Follow-up comment on Mueller's report

This is just a quick follow-up to yesterday's comments.  Remember that the operating principle of the Trump administration and his legal team is that the president cannot, by definition, obstruct justice.  Mueller is obviously not making a claim about criminal conspiracy with Russia, or there would be more indictments.  The lack of further indictments means all that's left is the possibility of obstruction of justice.  Since Trump and his team reject that possibility entirely, whatever Mueller says about that, Barr will have every reason to bury on the grounds that the Trump DoJ's official position is that Mueller's operating legal theory conflicts with the legal theory guiding the executive branch.
