.MaddowBlog: Mueller report details Pres. Trump’s efforts to undermine Russia scandal probe.
As you’ve probably heard, the Justice Department released a redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report late this morning, and while it’s impossible to summarize a 448-page document in two sentences, this Associated Press report struck me as quite compelling.
The first question appears to have been answered in definitive fashion. Literally, the second sentence of the Mueller report says, “The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion.” It’s a detail the Republican president has never acknowledged, at least not publicly, and it’s an assessment that skeptics of the Russia scandal have long resisted, but by fair measure, the debate over this has run its course.
And while there’s no shortage of redactions in relevant parts of the Mueller report, it leaves little doubt that there were extensive connections between Russians and Trump insiders, including former campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s briefings with Konstantin Kilimnik, whom “the FBI assesses to have ties to Russian intelligence.”
“[T]he investigation established that several individuals affiliated with the Trump Campaign lied to the Office, and to Congress, about their interactions with Russian-affiliated individuals and related matters,” the Mueller report noted. “Those lies materially impaired the investigation of Russian election interference.”
