"SNIP.......
So CNN reports this morning that Trump staffers are shielding him from information that shows just how close Mueller is to more indictments, apparently to keep him from firing the special counsel.
He's so presidential, isn't he?
"The president has been quiet when it comes to the investigation into whether there was any Russian meddling," reporter Sarah Murray said.
"He even told some of the friends and allies he expects to get a letter of exoneration from Mueller's team. Both privately and publicly, Trump's lawyers have cast this very optimistic timeline, saying they expect the president and the White House to be cleared of this any time. It could come in the coming months. But legal experts and other lawyers involved are very skeptical there's any indication that Mueller is wrapping up his work. That has some of Trump's allies worried that this could be setting up the president for disappointment and setting him up for a meltdown and potentially a rash move.

I'm skeptical that staffers are trying to keep him from starting the firing chain to get at Mueller. Some of them are in the indictment line of fire I would think.

(46,771 posts)Or he thinks CNN is just fake news and discounts it all.
Maybe he actually believes all the BS he spouts.
If so, he really is delusional.

(15,220 posts)When the trials of Manafort, et al haven't even been put on the dockets yet.
Until ALL of the evidence has been investigated and heard, there should be NO indication of Trump's innocence, and he's just being a bully and making threats trying to put a time frame on this.
I love that Mueller is getting under his orange, creepy skin.
