Barr could try to block that, but there’s no way Mueller would let him get away with it and the eventual court order would be based on the fact that his own regulation requires him to report any time the SC wanted to do something and was overruled.

7. The key being "if he could"

He can’t.

If they had that much power, the investigation would have ended long ago.

This assumes of course that Mueller disagrees with anything in Barr’s summary or the redacted report.

4. Or it backfires and Mueller confirms what the summary contains

that there was no evidence of direct collusion between the campaign and he left the obstruction decision up to the AG. It could go either way really. I bet they call him in behind closed doors as a hedge to having state something damaging to either side on TV.

His previous excellent name has been greatly tarnished and may actually prove to be nothing more than rot. He's not telling the truth now, why would you think he would tell the truth to congress? Maybe he's bought into the president is above the law russian repug nonsense, maybe he's being threatened with severe personal consequences if he tells the real truth? I think Mueller stopped the investigation per Barr and wrote the report the way Barr told hm to. I also think he included all the evidence showing drumpfs criminality and thst is why Barr says he will never release the underlying documentation. The nation would recognize it (minus the 36% that are Nazis, KKK, White Nationalists , total racists or really greedy rich) as criminal, even though Barr/Mueller are saying it was done out of naivete - a self serving lie f there ever was one.
