Democratic lawmakers are blasting Attorney General Bill Bar for supposedly trying to spin the Mueller report to protect President Donald Trump.

“Turns out Bill Barr lied through his teeth this morning,” said Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) in a tweet.

Before releasing the redacted report on Thursday, Barr told reporters multiple times the Special Counsel’s report found no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Barr also noted Special Counsel Robert Mueller examined 10 potential episodes of potential obstruction of justice.

“While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,” the report said.

A ‘carefully orchestrated press rollout’

The report suggests Trump may have tried to influence the investigation in several ways — including attempting to have Mueller removed as Special Counsel and trying to limit the scope of the investigation.

“The President's efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests,” the report reads.

Barr said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein decided there was not enough evidence to establish obstruction of justice — but Democratic lawmakers aren’t so sure about that.

“Despite the Attorney General’s spin and carefully orchestrated press rollout — obviously intended for an audience of one — nothing can hide that this report amounts to a formal presentment of misconduct that reached the highest levels of the Trump campaign and administration,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT).

While Barr may not see enough evidence of obstruction, Democratic lawmakers seem to disagree.

“The differences are stark between what Attorney General Barr said on obstruction and what Special Counsel Mueller said on obstruction,” said Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in a joint statement.

"As we continue to review the report, one thing is clear: Attorney General Barr presented a conclusion that the president did not obstruct justice while Mueller's report appears to undercut that finding,” the Democratic leaders added.

But Republicans took a different tone — praising Barr for his handling of the Mueller report.
