NBC’s Ken Dilanian: Members of Mueller’s Team Think Evidence of Collusion Is ‘Very Compelling’

‘We need to see the report’

EXCERPT:

DILANIAN: “We don't know how Robert Mueller feels, but we are told that members of Mueller’s team are frustrated. And as 'The Post' and 'The Times' reported, and we are also reporting, they're also frustrated with how Barr depicted the state of the evidence on obstruction. They say there's actually some compelling evidence once we see the report. And another aspect of this, guys, we’re hearing from a separate U.S. official that some members of the Mueller team say that the evidence on collusion, while not establishing a criminal conspiracy, is actually very compelling. Some of it may be classified, but to the extent we get to see it, Mueller’s report talks about those contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia and raises the issue of whether the Trump campaign was manipulated by a sophisticated Russian intelligence operation. So I think the key here is we need to see this report. The Barr summary by many accounts did not quite do it justice."
