Fox & Friends reassures viewers that they don't need to see the Mueller report -- just trust Barr's summary

The hosts of "Fox & Friends" told their viewers on Friday that they shouldn't be bothered by the fact that Attorney General William Barr still hasn't released special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Barr on Sunday claimed in his written summary of Mueller's report that the special counsel did not establish that the president was involved in a conspiracy with the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 election, while also not exonerating him on obstruction of justice charges.

According to Fox's morning show, that summary should be good enough for most Americans to believe the president did nothing wrong. In fact, co-host Ainsley Earhardt went so far as to say she was glad to have Barr's summary instead of having to slog through 300 pages to get the report's conclusions.

"The summary thing, everyone is probably thankful they don’t have to read the 300 pages," she said. "We all will, probably, but you at home, you’re probably not going to sit down and read 300 pages, you want the summary."

Co-host Brian Kilmeade then compared accepting Barr's summary to reading the CliffsNotes of famous books, which he said was sufficient enough for most people to get the gist of what great literature is really about.

"I have a confession: I never ready [Homer's] 'The Odyssey,'" Kilmeade said. "I only read the Monarch notes. I still got a very good grade!"
