Does Mueller's Angry Letter Prove Barr Lied to Congress?

Excerpt:

Mueller’s vehemence that Barr not disregard the possibility that Trump committed obstruction shows exactly what is on his mind.

Mueller’s team also felt that Barr downplayed the obstruction angle, which angered them.

One thing that may be at issue between the two men is Barr’s position that you can’t commit obstruction if there has been no underlying crime. This is a minority view among legal experts, and most hold that you don’t need actually to have committed a crime to be guilty of obstruction if you try to sideline an investigation.

When testifying before Congress, Barr was asked if he knew Mueller and what the latter thought of Barr’s summary. He pleaded ignorance, which we now know is a falsehood. Harvard law professor Lawrence Tribe wonders whether the lie makes Barr himself eligible for impeachment.

1. I say yes.

Barr said he didn't know if Mueller agreed with his conclusions.
Mueller told Barr specifically that he misrepresented the OSC's conclusions.

It could not possibly be any more clear, given that he denied knowledge of Mueller's position on the EXACT word Mueller told him directly that he disagreed.
