On balance, when considering the prosecutions, indictments, guilty pleas and continuing Grand Jury proceedings; this peer review coming from those that contributed to and wrote the Special Council's report; carries a great deal of weight.
The AG doesn't appreciate the American people and their demand for perfection when it comes to enforcing the law. He seems to think he can disregard the very people that wrote the Special Council report and their alarm at his dismissal of their work without further proceedings coming from it.
Considering the outcry by professionals that have served this country with expertise for many years, it is the obligation now of Congress to review the Special Council's report and it's supporting documents without redactions or exception.
AG Barr should be grateful these attorneys have brought their review of his work to a newspaper. I can think of many other venues, including professional ethics panels, where they could have turned to bring more weight to their work.
For the length of time this report was being accumulated, the American people have witnessed a president having continual hissy fits over the legal dilemma he faces with his associates going to prison. There has been extremely alarming behavior and policy adopted by this president that rises to the level of illegal and threatening to the USA security.
For god sake, doesn't Barr have any worry about the national security of his country? He sure doesn't seem to have concern for his peers such as James Comey. The mistreatment of the former director cannot be understated. Trump naively believed he could fire an FBI Director and have an existing investigation into election meddling simply go away. Then to allow Russian hierarchy to come to Oval Office within hours of firing the director over Twitter is a demonstration of Trump's true loyalties.
I believe Barr's view of the world and his loyalty to Trump and his family is very misguided. It requires further action by Congress to bring Former Director Mueller and his team to testimony to bring light to the reality of the report they filed.

Washington — Some of Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators (click here) have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated, according to government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations.
At stake in the dispute — the first evidence of tension between Mr. Barr and the special counsel’s office — is who shapes the public’s initial understanding of one of the most consequential government investigations in American history. Some members of Mr. Mueller’s team are concerned that, because Mr. Barr created the first narrative of the special counsel’s findings, Americans’ views will have hardened before the investigation’s conclusions become public....
