Incoming Mueller Nothingburger
For those with ears to hear, the establishment has been dropping hints that Mueller wouldn’t find any Russian collusion from the get-go (See here, here and here). Today, we saw a renewed campaign—in between the whole Jussie Smollett drama—to soften the blow for all of the CNN and MSNBC viewers.
If I'm wrong, I'll happily eat crow and celebrate the health of our democracy, but I've been saying Trump is likely to escape #Mueller's clutches since 2017 and nothing has changed my view. And Trump's victory lap will be unlike anything we've seen.

A concise report from Robert Mueller might act as a “road map” to investigation for the Democratic House of Representatives — and it might also lead to further criminal investigation by other prosecutors, says @neal_katyal https://t.co/nGTSq2WSG4

Surely we can keep this song going for 2-6 more years?I honestly think that if the Mueller investigation really does end next week as CNN and WashPost are claiming, and nothing major changes (such as, say, Trump Jr. or Jared’s arrest), they should send therapy dogs to the MSNBC & CNN headquarters to help with the coping process. https://t.co/rA8GiZ6Oz3
