Pierce: If The President* Thinks He's Out of the Woods, He's More Delusional Than I Thought

...The president*, because he doesn’t understand anything, apparently is treating this as a kind of vindication. And it should be noted that this conversation took place a month ago and things can, well, change. Also, it has been speculated that Mueller, as a career employee of the federal justice system, may not believe he can indict a sitting president.

However, according to the report, Mueller also told the White House lawyers that he will be presenting a series of reports to the Congress about his findings regarding the president*’s possible obstruction of justice in the investigation of Russian ratfcking.

This would be of a piece with the former consideration; Mueller would be fully in character if he handed reports to the branch of government empowered by the Constitution to impeach a lawless president* and dared those clowns to fulfill their constitutional duty. In any case, if the president* thinks he’s out of the woods, he’s more delusional than I think he is, and that boggles the mind. He remains under investigation by a tough and implacable prosecutor who believes that everyone in government should do their jobs as thoroughly as he’s doing his.

That may, in fact, be naïve, but it will do for the moment.
