If I had written The Mueller Report, I would have wanted to have at least one sentence per paragraph include exclamation points or inflammatory language. I appreciated that TMR did not punctuate or write in that way and that the team attempted to describe the lay of the land exactly as they saw it: "Only the facts, Ma'am!" Of course, some editorializing and contextualizing would have been helpful.
The difficulties with amateurs attempting to do a job typically performed by highly-trained professionals is that they don't recognize the pitfalls. The moral of TMR is that if you want to move from business to politics, talk to people who know the rules and employ attorneys – those who won't end up in jail at the end of the day.
One of the things that we should be proud of is that TMR was published, even with redactions. It takes courage for a government to open itself up to scrutiny, as it did here. Of course, if there had been a way to stop its publication, it probably would have been. Or misrepresent its conclusions or deny its conclusions.
Oh, yeah. That happened.

1. I wrote much of the above when I was reading TMR in April/May. I only made it about 25% through the report, as it was a difficult and long argument, more difficult than most of the American public is willing to understand. This should be a warning to Congress during the impeachment proceedings: keep it simple!
2. Furthermore, I stopped reading because TMR has since fallen off the media radar. Of course, #2 is probably related to #1.
