When special counsel Robert Mueller’s report is released in a matter of hours, among its many other implications, it’s going to put the media’s reputation on the line.

There is a lot riding on the release of the report. First and foremost, it will reveal what Mueller found about Russian election interference, evidence of collusion by the Trump campaign, and efforts by President Trump to obstruct justice. Even if his actions didn’t meet the legal threshold needed to take the extraordinary step of indicting a sitting president, there’s the question of whether Democrats believe that there’s enough evidence in the report to pursue impeachment.
