As we await the release of Bill Barr’s redacted version of the Mueller Report I wanted to put together an overview of the important details we know about it or think we know with some reliability based on available reporting. Some of these points are basic and well-known (the approximate length for instance). But I think they’re worth collecting together in one place in advance of tomorrow’s release. We’ll be overrun by rapid takes from multiple directions. So it’s worth keeping these points in mind as a framework, a set of basic outlines, to understand it in.

An additional point, I understand that Barr may have another big thumb to put on the scales for tomorrow’s release. So don’t be surprised. Beyond that, we should see what happens tomorrow as Barr’s best effort to cover for Trump within the thinnest interpretation of the law.
