(John Kerry tweet, quoted in the article)

Haven't read the Mueller Report? Watch it live tonight at 9pm - performed by an extraordinary cast, ranging from Annette Bening to @HamillHimself to @ZacharyQuinto and more. An act of public service by these artists.



Mark Hamill, Alyssa Milano, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Annette Bening, Sigourney Weaver, Alfre Woodard and Zachary Quinto are just some of the stars poised to appear Monday in New York at a reading of “The Investigation: A Search For The Truth in 10 Acts.”

The play, which organizers say is “ripped from the pages” of special counsel Mueller’s report on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 White House race, is written by Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan. The one-night-only performance, which is being live-streamed, is being put on by LawWorks, an organization that says it aims to educate the public “on the importance of the rule of law, the role of the special counsel in the justice system, and the integrity of our judicial institutions."

Kerry, who served as secretary of State under former President Barack Obama, has sparred with President Trump in recent months. In May, he fired back at the president after Trump said Kerry should be prosecuted under the Logan Act for speaking to Iranian officials. “Everything Trump said today is simply wrong, end of story,” Kerry said in a May interview with CNN. “He's wrong about the facts, wrong about the law, and sadly he's been wrong about how to use diplomacy to keep America safe,” Kerry said of Trump.

I would like to see a concerted effort to spread the word on our personal social media and to our friends and family about it. Seems like a rare opportunity to have the Mueller investigation results reach a wide audience.
