President Trump's latest attacks on Mueller playing right into the hands of Democrats


NYT White House correspondent Annie Karni, former deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman, NYT’s Nick Confessore, NBC’s Heidi Przybyla, former WH Comms Director Jennifer Palmieri, and Donny Deutsch on Trump’s latest Twitter attack against Mueller and his star witness, Donald McGahn

Trump defended himself against a central accusation of obstruction in the Mueller report today in a few early morning Tweets. Essentially he explains that he never told Don McGahn to fire Robert Mueller and points out that he didn’t need to, as he could have just done it himself.

To listen to the salivating media and Democrats, you’d think that Trump fired Mueller two years ago and stopped the investigation.

But this is the key point, that Mueller was never fired and his investigation never obstructed, just as AG Barr indicated weeks ago.

And as Mark Levin has already pointed out, just because it’s in the Mueller report doesn’t mean it’s all true. Trump denies some of it, as in this case.

Trump is clearly done with all of this and isn’t going to allow McGahn or any other aid to testify before Congress without a fight. So if you think there’s an open question here, don’t expect it to be resolved any time soon.

"I think putting together a polished show can be very important."
