    Nothing okay here

    There is NOTHING that was okay with this hocus pocus antics of a flawed and untrue document. No matter how you package it and feed it full of integrity from famous people. It has definitely opened up my eyes on who NOT to watch in the future but I also tossed at least a dozen movies.

    Thanks for your opened opinions that made me realize just how dumb you Hollywood types are!

    Was it true? No. A paid for and published fiction by you know who that you keep trying to pawn off as true.

    Some how lipstick 💄 on a pig comes to mind. Just in doing their bidding you have definitely documented your own careers down fall.

    Adjust your expectations ...

    This is a reading of the history surrounding the Mueller (and Comey before him) report. It´s not a play nor a movie, just an account of what has happened.

    If you realize this it´s all pretty straight forward and it gives you a good picture of what has happened during those 3-4 years.

    Don´t watch it if you´re a Trump supporter because you´ll probably don´t like to hear the truth put in chronological order. Don´t watch it either when you expect to be able to sit on the couch with a bag of potato chips, hoping to be entertained.

    If you like to get informed and want to get a clear view on the situation, watch it !

    You can find it on youtube

    Not a movie

    This is a recounting of what happened. Those still saying that it was a hoax, really need to reread the report. There were like 199 indictments and I think 37 guilty pleas all stemming from the report. Either due to russian election interference, or obstructing the investigation of election fraud (Roger Stone). People went to jail, were deported, or removed from their positions. People don't do that for a "hoax", you can't convict, and you don't plead guilty to "hoaxes" you guys are ridiculous.

    I love a lot of the actors that portrayed characters in this for the re-enactment of it, and thought they did it without going too over the top or making it bias in anyway. Was an informative piece.

    An abridged summary of the Mueller Report, focused on the 10 acts of obstruction of justice by Trump

    An interesting treatment of the Mueller Report, with at times entertaining voice treatments by the various actors assigned to voice the people involved. Not a substitute for the full report, which is available as a free audio book. Nothing new is brought to light, though perhaps it could bring a different audience to the truth of the abuses Trump has performed with the powers of the office of the President.

      The venue was appropriate, since Riverside Church has long been known for its political and social activism. It was there that Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous speech condemning the Vietnam War.
