The fact that Barr didn't release the whole report immediately means that Trump surely comes out looking pretty bad in the details. Guilty of other crimes at worst, or revealing of utter jaw dropping incompetence (lest we be surprised) at best.

Or, that, as the law requires, information regarding grand jury testimony and proceedings cannot be released, even to the highest security clearance holding members of Congress without an order from a Judge.

Grand Jury proceedings give the defendant/suspect nearly zero legal protections and zero opportunity to mount a defense. Hence the reason ONLY the lawyers involved in a Grand Jury proceeding and the members of the Jury are allowed to be given the details unless it leads to a conviction of a crime.

Hence the reason that it would literally be a serious crime for Barr or any other member of the DOJ to share that information even with the House Intel Committee unless ordered by a Court to do so, and in that case, the Court would not allow the DOJ to be the petitioner requesting to do so.

They can redact some things if the must, and even then the process of redaction should be impartial. The four page summary they want us to accept is simply not credible, and it never will be. The fox is guarding the hen house. The media seems to be willing to jump to conclusions based on the summary, but most ordinary people know better than to take a partisan appointee at his word.

I'm sorry that you are delusional. I away any of the 400+ investigators involved in compiling the report to come forward and state their findings were misrepresented.

By the way, 1/3 of the summary is Barr formally acknowledging receipt as required by law, and informing Congress, as required by law, that he will be providing them the redacted report per the requirements of rule 6 as quickly as possible with the help of the DAG and OSC.

Most people don't believe the report clears Trump https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/most-americans-say-trump-not-exonerated-of-russia-collusion-after-barr-letter-poll , the summary is not credible, plain and simple.

Most people thought the moon was made of cheese too. Most people is not a good gauge of accuracy.
