I have the Washington Post version of the Mueller report. I have read through their introduction and Mueller's introduction, and now I am reading the part of what the Russkies did to sway the election.
The breadth is stunning. A lot of social media stuff. a lot. They were even using it to recruit real Americans to hold demonstrations, much of the bullshit that started with them was retweeted by Trump and his cronies. A lot of hacking. Of the dems, none of the reps. And then this was leaked back to republican operatives who it's hard to believe did not know where it was coming from. Wikileaks favored Trump over Hilary and was totally in the bag for him acting as a conduit between the Russkies and republican operatives and the public. It has been floated well, sure the Russkies interfered with out election, but it was mostly to cause chaos, not favoring either candidate. This is not true it was 90 percent pro Trump or anti Hilary.
Four hundred pages, is it really that long? There are bloated best sellers two and three times as long. And yet people are accepting whatever their commentators say in like one page as sufficient information to guide their opinions. Note the performance of Barr who ignored what Mueller said and decided for himself what it all meant and put that out like a month before the report.
Maybe a quarter of the book is redacted. I don't know what to say about what I don't know, but after Barr's performance once wonders if stuff was redacted for legal reasons or because it made Trump look bad.
I am on page 54 of the report and just getting to The Trump Campaign and Dissemination of Materials.
