Here are six important tips for navigating whatever comes next.

1. Don’t 👏 predict 👏
We don’t know what’s in there, and we don’t know what will be made public.
The House wants it public, but it’s up to the attorney general at this point.

2. Stop focusing on collusion.
3. We already know a *lot*.
For example: Trump had business interests involving Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.
(He denied it).

4. Don’t expect answers to everything (or even most things)
Mueller’s job was to look for crimes. It’s unlikely he dug into everything, though there’s plenty to check out. The hush money, the inauguration, etc.

5. Mueller’s not the only one who’s been investigating. There’s also:
- Fed. prosecutors in NYC are on the Inauguration
- NY attorney general is looking into the Trump Foundation
- DC’s attorney general + the state of MD are suing Trump over emoluments

6. The final judgments on Trump’s actions will likely be political, not legal*
Mueller probably won’t charge Trump with a crime while he’s president.
*but, former presidents can be indicted.

Bonus: There’s going to be tons of speculation this week, but this week’s episode of #TrumpInc deals with facts.
Namely, that Trump stood to make big $$$ by staying in the Kremlin's good graces. Listen up.
