Remember how the Barr proponents were trying to act as if he and Mueller

were such great friends? (Around the time of the confirmation hearings.)

Don't great friends have each other's phone numbers?

This is from the Post's article about the "shocking" letter Mueller wrote to Barr on March 27.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/mueller-complained-that-barrs-letter-did-not-capture-context-of-trump-probe/2019/04/30/d3c8fdb6-6b7b-11e9-a66d-a82d3f3d96d5_story.html?fbclid=IwAR2gTJLvLhFzOmb3m26BHzxnq2i-vTdZCxA1EeDK64bn973w-iNEJHGmAKQ&utm_term=.646b33256326

Barr said he did not want to put out pieces of the report, but rather issue the document all at once with redactions, and that he didn’t want to change course, according to officials. Barr also gave Mueller his personal phone number and told him to call if he had future concerns, officials said.

that the men were more than professional acquaintances whose wives were friends.

5. "Always available" and wives being friends doesn't make the men good friends,

as they were portrayed.

Neither does accompanying your wife to the wedding of a child of one of your wive's friends.

Many couples have their own separate friends, as well as joint friends, and having attended a wedding of somebody's child doesn't prove anything about what category of friendship the Barr-Muellers fell in.

and stand by my assumption that Mueller was always able to reach Barr as he in fact did and as trump people lie and shade I doubt their claim of generosity on Barr's part is sheer spin.
