Even as more than a dozen Trump aides and associates professed confidence that Mueller's report would inflict little new damage on the president, some allies say the White House is in for a rude awakening
Even as more than a dozen Trump aides and associates interviewed by POLITICO professed confidence that the report would inflict little new damage on a president they say has already been exonerated by Barr, some Trump allies say the White House is in for a rude awakening.
Barr’s March 24 letter said that Mueller found no evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government and that the evidence is "not sufficient to establish" that Trump obstructed the Justice Department’s Russia probe.
“Why should Radical Left Democrats in Congress have a right to retry and examine the $35,000,000 No Collusion Mueller Report, when the crime committed was by Crooked Hillary, the DNC and Dirty Cops?” Trump tweeted before playing a round of golf at his Virginia golf club on Saturday. “Attorney General Barr will make the decision!”Trump allies are already on message. “We’re going to move on and we’re going to get to the bottom of how this insidious last two years began,” said Bossie.
“I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” Barr said, adding that he plans to look at whether that spying was “adequately predicated.”
