The Mueller Report: Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election

By Robert S. Mueller, III and Special Counsel's Office Dept of Justice

Perhaps the most anticipated publication in American history, this is the full text, Volumes 1 and 2, of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. It is THE REPORT AND NOTHING BUT THE REPORT, in a beautifully typeset edition, with full searchability in ebook formats. It is, word for word, presented exactly as released by the Attorney General of the United States, with no positioning -- such as a celebrity introduction -- that would give it bias or impede its clarity. 

One of the most-talked-about investigations in American history, the subject of constant media discussion and speculation, non-stop and controversial attacks from the president, and the eager anticipation of a public wondering what the truth is, this long-awaited publication is an historic event.

The Mueller Report continues Melville House's "tradition of publishing pivotal public documents."—The New York Times

Trump is guilty as hell. Period. That's all you need to know.

I am embarrassed to say that this took me longer to read than I anticipated, despite it not being a difficult read. In fact, it read like a spy novel, only with real ramifications as it is based on what actually happened during the 2016 Presidential Election. I also would like to point out that I am a registered Republican, though I am not a supporter of President Trump. After following his business and personal life for too many years, I made the determination prior to voting that he was not a candidate I could support. However, that did not preclude me from reading this report with my only goal being to learn what really happened and learn I did. Despite Trump's assertion that there was no collusion, a view shared by Mueller, and no obstruction, a view Mueller did not share, this report was an eye opener. While Mueller found no collusion, there were way too many contacts between Trump's staff and Russian business people and government officials for me to feel comfortable with. I feel no good came from those numerous contacts. Furthermore, the section on obstruction truly frightened me. One example occurred when Trump asked KT McFarland to write a document declaring Trump did not tell Micheal Flynn to discuss sanctions with Russian diplomat Kislyak. Since she was up for an ambassadorship in Singapore, she declined because it would look like the appointment was a "quid pro quo." Shades of Ukraine? I came away agreeing with Mueller - there was no way to find Trump did not commit obstruction of justice based on the known facts and that if one reads he answers to the Special Counsel's questions, one really wonders just how much he is hiding. I am so glad I actually read the document and do not rely on others to interpret it for me. Every American who cares should do so.

Wonderful book.Trump clearly obstructed justice, and one can see hisfrustration mounting. the author does not believe in pursuing criminalcharges against a sitting President, because that is all the opposition would do. But the President violated every rule in the book as is clearly set out in volume 11 of the report.

I downloaded the PDF file of The Mueller Report because I thought I should read it for myself. It was a bit of a slog, though coherently and even succinctly written -- it took me 2 weeks to get through it. I can't say I learned a whole lot that was new as I've become a bit of a news junky, following this Presidency both on TV and in newspaper reports. The number of contacts among trump campaign operatives and Russians as described in Volume I is staggering, and in Volume II, the evidence that the the president has tried to obstruct justice in both the Mueller investigation and in congressional investigations is totally convincing to me. But go and read it for yourself.

This Audible edition of the Mueller report is both interesting and frustrating. The narrators did an incredible job, and that they were able to do it so quickly speaks well of their talents. The report itself was well organized and well documented. The heavily redacted version caused much frustration, and I'm sure that's true for most readers/listeners. I also got the Kindle version because this is an important document, redactions and all, and I wanted a print version as well as the audio.

This edition, with contextual reporting and other material from the Washington Post, is as good a print version of the report as any I've found. This important document should be widely—and carefully—read.

Because we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, we did not draw ultimate conclusions about the President's conduct. The evidence we obtained about the President's actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be resolved if we were to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment. At the same time, if we had confidence after a thorough investigation fo the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.Well, that was a slog. Due diligence done. Can't say I enjoyed it, but I'm still glad I read it. Other than the above, which is the Conclusion section of the report, the report essentially lays out all the evidence and cites the relevant laws and rulings. To be honest, I didn't fully understand all of the legal portions. The language of judges and lawyers is not my language. However, I did understand the evidence just fine. The obstruction case is strong. The "collusion" case is not.
