Dear Trump Allies,

It only feels like you are boxed in a corner, folks. But the walls are creeping closer - at this pace, you’ll really be boxed into a corner, very soon.

For added dash of fun - consider the gossipy new about to be released Wolfe book - which relies heavily upon Bannon - who reportedly suggests that Trump isn’t smart, isn’t a billionaire, and will likely see some of his base turn on him.

Oh the Tanties you are going to have to live through and pretend
aren’t happening that are ahead of you…

And singling you out McMajLeaderTurtle. perhaps you should retire soon, because I think it is likely to become pretty ugly for you, too.

Shift? They’ll be like running the INDY 500 backwards as fast as they’ll be fleeing.

This is good good good. Barr admitted he hadn’t reviewed everything before writing his initial lies in that 4 page letter, so what Team Grift (including Barr) is now admitting is that Barr “concluded” there was no obstruction without any real basis for drawing the conclusion. Responsible attorneys in positions of power don’t do that unless they’re shills serving a tribal agenda.

ETA: we need to get out there claiming that the WH is now admitting and gloating that they’ve succeeded in pulling off a Saturday Night Massacre.

Gee, don’t they find it laughable to say that a Trump cabinet member confirmed he’s innocent?

"Mike Pence echoed that rhetoric in a statement of his own that said that the ‘Department of Justice concluded there was no collusion and no obstruction’.”

“Attorney General Fox has concluded that no crimes were committed during The Henhouse Incident!”

(“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to finish this delicious chicken dinner.”)

Chant at next Trump rally:

The “Department of Justice concluded there was no collusion and no obstruction!”

Hmmm. Not very snappy. Needs work.

It’s nice to keep in mind, at least once in a while, that we don’t have to rely on what the Trump people tell us the Mueller Report says and finds. We can read it ourselves.

Mueller did not address “collusion” at all other than to say that the is no federal law using that terminology.

He did present a lot of evidence of what it might be appropriate to colloquially call collusion.

He also repeatedly made the case that it would be reasonable to apply the obstruction statutes to a president, because subjecting one to this standard would not impede his ability to lawfully carry out his constitional duties so long as he performs them in a non corrupt way.

So all of these nuanced talking points are poo-poo.

They’re running out of language.

As every lawyer who has practiced criminal law knows, many clients are found not guilty, but only a few are innocent.

Or, as Big Jule so eloquently said in Guys and Dolls - “Well, I used to be bad when I was a kid, but ever since then I’ve gone straight, as has been proved by my record: Thirty-three arrests and no convictions!”

Tortured language = tortured logic = tortured legal conclusions.

Daily obstruction concealed collusion at the highest levels of the campaign and family.
