everyone else, I haven’t yet seen the Mueller report. But I will offer one warning: for at least the next few days, the only public information will be leaks—official or otherwise—from the


Justice Department. These leaks will almost certainly be calculated to present the report in the most favorable light. The goal is to influence the initial news reporting and thus influence


the public before we see any of the details. So: take the reporting over the next few days with a big grain of salt. It’s almost certain not to be a balanced account. Wait for the whole


report to come out before you conclude anything one way or the other.
