Night and Day: Mueller versus Barr on criminal conspiracy/collusion

I just watched Mueller give his brief statement on his investigation, and the difference between his statement on his own investigation and how William Barr described it could not be more stark.

When William Barr gave his summary, all he did was repeat, "NO COLLUSION, NO COLLUSION!!!" He was the parrot on Trump's shoulder.

Here was how Mueller put it: "insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy."

That is, shall we say, rather different from NO COLLUSION, or TOTAL EXONERATION. This is precisely the point I made in response to Barr's summary and the report itself, so I guess I sound like a broken record, or a parrot, or something.

Regardless, I think it is a useful exercise to watch that statement side-by-side with Barr's press performance summarizing Mueller's report. Night and day.
