5. Had a discussion with a Trump acquaintance

She claims to be a DC press pool photographer (possible, but dubious), and was crowing about all the indictments coming down the road against Hillary and the DNC by Barr, Nunes, etc. in the next couple of months.

Given that she seems about as sharp as wet playdoh, I suspect that she's picking up on the campaign of obfuscation that the RW is trying to drum up to both discredit the Mueller report and attempt to take back the narrative.

Remember that 2020 is an incredibly important year. The census will determine redistribution of Congressional districts and the momentum (that had been moving towards the GOP into 2016) is now moving away from it. They risk losing control of several state governments and quite likely any chance of taking back the House or the Presidency in the next ten years. At this point they don't care about doing what's right, only at winning at any cost.
