This leads me to believe that Barr was pretty certain that the conversation would go the way that it did and that he was pretty sure that certain people (Democratic members of Congress) would question his viewpoint about the call. It also suggests the reason why Barr was so bold about calling the letter "snitty" and suggesting that it was not written by Mueller. Such language is certainly disrespectful to Mueller and basically suggests that Mueller is being pressured by his subordinates.
But most importantly, it suggest that Barr no longer completely trusts Mueller to tell the truth. It's extremely unlikely that Mueller can dispute anything about the nature of the call, most importantly that he agreed that it was not about substance, but that it was about media coverage.
If Mueller testifies, he is now almost certain to be asked about the letter by Republicans looking to question his motivations. He will likely be asked if indeed he wrote it or if it was pushed on him by a subordinate worried about media coverage. He will be asked to confirm that he agreed that Barr was telling the truth, and that his issue was about media coverage. All of this will make it look like Mueller was being petty and more worried about the political optics than the legal truth.
Perhaps this is why Barr has always been Mueller's boss, not the other way around.

Obunghole was butthurt after the 2016 election
Barack Obama admitted 'this stings' after the 2016 election result and spent the night watching the movie Dr Strange to try and distract himself, a new book claims.
The former president went from being confident that Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump to seeing it as a 'personal insult' that she lost.
Obama could not believe the American people had 'turned on him' for a man he had written off as a 'cartoon'.
As the dust settled Obama told his family that 'this hurts' and blamed Clinton who 'brought many of her troubles on herself' and ran a 'scripted, soulless campaign'.
Dems Solemnly Don Tinfoil Hats Before Questioning Barr On Mueller Report
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Democratic senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee grilled Attorney General William Barr on the Mueller Report at a special hearing Wednesday.
Before they began the proceedings, the senators solemnly donned their tinfoil hats, a staple of Democrats' official uniforms since 2016.
"Is President Trump now, or has he ever been, AN AGENT OF RUSSIA!?" Senator Mazie Hirono screamed, dramatically pointing in Barr's direction. "Has he ever denied eating borscht!? What about playing Tetris? Doing that funny Russian dance thing? HAS HE!?!"
"And it's immediately obvious that when Trump watches Rocky IV, it's NOT Sylvester Stallone he's rooting for!"
When Barr said he didn't have enough information to respond to her questions, Senator Hirono immediately declared he should resign.
"You should resign immediately if you don't subscribe to my debunked conspiracy theory!" she screamed before an aide was forced to tranquilize her again.
At one point, she waved around a document she claimed had a list of all the evidence that Trump had conspired with the Russians during the 2016 election. This was later revealed to be a blank piece of paper.
Maybe the Inspector General Report comes out with criminal referrals against top FBI and other Intelligence Agencies Top Brass.
"unemployment rate falls to the lowest since 1969
PUBLISHED 2 HOURS AGO UPDATED AN HOUR AGO
Jeff Cox@JEFFCOXCNBCCOM"
Jobs created, wait, Unexpectedly .... 263,000.
We don't need a $2 Trillion stimulus bill called a infrastructure bill.
Oh and far as Speaker in Name Only Polosi who said the pork spending infrastructure bill was about "jobs, jobs, jobs" lol.
Obimbonomics have been dead since the Election of Trump.
"In April, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for Hispanics and Latinos declined to 4.2 percent, a sharp decline from 4.7 percent in March. That beat record its previous record lows of 4.4 percent hit in October and December. The government began tracking Hispanic employment data in 1973."
Naco President.
All thanx to the great economy Obama left for trump......unlike the busch legacy of failure...

Milestone: Senate Confirms 100 Trump Judges, More to ComePablo Martinez Monsivais, APKEN KLUKOWSKI2 May 2019Washington, DC360

WASHINGTON, DC – Senators on Thursday confirmed the 100th judge nominated by President Donald Trump, marking a major milestone in the president’s pledge to replenish the federal courts with judges like the late originalist icon Antonin Scalia.
The full Senate on Thursday confirmed Rodolfo Ruiz to be a district judge on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. While that name does not ring a bell with most Americans – and while that court might not seem like a major national concern – Ruiz’s confirmation to that federal trial court represents something big regarding one of the top reasons voters sent President Trump to the White House.

Oh and this golf nugget.
"Average hourly earnings rose by 0.2 percent, which follows an increase of 0.1 percent in March. Over the last 12 months, earnings have risen by a healthy 3.2 percent."
Yes over 3% increase.
The flood of great news .
The boomerang from the Democratic Party’s failed attempt to connect Donald Trump to Russia’s 2016 election meddling is picking up speed, and its flight path crosses right through Moscow’s pesky neighbor, Ukraine. That is where there is growing evidence a foreign power was asked, and in some cases tried, to help Hillary Clinton.
In its most detailed account yet, the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington says a Democratic National Committee (DNC) insider during the 2016 election solicited dirt on Donald Trump’s campaign chairman and even tried to enlist the country's president to help.
In written answers to questions, Ambassador Valeriy Chaly's office says DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa sought information from the Ukrainian government on Paul Manafort’s dealings inside the country, in hopes of forcing the issue before Congress.
That is news that is so welcomed.as "crossword boomerang" takes flight.
