Predictions: What percentage of the Mueller Report will be redacted

[FenderTL5]

We are mere hours away:
Simple poll - guess how much will be redacted?

 

[High Fidelity]

More than likely the majority of it.

Pathetic really.

 

[JosephZ]

Even if more than 50% of the report is redacted, there are still likely to be many embarrassing revelations about the president's personal life, evidence detailing the level of incompetence within the Trump administration, and of wrong doing on the part of the president. It just wasn't enough to bring a criminal indictment.

Regardless, I think those celebrating the exoneration of the president did so prematurely. Even the redacted version of the report should provide enough insight that the president and those around him conducted themselves unethically.

 

[NothingIsImpossible]

Eh. Since it doesn't show Trump is guilty, I see no point of seeing it. Seems some just want to grasp at straws out of pure hatred from Trump at this point. I can't imagine living my life every second of the day hating someone and what not. Ironically they say they don't care about him, but yet here we are.

This president has a history of acting unethically. That should surprise no one.
That said, my intent here is one of general curiosity and entertainment rather than hardened political/legal critique.

Bwaahhahahahhaaaaa!!

I am going to guess that it will be a lot, but only because the whole thing was a fishing expedition.

Under those circumstances, all sorts of subpoenas were issued, testimony taken, and etc. which led nowhere but did bring up the names of people who were not part of the mission of the commission. These all have to be kept private.

 

[NothingIsImpossible]

Read it now, not much was redacted. And ironically Trump had nothing to do with the Russian hack or WikiLeaks. No surprise.

That's not entirely true: Mueller says Trump was unsuccessful in obstructing justice - but mostly because his aides didn't follow his orders and Mueller says Trump's public acts can be considered obstruction. Ironically, his supporters are fervently insisting that he's been exonerated, but repeating that misleading narrative doesn't change the fact that he hasn't been exonerated by the report.

Well, it was said by all the critics for month after month that he colluded with the Russians.

That has been found to be baseless, so the same people have had to look for something else. Now.

And if it was not that...it would be something else. It really doesn't matter, so long as he won the election and they do not like that he did.

You make it sound like he is off the hook for any crime he did commit because there are some he may not have committed.

 

[Albion]

You make it sound like he is off the hook for any crime he did commit because there are some he may not have committed.

And you make it sound as though he certainly did commit crimes.

 

[archer75]

His public words and actions sure do give that impression.

 

[Shiloh Raven]

He could still be charged with obstruction of justice.

Mueller says Trump's public acts can be considered obstruction

In his report, Mueller invites Congress to investigate Trump obstruction​

Mueller: Congress still has ability to find the President obstructed justice

 

[Shiloh Raven]

His public words and actions sure do give that impression.

Not to mention the fact that he's still refusing to release his tax returns after promising that he would release them. I think his continued refusal on this begs the question - What is he trying to hide?

I think thats called double stupidity.

There's a great visual representation of the redaction here (linkage)
As example, one of the more redacted sections looks like this:

I followed the link. Most of the redaction appears to be Russia related. I'd suppose that the redacted sections primarily reveal how we know what we know. That sort of thing is just the sort of thing that ought to be redacted.

The more troubling part, without reading it, is the Prosecution and Declination Decisions section.

All in all, the reported information seems damning enough.
