On Quora, die-hard Trump supporter Eda Acuri asked this question yesterday: Why should the American public NOT take the Democrats interpretation of the Mueller's report?

I can only answer on my behalf. First of all, let me congratulate you on writing a prime example of a loaded question. It sounds polite enough, but (a) it’s based on the question writer’s belief that the 2016 Presidential election was fair and honest, and (b) it’s fawning almost to the point that I can hear my eyeballs click as they roll in their sockets. Second, this Democratic voter from the great state of Florida acc
