(CNN) Attorney General William Barr did two strange things between the time he received special counsel Robert Muelller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and when he released it to Congress and the public. On April 9, in a House hearing, Barr seemed entirely unaware of Mueller's issues with his summary report. At the time -- even without the knowledge we now possess about the Mueller letter of March 27 -- it seemed odd. As I noted at the time, Barr's language was strikingly similar to how Trump himself had long described the Mueller probe. Barr is set to sit to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
