Trumps Angle: Push the 'Fruit of a A Poison Tree' story as hard as he possibly can ...

The goal: Provide a semblance of justification for never releasing it to Congress and/or the American People.

I'ma tell ya right now, if we hear him trying to make this 'case' constantly over the upcoming weeks, then we can rest quite assured ... that what's in the Mueller Report ... is actually terrible for him.

And I suspect that's what's going to happen, and that's the angle he thinks he can work. Convince as many people as possible it was 'illegal' and 'corrupt' to begin with, and there's his justification to refuse to allow it's release.

He's been working this angle from the start, as a matter of fact. Expect it be publicly ramped up HEAVILY, with massive help from his new BFF Lindsey, and his old BFF Mitch.

He'll do all he can, however to stay in good with Mueller, saying things like 'it wasn't his fault he had to work this corrupt case, he just did his job!'. He'll start kissing his ass now, in hopes Mueller won't eventually snap and go public with what he knows.

1. Mueller's mystery inconclusive conclusion

as pushed by Barr about obstruction: I think this was negotiated by and between Mueller and Barr. Mueller wanted stronger language; Barr threatened to shut it down completely; this is what they negotiated to. That “split the baby"
language is exactly how lawyers operate.

Trump’s election was illegitimate, therefore so are Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and all Trump’s federal judges.

Both Trump and the GOP in the House call for releasing the Mueller report, but in the time it takes to redact items that are properly excluded from public view, they preach the "exoneration" theme. When the report does come out, and there are little tidbits of new evidence, the story is then branded old news.

I really don't think there is much to be gained by having a House committee or two subpoena Barr or Mueller, but it will happen, anyway. We'll feed right into Trump's narrative of being a Democratic Congress that is more obsessed with revenge for the 2016 election, and not so concerned with people's everyday lives.

No question Trump is Putin's puppet.
