Crash Course: Attorney Gen. William Barr spent yesterday poring over the Special Counsel report on Russian election-influencing to determine how much of it to relay to Congress and make public. Nothing  was released, but it might come today.

  Barr and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, who oversaw the investigation, are expected to condense the report’s primary conclusions into a letter.

  President Trump has been remarkably silent all day. He went golfing in Florida with Kid Rock.

  Barr has said he wants to reveal as much information as possible, but that might run headlong into a Justice Department policy of withholding damning information about people not criminally indicted. The Justice Department  says the report does not make any further criminal recommendations.

  Congressional Democrats are also pressing for full disclosure not only of the report but all of its underlying documentation, which could cause a legal and political battle. 

  Republicans are restraining themselves from declaring victory before the report is released, but keep in mind it ain’t about nothing. Mueller charged 34 people with crimes, including Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and three Russian companies. Twenty-five Russians were indicted on election interference charges, although they will never see the inside of an American court.

  Five Trump aides pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with Mueller and longtime buddy Roger Stone, who awaits trial on charges that he lied to Congress and tampered with witnesses. 

  Also keep in mind that other state and federal prosecutors are chasing investigations involving Trump, his business, and associates. Even if he skates on the Mueller report, which we don’t know yet, he has plenty of legal trouble to come.

World Class Style:Helicopters and boats were sent yesterday to remove passengers from a Viking cruise lines ship that lost power in rough water off the coast of Norway. Video posted online by passengers showed a tilting deck with sliding objects.

  The ship was in Hustadvika bay, an area that, as Reutersreported, is known “for fierce weather” and “shallow waters dotted with reefs.” After the crew restarted one engine, authorities say, the Viking Sky moved farther offshore and dropped anchor.

 Helicopters lifted 450 of the 1300 passengers off the ship before it was taken under tow.  

Auto Pilot:Boeing and the FAA are reported to be close to agreement on a software fix for the 737 Max 8 passenger jet which has had fatal trouble with its automatic flight control system.

  Boeing and the FAA say that have been working on the fix since the crash of an Indonesian airliner in October. The loss of an Ethiopian airliner this month caused them to hit the throttle for a quick fix.

  The Max 8 was developed as an evolution of the 737 to compete with the European Airbus in making an airliner that burned less fuel. The Max 8 cut down on fuel use by 14 percent, a huge amount, but it’s not a completely re-designed plane. It was retrofitted to accommodate larger fuel-saving engines, and that created some aerodynamic problems. 

  Boeing actually shelved a plan for a completely new plane to stay in competition with Airbus and the Max 8 turned out to be their best-selling plane ever.

Do-Over:As Britain’s parliament fumbles with plans for an orderly exit from the European Union, hundreds of thousands of people marched in London yesterday demanding a second vote on the issue. The first vote, which political leaders took as a mandate to get out of the EU, was legally non-binding. 

  The organizers of the “Put it to the People March” claim they had one million participants.

 Scotland’s  First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told the , “The prime minister and her government have proved completely incapable of delivering on the result of the 2016 vote, which is why it is right that this should now go back to the people.” 

From the Sidelines: Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots, has apologized for soliciting sex in a Florida massage parlor. It’s been a big embarrassment to the 77-year-old Kraft and the NFL. “I know I have hurt and disappointed my family, my close friends, my co-workers, our fans and many others who rightfully hold me to a higher standard,” Kraft said.

  This is the first time the owner of a football team has apologized for scoring.
