For the better part of the last 20 months, we've received drips and drabs of what Mueller knows but have never had a chance to see the whole picture (or anything close to it). But what we don't know is whether Trump himself or his son, Donald Trump Jr., or his son-in-law Jared Kushner, might be implicated of wrongdoing by Mueller. That question has hung over Washington -- and Trump's presidency -- like a dark cloud since Mueller was named special counsel in May 2017. The assumption has long been that Mueller's report, whenever it came out, would function as a sort of last word on all of this. And yet, now that we have at least the possibility of a light at the end of this tunnel, I am more and more convinced that the clarity that so many people want from the Mueller report may simply never come.
