ORLANDO, Fla. — U.S. Attorney General William Barr said Thursday that he transmitted redacted copies of special counsel Robert Mueller’s highly anticipated report on Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election to Congress.
Barr said the report went to the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate judiciary committees first.

"Florida" is mentioned in the #MuellerReport 30 times.

The Attorney General should not throw the honorable and hard-working people of the Justice Department under the bus to defend the president.

An actual, unbiased summary of the Mueller Report would have mentioned that Mueller's investigation led to criminal charges against six of the President's closest associates, including his campaign manager, deputy campaign manager, national security advisor, and personal lawyer.

Mueller’s team concluded what the President has been saying all along: No Collusion.

This conclusion comes after nearly 2 years, with 19 lawyers, 40 staff, more than 2,800 subpoenas, nearly 500 search warrants, and around 500 witnesses.
The American ██████ deserve the truth. Congress needs to see the full unredacted ██████.

Who should read the audiobook version of the #MuellerReport ?
— irregular *and* outlandish (@judihayes) April 17, 2019
I wonder how many people are going to read the 448-page #MuellerReport vs how many are going to retweet the Game of Thrones meme?

AG Barr must feel pretty nervous about #MuellerReport obstruction of justice theories coming out today. Otherwise why have this preemptive, whitewash press conference this morning? https://t.co/JML9s28iIq

Just downloaded Volume I of II of the redacted #MuellerReport. This would take me at least a solid week of reading to comprehend.

The #MuellerReport is out and there is no evidence of collusion or obstruction (obviously since the investigation and the report finished). The left is running #TrumpColluded because they're in denial. Plus this is no longer America when you are guilty until you prove innocence.

The #MuellerReport may not PROVE collusion, but we can't PROVE gravity, either, there's a heck of a lot of evidence supporting it. "Proof" can be tricky, especially when it's buried under layers of lies, but that doesn't change the fact it's the truth.
