now this is a misleading headline on CNN - see below. Vomit inducing.

Inside Trump's evening for the ages

When the President learned Mueller was done, in his eyes, it was a moment to celebrate. The investigation did not find enough evidence to indict him.

Those who just read that bold part will assume Mueller found nothing. If you read the article, it is what Trump thinks, not what is reality - but it certainly doesn't read like that.

This is beyond the pale, criminally irresponsible, and shows how the MSM is delighting in distorting and playing the horse race, with no regard for the country.

I see they're morphing back into pro-Trump TV before the election.

At this point all we know is that Muller does not intend to indict Trump. But we have known all along that Muller (and the entire Justice Department) does not believe a president can be indicted. So we cannot infer a lack of evidence from a lack of indictment. We do not know what is in the report.

1. The report is full of ironclad evidence the Dotard's team is trying to figure out how to spin or disappear.

2. "Ratings." He's going for extra dramatic effect because he's a reality show moron. Remember how he teased Cabinet appointment announcements like they were commercials for the Bachelor?

The longer the delay, the bigger the effect when he does start crowing.

Those are the only two reasons I can think of for the twitter silence. I am hoping it's number one.

Either way, I still think he's screwed. The states will definitely get him on financial crimes. That's probably what his team is trying to figure out how to spin. Sucks to be them, cuz that shit is piled deep, lol!
