A (very unclean) text extraction of the Redacted Mueller Report. The text was extracted using pdftools from ROpenSci.

There are a number of other projects and efforts to transcribe the DOJ's PDF version of the Mueller report into better text formats. The following projects are likely a better resources than this simple text extraction.
- Factbase has published a human-reviewed text version of the report at https://f2.link/mr-sheet.
- Open Source Mueller Report is an open source reproduction of the Mueller report into LaTeX.
