Did Trump finally get to Mueller?

…directly or indirectly?

...trump's a Republican, Mueller's a Republican...almost daily for two years trump's been lambasting, obstructing and discrediting Mueller and his investigation...and given the background knowledge Mueller must now have, he must know the extent trump will go to extract a heavy personal price for those who infuriate him...

… and there's this...

CNN Politics, 3-22-2019
…………………………..
" The President, with his talent for shifting the terms of a debate, weighed in on the fate of Mueller's yet-to-be-filed final report before heading to Ohio on Wednesday.

"I don't mind. I mean, frankly, I told the House, 'If you want, let them see it,'" Trump said when asked whether the American public had the right to see the fruits of the special counsel's labors. "

...why?...why all of a sudden trump's change of heart, trump's transparency?...could it be he knows what's in the report?...could it be he cut a deal over it's content?...have we been set up?

...it's starting to smell like a white-wash cover-up to me...

...I think I've been MAGAed

Cast judgments afterwards if you feel it is warranted.

Until then, wait for the report.

Wait and see.
In Watergate, the special prosecutor had less impact in reality than the Senate investigation did. Eventually dozens of his aides were indicted, but a whole lot of the information (like about the tapes) came out in the Senate hearings.

Mueller is not the only person who can get an indictment. The SDNY is obviously interested in what Cohen has revealed. And the NY State prosecutor and the county prosecutor can go after many of the financial crimes-- they have jurisdiction, and the State one is definitely eager.

We'll see.
Those sealed indictments in DC are also still sealed....
