The Mueller Report Is Much Worse for Trump Than Barr Let On  —  IF PRESIDENT DONALD Trump isn't guilty of obstruction of justice, who ever could be?  Special counsel Robert Mueller's 448-page report, made public Thursday in redacted form, outlined over nearly half of those pages …

New York Times:
The Mueller Report Is 448 Pages Long.  You Need to Know These 7 Key Things.  —  The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, produced a report of more than 400 pages that painted a deeply unflattering picture of President Trump but stopped short of accusing him of criminal wrongdoing.
Discussion: Roll Call
Marianne LeVine / Politico:
Mueller report ropes in Senate GOP  —  The Senate GOP found itself ensnared in special counsel Robert Mueller's report Thursday, with new revelations about Sen. Richard Burr's communications with the White House and details about a GOP aide's quest to obtain Hillary Clinton's emails.
George T. Conway III / Washington Post:
George Conway: Trump is a cancer on the presidency.  Congress should remove him.  —  George T. Conway III is a lawyer in New York.  —  So it turns out that, indeed, President Trump was not exonerated at all, and certainly not “totally” or “completely,” as he claimed.

Yoni Appelbaum / The Atlantic:
The Mueller Report Is an Impeachment Referral  —  The redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report released on Thursday runs 448 pages.  But its most important implication can be summarized in a single sentence: There is sufficient evidence that President Donald Trump obstructed justice to merit impeachment hearings.
Washington Post:
The Mueller report is the opposite of exoneration  —  THE REPORT of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is not what the American public had been led to expect.  As Attorney General William P. Barr said last month, the special counsel found little evidence of a coordinated plot between Russia …
Julie Pace / Associated Press:
Analysis: Mueller paints a damning portrait of the president  —  WASHINGTON (AP) — To Donald Trump, the start of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation looked alarmingly like the end of his presidency.  So he tried to stop it.  —  His months-long effort pushed the boundaries …

A Lucid Portrait of an Untrustworthy Presidency  —  Mueller's inquiry hasn't undermined Trump.  Trump undermines himself, with help from his aides.  —  President Donald Trump was worried about the wrong thing.  —  Among the more colorful revelations of the Mueller report was Trump's reaction …
Washington Post:
Mueller report findings: Mueller rejects argument that Trump is shielded from obstruction laws  —  President Trump, upon first learning of the appointment of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, cursed and declared, “this is the end of my presidency,” according to the redacted 400-page report …
Andrew C. McCarthy / New York Post:
Mueller completely dropped the ball with obstruction punt  —  The most remarkable thing about special counsel Robert Mueller's 448-page report is how blithely the prosecutor reversed the burden of proof on the issue of obstruction.  —  To be sure, President Trump's conduct outlined on this score isn't flattering, to put it mildly.
Erin Banco / The Daily Beast:
Mueller Exposes Erik Prince's Lies About His Rendezvous with a Top Russian  —  The Blackwater founder repeatedly misled Congress about his infamous meeting in the Seychelles.  What happens to the Trumpworld associate now?  —  Erik Prince, the Trumpworld associate and founder …
Glenn Greenwald / The Intercept:
Robert Mueller Did Not Merely Reject the Trump-Russia Conspiracy Theories.  He Obliterated Them.  —  The two-pronged conspiracy theory that has dominated U.S. political discourse for almost three years - that (1) Trump, his family and his campaign conspired or coordinated with Russia …
Dan Balz / Washington Post:
Mueller's report paints a damning portrait of Trump's presidency  —  The Trump presidency long has been an exercise in normalizing extraordinary behavior, with President Trump repeatedly stretching the limits of what is considered appropriate conduct by the nation's chief executive.
Washington Post:
The Mueller report leaves little doubt: Trump obstructed justice  —  A little over a year ago, President Trump grew so frustrated with the failure of Jeff Sessions to protect him from the Russia investigation that he exclaimed:  —  “I don't have an attorney general.”
