So, the Mueller report.

There's not much in here that we didn't know.

Right. I mean, the most amazing part is the plain sight piece of this.

I have been talking to Slate's Dahlia Lithwick about the Mueller report for months.

If today were the day that we started indicting the Michael Flins and the Michael Coens and all the stuff that had happened...

Then it would be a bombshell.

We'd be like, oh, my God, they're indicting his campaign.

But because those people that all happened and sort of had this slow role, there's a way in which we saw much of this.

I mean, there were a couple of new details here.

Like the story of what happened when President Trump first learned Robert Mueller was going to be investigating his administration.

Trump reportedly slumped down in his chair and said, oh my God, this is terrible.

This is the end of my presidency. I'm fucked.

But that story isn't what caught Dahlia's attention.

What gobsmacked me was the disparity between Bill Barr's construction of events and then an hour later

on spooling this document that absolutely doesn't exculpate, doesn't exonerate. And also,

hold on a second, because here comes the Attorney General of the United States. We see him walking up

to the microphone right now.

He'll have an opening statement.

Dali is talking about the press conference, Attorney General Bill Barr had, just before posting Mueller's report.

For a half hour, Barr defended the president.

He even embraced Trump's language that Robert Mueller had found no collusion.

The special counsel found no collusion. After finding no underlying collusion with Russia, there was no evidence of the Trump campaign collusion with the Russian government's hacking.
