Why Trump Is Suddenly So Worried About the Mueller Report
President Trump wants America to know that he is totally innocent. At the same time, he seems increasingly nervous about the public seeing a redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Muellers findings, which Attorney General William Barr says he will release Thursday. Though Trump has in the past expressed indifference to the potential release of the report, hes now railing against the efforts of Democratic lawmakers to obtain the full, unredacted report, while renewing criticisms of the investigation he simultaneously says has already proved his innocence.
Mueller, and the A.G. based on Mueller findings (and great intelligence), have already ruled No Collusion, No Obstruction, he tweeted Monday morning. These were crimes committed by Crooked Hillary, the DNC, Dirty Cops and others! INVESTIGATE THE INVESTIGATORS!

This is not true. When Attorney General William Barr released his principle conclusions of the report last month, he quoted it as noting that the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities. Mueller did not, however, contend that Trump did not obstruct justice, writing that his team was not able to exonerate the president. It was Barr, along with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who concluded the report did not contain enough evidence to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.
But earlier this month, members of Muellers team leaked to the Washington Post that they found alarming and significant evidence of obstruction that was much more acute than Barr suggested. The Times later reported that Muellers team believes what they found is more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated.
