Here is the full *reprocessed* report with the redactions removed. And a hat tip to @EPICprivacy and @BuzzFeedNews for getting the sections unsealed. https://epic.org/2020/11/breaking-doj-releases-new-sect.html
Much of this was known from court evidence and the 302s. That said, it's another thing to see it unsealed in a simple easy-to-read section of the actual Mueller Report. But near impossible for the press to properly cover it without Trump operatives labeling the coverage partisan.
To my last point, also mindblowing I haven't seen a single report from US media. The first one comes from Germany's public broadcaster. I would certainly hope US press doesn't dodge due to timing. Interesting question. cc @brianstelter @Sulliview https://www.dw.com/en/new-sections-of-mueller-report-on-wikileaks-ex-trump-advisor-released-report/a-55480053
And there it is. Again hat tip to @BuzzFeedNews @EPICprivacy @JasonLeopold for getting this unsealed. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonleopold/new-mueller-investigated-julian-assange-wikileaks-and-roger
And as you're reviewing it, recall that Stone was indicted for a lot of other very bad stuff including obstructing justice. He also threatened the federal judge. And then was released by POTUS as Stone stated for not turning on him. https://twitter.com/jason_kint/status/1282140444835696640?s=20
It's also worth a reminder Trump's written testimony conflicted with this newly unsealed evidence in the Mueller report. The Republican-led, bipartisan Senate Intel Report also confirms this. https://twitter.com/jason_kint/status/1295907657589628929?s=20
In other buried Roger Stone shenanigans, the report indicated he was writing pro-Russia tweets for Trump on the night before Manafort turned over polling data to a Russian agent. And this is the stuff we knew despite Stone's obstruction. https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1295721197070684164?s=20
And finally, Robert Mueller did try to tell us all of this in a succinct Washington Post piece as Roger Stone was being let out of his prison sentence by our President. https://twitter.com/selectedwisdom/status/1282270129414443009?s=20
Flagging this note from @BuzzFeedNews editor that the sections above were unsealed in June. The charging decisions on Stone/Assange/WikLeaks were unsealed today. Read the BuzzFeed report above as it's clearly covered. https://twitter.com/kenbensinger/status/1323469775985549313?s=20
ps the fact so many people are seeing those sections for the first time, and I wasn't even clear they were unsealed months ago in the actual Report, might suggest a lot about how this evidence was obstructed and confused from the public understanding.
Adding this @emptywheel thread to last night’s on the election eve unsealing from Mueller Report. https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1323610038112526342
