The redacted Mueller Report has been released publicly and CNN has made it available here, although I note that it says Vol 1 of 2. The pundits are busy reading and posting interesting pieces way faster than I, working dude, can do, so I’ll take a gander at the report but I don’t expect to find anything before anyone else does.
However, how much will this influence the President’s approval ratings? I expect he’ll drop 3-5 points, but not more; it’s even possible he’ll move up if the anti-Trump pundits lose the propaganda war to the pro-Trump pundits. It’s a sad truth, but it’s unlikely that the general public will read the report, and there are few news media sources that are considered to be unbiased. Even if there were a few more, most folks get tied into their favorite biased source, such as Fox News, and that source goes with what has brought it profit in the past. Oh, I know, WaPo, The New York Times, and many other outlets would love to be seen as unbiased, and even work towards it – but, given this President’s exceptionally poor behavior, it’s hard to honestly report on him without looking biased. That’s how bad he’s become.
I encourage my readers to read the report and make up their own minds. But I doubt most folks will.
