So Trump has been spending the past two weeks claiming that the Robert Mueller report completely exonerates him, even though the four page summary of the 400 page report produced by Trump flunky William Barr explicitly states that it does not exonerate him. I mean, of course we know Trump is lying because, well, he’s Tweeting and speaking, so naturally it’s lies. But what makes this even more intriguing is that Mueller’s notoriously press-shy employees have told the New York Times that they are extremely dissatisfied with Barr’s summary of the report. That there is ostensibly plenty of dámņìņg evidence in there about Trump that Barr is anxious to sweep under the rug.
This is only to be expected. Barr got the job entirely because he was already on record about how much he despised the entire concept of the report and felt that the President was pretty much immune to prosecution. So naturally he would endeavor to whitewash the results.
