Be wary of trusting anything in THE NATION. I've been seeing a lot of overlap

between their reporting and The INTERCEPT, the Glenn Greenwald publication.

For example, Aaron Mate is a reporter at The Nation who has also written for The Intercept.

I hope everyone will take the time to read Mueller's actual report, not The Nation's or The Intercept's spin on it.
