Summary

On The Gist, we should be willing to accept that the Barr letter and Mueller report won't lead to any indictments. In the interview, David Priess, former CIA staffer and daily intelligence briefer for Robert Mueller, is here to talk about the Mueller report. What do we know? What questions are still unanswered? And where do we go from here? Priess' latest book is How to Get Rid of a President: History's Guide to Removing Unpopular, Unable, or Unfit Chief Executives.  In the Spiel, the Mueller report does not exonerate Trump, even if Trump thinks it does.

and even print a medium based on distilling often sprawling
