Summary
On April 18th 2019, The Justice Department released the redacted Mueller Report to the public. The 448 page document details a story that has captured America’s attention. From Russian plots to interfere in our election to constitutional questions of executive power, the Mueller Report is potentially one of the most important and consequential documents of our time. But there’s a problem: Very few people have read it.
There is still so much confusion about the Report. What it says, who it implicates, and what it means for our country. At Lawfare, we are distilling the report into a multi part audio narrative series, telling you the story of what is in this document, the story Mueller wants you to understand.

| 0:00.0 | Breaking news out of Washington, special counsel Robert Mueller has concluded his |
| 0:04.7 | investigation and delivered his final report to US Attorney General William Barr. |
| 0:13.9 | On April 18th 2019 the Justice Department released the redacted Mueller |
| 0:19.1 | report to the public. The 448 page document details a story that has |
| 0:24.8 | captured America's attention. From Russian plots to interfere with our |
| 0:29.1 | election to constitutional questions of executive power the Mueller report is |
| 0:33.8 | potentially one of the most important and consequential documents of our |
| 0:37.8 | time. But there's a problem. Very few people have actually read it. Two years |
| 0:46.4 | ago the acting Attorney General asked me to serve as special counsel and he |
| 0:50.6 | created the special counsel's office. It is important that the offices written |
| 0:55.0 | work speak for itself. It contains our findings and analysis and the reasons |
| 0:59.9 | for the decisions and the report is my testimony. The charge to say it was the |
| 1:04.8 | work of 12 officers of Russian military intelligence. The report did not clear |
| 1:09.6 | the president of obstruction of justice who relentlessly sought to use top |
| 1:13.9 | White House staffers to quote curtail the investigation. The clearly stated |
| 1:18.9 | the Russian government wasn't a fact behind the interference operations that |
| 1:23.1 | were seeing at the time. If you endeavor to obstruct justice but fail it's still |
| 1:27.9 | a crime. If you obstruct justice but it turns out there's no underlying crime it's |
| 1:32.5 | still a crime. There was no collusion with Russia the most ridiculous thing I've |
| 1:38.5 | ever heard. Mueller report outlines disturbing evidence that President Trump |
| 1:42.9 | engaged in obstruction of justice and other misconduct. They made a decision |
| 1:47.2 | that there was no obstruction so that makes it a complete and total exoneration. |
