The Mueller Report, Released April 18, 2019 – Special Counsel Investigation into Donald Trump, Russia, and Collusion

Background

On May 17, 2017, Robert S. Mueller III was appointed by acting Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein to serve as Special Counsel. Special Counsel Mueller’s job was to oversee the previously-confirmed FBI investigation of Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election and related matters. After nearly two years, the below is the report generated by Mueller’s investigation, and it is commonly referred to as, “The Mueller Report.”  This was released on April 18, 2019. There are color coded “redactions” with explanations on why the material is redacted.

The document, as released by the Department of Justice, is available below, unedited. The only change is the addition of “The Black Vault” header, which accompanies every .pdf file downloaded from this website. I also included a SEARCHABLE .pdf, which was created by myself. As with most government document drops, they release it without a search capability. You can find that version below, as well, as created by The Black Vault. Other than a searchable conversion (OCR process), there are no changes to the document, accept the addition of the header.

According to myriad reports including CNN, key takeaways include:

The Special Counsel Could Not Prove Donald Trump Jr. ‘Willfully’ Broke the Law in Reference to the 2016 Trump Tower Meeting With Russians

Donald Trump Jr. at the 2017 White House Easter egg roll.

“The Office ultimately concluded that, even if the principal legal questions were resolved favorably to the government, a prosecution would encounter difficulties proving that Campaign officials or individuals connected to the Campaign willfully violated the law,” the report reads.

A search of the term “Trump Jr” yielded 142 results.

Trump Sought Damaging Information on Hillary Clinton & Her Emails

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton (R) and Republican nominee Donald Trump walk off the stage after the final presidential debate at the Thomas & Mack Center on the campus of the University of Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 19, 2016.

CNN reported that “Trump asked campaign aides to find Hillary Clinton’s emails.”

Trump campaign adviser George Papadopolous met with an Australian diplomat Alexander Downer and told him Russia had offered to assist the campaign with damaging information it had on then-Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Trump is not Exonerated on Obstruction

“I’m f*cked,” Donald Trump reportedly said, according to the Mueller Report.

“While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,” the report reads. Evidence “about the President’s actions and intent presents difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred …If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state.”

A search of the term “President Trump” produced 72 results.

Trump is Not Above the Law & Congress Can Investigate

“The conclusion that Congress may apply the obstruction laws to the President’s corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law,” the report reads.
