A few thoughts on the report ....
A) there are new instances such as the president asking Lewandowski to tell Sessions to say the Russia probe was "very unfair" to the president, which Lewandowski didn't do.
B) When the special counsel was appointed, POTUS said it was the "end of my presidency."
C) As the president now embraces this report and says it exonerates him, it's worth noting that the report confirms a lot of the reporting by NYT, WaPo and others about the president's actions, many of which he or his advisers denied in real time.
D) Any number of times the president claimed “fake news” at all of our real-time reporting. So did several of his aides. They are now citing Mueller as the gold standard.
E) The witnesses who were worried about exposure in this report had reason to be. A number of witnesses are mentioned by name, giving Trump a road map to retaliate through hate-tweet if he wants to.
F) Many of his aides, as we all reported in real time, stopped him from obstructing the investigation.
