Read the Mueller report

Pardon the brevity; submitted via my mobile phone.

[Update (20190418_203255 UTC) --martyb]

I was listening to the radio while running an errand when I heard the Mueller Report had been released. The above link was the first that came up when I did a search. I quickly posted the story using my mobile phone to get it to the community as quickly as possible. Here are additional sources as well as the MD5SUM and resultant file sizes from downloading each. The CNN file has a different size from the others. A quick inspection suggests that it contains searchable text (presumably through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) processing) whereas the others contain images of each of the pages in the report.

    If they are "working closely with" Mueller's team then they are not part of Mueller's team, are they?

    Watch Barr's press conference.

    I just reported what he said. If there were lies or omissions, they were Barr's, not mine.

    I have no skin in the game either way, and I find your ignorant slander quite offensive.

    It's kind of sad, as you're often spot on. Not this time though. And as you loosed your venom on me, fuck you!

          Your point? The only reason you're conversing on the topic at all is the massive amount of butthurt going on from not finding what you so desperately wanted to find. It could not be found despite years of searching with the full powers of the court system backing it. That's the cranky and the cause of the cranky.

        "These redactions were applied by Department of Justice attorneys working closely together with attorneys from the Special Counsel's Office"

        Original AC here. You assume that I'm lying, but you didn't even watch the press conference. Because Barr specifically mentioned US attorneys prosecuting cases that arose the the investigation. And no, I'm not going to go back through the Press conference and listen to that piece of shit Barr all over again, just to give you a location in the video. Once was way too many times.

        DOJ attorneys == referred to US Attorneys who are currently prosecuting cases that arose from the Mueller investigation.

        If you'd taken the time to listen to the whole press conference rather than looking for "gotchas" to hurl at me you'd realize that.

        Maybe you should read some of this [soylentnews.org], as you're channeling this [penny-arcade.com] pretty well right now.

        Barr said that there were four major areas where redactions occurred. One of those was something along the lines of "so as not jeopardize open investigations." He was asked by a reporter *after* his prepared remarks (did you just read the DOJ transcript [justice.gov]) about those redactions and specifically detailed the interest of the DOJ attorneys he mentioned.

        Geez Louise!

          Correct, I read the transcript of the teleconference that you provided a link to. That is a faster way to synthesize the information and it allows me to provide direct quotes to back up my arguments.

          Maybe you should try it?

            I did read the transcript. And saw that it was incomplete. I *watched* the press conference on CSPAN because I though it was actually the release of the report.

            Since you relied on an incomplete document, you missed the part where Barr said exactly what I said he did.

            And you called me a liar. Not, "are you sure? that wasn't in the transcript." Not, "I don't see that anywhere. Where did Barr say that?"

            No. You said: "You're lying." Which was nasty and flat wrong.

            Own your mistakes, DeathMonkey. Otherwise, you're no better than the moronic Trump apologists and trollish assholes who spew their nasty right-wing, "everyone who doesn't suck Trump's cock is a communist" shit all over this site.

            Until today, while you were sometimes a bit over the top, I usually agreed with the points you made, even if you added some hyperbole -- but we all do that now and again.

            But attack me for reporting what someone said, especially when it's so easy to check? I'm disappointed in you.

    Learn to English.

    If they are "working closely with" Mueller's team then they are not part of Mueller's team, are they?

    And there are *at least* nine (count 'em) investigations outsdide the purview of the special counsel that arose from evidence collected by the special counsel's team.

    Who do you think is investigating/prosecuting those cases? Yep. US Attorneys. US attorneys work for the DOJ.

    And since those DOJ attorneys are prosecuting cases based on evidence from the Mueller investigation, they must be working with the Mueller team.

    I'm amazed that I have to connect every dot for you. Are you that ignorant of what's been going on, or do you just want to attack someone and I got "lucky" today?
