It’s (finally) Mueller time: If you didn’t spend all weekend raptly awaiting further details from Robert Mueller’s report, catch up on our coverage: Ted Boutrous argues that Mueller really messed up by staying quiet for so long, Will Saletan does a close reading of AG William Barr’s summary of the report, Mark Joseph Stern notes that Barr is doing exactly what Trump hired him for, and David Lurie explains why Barr’s exoneration of Trump is in fact dangerous. Plus, Justin Peters watched Fox News so you don’t have to. There’s even more to dig into here.
