Ask yourself, Would Mueller have used up 400 pages to say "Nothing to see here"? Obviously, those 400 pages contained detailed accounts of various acts of communication between the Trump camp and the Russians, including the Russian government and the Russian Maffiya, because Mueller admitted at the end that what was still missing was evidence of Trump's motive - and whether it was 'corrupt'. He wouldn't need evidence of motive unless there had actually been activity amounting to collusion.

As we get closer and closer to seeing all 400 pages, Barr has backpedaled from claiming that his 4-page letter was any sort of 'summary'.

We're only two and half years into the Trump presidency and he's already in the place that Nixon took five years to reach.

Only with Barr he's the COVER-UP MAN repugs send in to bury glaring scandals that will ruin re-election chances.

He did it in '92 with the Iran/Contra, arms for oil scandal that got H.W. Bush off the hook. Now he's trying to do the same for trump. He figures to not turn over the un-redackted report subpoena or not. The matter will then go to the courts, many of which have been packed with trump judges. This could stretch out past the 2020 election and maybe even semi-forgotten by the time it's resolved.

Barr is a repug hired gun, nothing more.
