The attorneys on the special council have complained, anonymously, about Barr not releasing more detail. They have not complained that his conclusions were wrong as a matter of law. Their complaint is that Barr didn't include all the evidence of Trump's activities that, in the end, did not amount to a crime.

"These people" are janitors at CNN. But they know their stuff according to my aunt's uncle's taxi driver who has intimate knowledge of the situation. Why don't they put their names out there -- which wouldn't be illegal-- but lend credibility to the claim.

I think they're legitimate because their claims aren't too extraordinary. It would be the most natural thing in the world for a report summarizing an intense investigation that took two years to be full of things that sound suspicious when you first hear them, but amount to nothing when you look a little closer.

Nonsense. You are suggesting someone whose very job description entails examining exactly these sorts of things yet isn't aware of it?

If I had to guess I would say prosecutors spoke to the press because they think the public should know more, and so they say as much as they think they can get away with without ending up in trouble themselves. Maybe that's because they aren't happy that Trump gets to proclaim victory while they're forced to remain silent. Maybe they think that even though they failed to convict Trump by law, they report they wrote tells a story persuasive enough to convict him in the court of popular opinion.
