Several weeks ago there was a leak that the Mueller report was coming any day.

Expectations were at a fevered pitch
It didn't happen on the predicted date.

As soon as things calm down
Barr release fake summary and we're right back in a frenzy. Doubts and aspersions are cast. The skirmish has been broken into several more fronts. Positions are being hardened and the divide becomes greater. The dark force leader once again escapes.

Who's orchestrating and directing this movie ?

We already have reporting that Mueller told Barr about three weeks before the report that he wasn’t going to reach a conclusion on obstruction.

Anyone who knew that would know that he almost certainly was not going to reach a collusion charge and that things were wrapping up. Whether it was days or a couple weeks, they knew that the report wasn’t what we expected.

And, of course, they were far less likely to keep a secret like Murller could
