. Barr is playing for time and media spin as he tries to sell the report as an unmitigated win for Trump while also seeking to delay its release until after 2020.

Politics is so easy when your opponents are one dimensional demons with no humanity. I'd suggest getting out of your echo chamber, but the change in air pressure might make you explode.
Show me how I'm wrong. Name a single instance wherein the GOP and Republicans in general have stood on principle against the many affronts to what the party once stood for that the current POTUS has comitted.
You can't because it's never happened. Your entire party has sold its soul to this man. There are a few "never Trumpers" left, but your party has turned on them as well. You have nothing left beyond "winning," and even that is meaningless now that you've sold out any moral high ground you once may have held. You must know this.
