What I saw in that report was a portrait of utter corruption. It's even worse than I thought it would be, and I wanted to take a shower in bleach after I read it. If you read the legal analyses in some of the footnotes, it's obvious that Mueller is setting up both a road map to impeachment and the legal and factual basis for prosecution when Trump is out of office.

i sent what i thought was the full redacted report to FedEx, expecting it to be over 400 pages. It is less than that - am I missing something? Thank you

There's lots of redactions, loads of footnotes, and plenty of legal stuff that's just beyond me. But I'm chipping away at it, bouncing back and forth between Volume 1 (on page 44 there) and Volume 2 (on page 23). Parts of it so far are fairly dry so I zoomed over to Volume 2 page 78 where Shitler says 'I'm fucked'.. that livened things up a bit.

started reading the pdf, but I just really prefer paper. I buy books and read books all the time. I'm thinking with this it may end up in the cedar chest for posterity, so it was worth the $70 to have it printed and bound.

I'll get my highlighter and post-its handy. maybe while canvassing I'll just have it with me for reference purposes. unfortunately i am sure that most people will not read it in spite of how vitally important it is.
