I feel the need to reiterate with emphasis: I accept special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings regarding the president of the United States, that he didn’t “collude” with Russians who hacked our electoral system in 2016.<\/p>\n

However, all the work and the public expense that went into Mueller’s findings compel the attorney general to release the bulk of that effort to the public.<\/p>\n

AG William Barr’s four-page summary of what Mueller has concluded reportedly has created an ebullient mood in the White House. At one level, I, too, am glad to know that Donald Trump didn’t commit any crimes related to collusion with Russian government goons.<\/p>\n

I have no intention of impugning Mueller’s integrity. I have sought to defend this good man, former FBI director, a combat veteran of the Vietnam War against attacks by those on the right — starting with the president of the United States.

Americans just have the right to see his findings in as much detail as possible<\/em> for themselves.<\/p>\n\n
