What you took away from Mueller’s testimony to Congress this week depends on a few things, like whether you already read the full report (or even just the summaries), whether you watched the full testimony, where you get your news from, and what you believed before his testimony.

1. Here are the highlights if your news source employs a fact checker:

• • Russia is absolutely intent on meddling in our elections. They did it in 2016, they’ll do it in 2020, and they’re probably doing it now.
  • Trump’s campaign members and associates had many contacts with Russian agents and officials, and they pretty much all lied about it to investigators.
  • “Problematic is an understatement in terms of what [Trump’s praise for Wikileaks] displays of giving some hope or some boost to what is and should be illegal behavior.”
  • Trump tried several times to get White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire Mueller and then Trump tried to cover that up.
  • Trump tried several times to get Jeff Sessions to unrecuse himself from the investigation so he could limit the scope of the investigation to only future campaigns, thus excluding his own campaign.
  • Trump encouraged witnesses to stay loyal and urged them to not cooperate with prosecutors.
  • The report doesn’t exonerate anyone.
  • Trump tried to get James Comey to stop investigating Michael Flynn.
  • Trump tried to keep emails about the Trump Tower meeting secret.
  • Trump asked staff to falsify records related to the Mueller investigation.
  • Trump’s written answers to Mueller were inadequate, incomplete, and sometimes untruthful.
  • Trump’s associates opened themselves up to counterintelligence risks of blackmail with their behavior during the election.
  • Mueller did not reach a determination of whether Trump committed a crime because DOJ standards say a sitting president can’t be indicted.
  • And finally, collusion is not a legal term.

2. Here are the highlights if your news sources are Fox:

• • The FISA warrant a) began this whole thing and b) was obtained based on information in the Steele Dossier. The dossier didn’t start it, and the FISA warrant application barely mentions the dossier.
  • The Mueller report debunks the Steele Dossier. The report mostly mentions the dossier as part of the timeline of events, and isn’t used as evidence. The report does say the dossier was wrong about Michael Cohen being in Prague (Volume II, page 139).
  • The Trump Tower meeting was a setup by Fusion GPS’s Glenn Simpson and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. There’s no evidence to indicate this.
  • Simpson provided the information Veselnitskaya brought to the Trump Tower meeting. This one is actually true, but it was research work done as part of a legal case for Prevezon, a client both had in common (see link above).
  • Konstantin Kilimnik is a secret FBI informant. Not really, but he is kind of a mystery.
  • Along those lines, Josef Mifsud, who met with George Papadopoulos, is a Western intelligence agent, not a Russian one. He doesn’t appear to be.
  • The Clinton campaign laundered money through a lawyer to pay a foreign agent (Steele) to get dirt on Trump. And Clinton was the one to collude with Russia, not Trump. First, the campaign‘s lawyer hired Fusion GPS, not Steele. Second, so the Clinton campaign colluded to… lose the election to Trump?
  • Peter Strzok’s and Lisa Page’s texts are evidence that the investigation itself was biased. The DOJ’s inspector general found otherwise. This line of questioning leads to a passionate defense by Mueller of his team. He says he didn’t ask anyone about their politics because they don’t affect a team member’s ability to do their job.

I think I should note here that regardless of whether you do believe the Trump Tower meeting was a setup and regardless of whether you do believe Mifsud and Kilimnik are U.S. intelligence fronts, the Trump campaign was totally interested in sharing information with them while under the impression that they were Russian operatives. Nobody forced them into the decisions they made.
