Soooo.maybe THIS report w/no indictments is why Trump changed his tune...

Trump has been saying all along that the report shouldn't be released, that there shouldn't be a report at all, that this investigation is illegal, blah blah blah.

Then suddenly a few days ago he changed his tune. When someone asked if he was in favor of the report being released, he said something along the lines of "Sure. Why not?"

A 180 degree change. NOW, in hindsight, it looks like he knew the report was coming and there would be no further indictments before the report, meaning no indictments for his family or him. "No collusion!"

They still didn't know as the report was handed to Barr.

So to Trump, the report will exonerate him. He'll say if the report showed anything criminal, they would have indicted him. They didn't indict, so "No Collusion! It's been a witch hunt, like I said!"

So Trump's been in a better mood. He must have been really worried about his family.
