30. Around March 5th, it was reported that Barr & Mueller

were disagreeing on the report - less than three weeks after Barr was confirmed.

But Barr had three weeks notice, since Mueller and his team informed him in a March 5 meeting that they would not reach a conclusion on obstruction, according to a person familiar with the gathering.

Ari Melber just interviewed Carter Page & Michael Caputo who said Mueller's people were still interviewing people about collusion two weeks ago .. around the middle of March.

The court was told this week that the Mueller Grand Jury is still going "robustly".
Redactions is an issue for the public version of the report because investigations still continue.

Mueller seemed to jettison a number of cases to other attorneys in the justice department over the last number of weeks.

Barr had the authority as an incoming AG to make budgetary decisions and had the authority to yank Mueller's budget.

So it is plausible but I haven't seen any absolute proof. I strongly suspect Barr pulled the plug.

There is a very good chance we'll find out for sure when Barr, Rosenstein and Mueller testify.
