Once the Judiciary Committee hearing got underway, it was so utterly partisan that it seemed Republicans and Democrats were operating in parallel universes — and that tended to muffle the uproar over the once-secret Mueller letter. The implication was that Mueller, given his independence, should have made the call, and instead made the report what Barr called "my baby." Oddly enough, Barr also said Mueller declined his offer to review the four-page summary in advance. But there was no obstruction, Barr said, because "presumably" someone else would have been named to replace Mueller. In the end, the spat between Barr and Mueller will be a historical footnote.
