The Mueller Report's biggest open secret | Opinion (via SethAbramson)
Nearly every claim made by Donald Trump and his allies in the Republican Party about Volume 1 of the Mueller Report—that copious volume that deals with accusations Trump or his campaign conspired with the Kremlin—has been false.
So how is this possible? How is one of the most historically important documents ever produced by the U.S. Department of Justice so woefully misunderstood? Second, Mueller was explicit in writing that he only considered one potential act of"conspiracy" or"coordination" : whether Trump or anyone on his campaign conspired with one of two Kremlin-sponsored entities, either Russian military intelligence or the Internet Research Agency , and did so as part of the"election interference" efforts undertaken by these two organizations.
Indeed, Mueller reports in Vol. 1 that the evidence withheld from him might well have shed"new light" on the evidence he'd already found, or even be new evidence that would itself significantly alter his conclusions. So Mueller can't even say his findings on the conspiracy question are"final," and in fact he underscores in Vol. 1 that they're very much contingent: that is, any new information might well amend them, and dramatically.
