Benjamin Wittes offers an excellent summary of the Mueller Report, which you can take as a supplemental analysis to the original, or as an enjoyable way to condense the full 19-hour version (also available on Audible) to an easy-to-follow two-and-a-quarter hours. Highly recommended.

Analytic, insightful, puts everything in context, the time flew by. Weird to say but I didn't want it to end. I have a much better understanding now of those who say impeachment is necessary, irrespective of the politics. Not Ben's words but convinced me that this man is President ONLY because of Russia. Sad.

I can’t stress this enough. The Mueller Report is dense and sometimes confusing. You should still listen to it, but it can be daunting.

This audiobook read by the author is an excellent listen to help us all understand some of the more serious pieces of The Mueller Report. It is Benjamin Wittes’s musings on the report itself and what he perceives to be some of the more egregious actions taken by Trump. This is basically the condensed version of The Mueller Report with Wittes’s conclusions thrown in.

Listen to this now!

After listening to the free Audible Mueller Report download, I was excited to see these 'Notes' by Benjamin Wittes. I had found the audio version of the Report fascinating in clarity and revealing in depth as it detailed incidents that I had known only from cursory news reports, conflicting analyses and Twitter pronouncements from the President. That said, it was even more incredulous to me that this man masquerading as a President could continue his act with a straight face. Mr. Wittes provides a reasoned and thoughtful analysis of what I had just read. He is insightful and narrows the issues down to their essence with the same reasoned and measured approach we are used to hearing on his podcast. The conclusion of his Notes summed up my queasiness. "Are we prepared as a society to define Trump’s conduct as unacceptable for a president? Are we prepared to accept the consequences and risks of doing so? And critically, are we prepared to accept the consequences and risks of not doing so?"

loved it. The narrator was great. I like the fact that he was deliberately slow.

Great read
