Summary
This document appears to be a page from a report or book (possibly Michael Wolff's 'Fire and Fury' or similar political reporting) included in House Oversight records. It discusses the internal deliberations of the Mueller Special Counsel investigation, specifically focusing on the potential indictment of the President for obstruction of justice rather than collusion. It highlights the tension between the White House defense strategy and the 'virulently anti-Trump' faction of the Mueller team, specifically naming Andrew Weissmann.
