As I See It
Mueller report needs to be released in full
The investigation is over. It took 675 days for Special Counsel Robert Mueller to complete his investigation, and now his work is done. But so far, only one person in the United States of America has been able to read the full report. That needs to change. We need to know what it says. And that has sparked a rare agreement in the nation’s capitol, with both Republicans and Democrats calling for its full release. Even President Trump has suggested the full report should be released. We have waited, wondered and speculated what the investigation into President Trump’s possible involvement in Russian meddling in the 2016 election would find. Was there really no collusion with America’s chief adversary? Was there obstruction of justice by America’s Commander in Chief? Was there hush-money? Was there lying? We deserve to know whether any or all of that is true. The nation has been captivated, with this very high-stakes investigation. Now we need to be able to see for ourselves what it says. So far it is like watching a television show for a full season, but then missing the finale. Or reading a book with no final chapter. This has been a cliffhanger. Now all of America should get to read this report so we all know what really happened.
