Peak Stupidity
- Trump's exoneration from criminal charges, based on Barr's summary of the Mueller report, has created a celebratory mood in Trumpworld and a self-flagellating response in some media.
- This reaction highlights a prevailing shortsightedness in political discourse, where incomplete information leads to premature conclusions.
Focus on Facts, Not Speculation
- Focus on Mueller's statement that the president is not exonerated, rather than downplaying the report's significance.
- Investigate potential obstruction of justice and remember the known facts about Russian interference and Trump campaign's involvement.
Intentional Delay
- Barr's delay in releasing the full Mueller report is likely intentional, allowing the initial headlines to favor Trump while burying details.
- This tactic aims to manipulate public perception and shift attention away from potential misconduct as new controversies arise.
