Mueller cites two media reports, by strident Russiagaters Julia Ioffe and Ken Dilanian, related to a "meeting" Sessions supposedly had with Kislyak on April 27, 2016. Ioffe and Dilanian use innuendo to cast the meeting as highly suspicious. Muller concludes it was inconsequential 
This "undisclosed meeting" caused one of thousands of media meltdowns in 2017, and led to Sessions' recusal. Mueller says it was essentially a brief exchange of pleasantries at a public event. Just as "skeptics" had said all along was the most plausible explanation.
Note that Ioffe rattled off a self-congratulatory tweet a few days ago about how wonderful the media's coverage was of Trump/Russia. The central insinuation which colored her June 2017 piece (Sessions covered up a suspicious meeting) was rebuked by Mueller
Mueller makes another factual error here. (Second one I've identified: ) Dilanian's piece was published on June 1, 2017 not June 1, 2016. You could say it doesn't matter, but shouldn't this Report have been comprehensively fact-checked with fine-tooth comb?
