.MaddowBlog: Team Trump’s confidence in Mueller report starts to slowly evaporate.
Two days after Attorney General Bill Barr issued his characterizations of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report, Donald Trump was eager to exaggerate the findings. “The Mueller report was great,” the president told reporters two weeks ago, referring to a document he has not read. “It could not have been better.”
And 12 days after Trump said the Mueller report “could not have been better,” a high-profile member of the president’s legal defense team suggested that the still-hidden document may raise at least a little trouble for his boss. When the host asked, “Are you confident there will be no evidence of obstruction of justice in these 400 pages?” Giuliani replied that he has reason to be confident that there will be “no evidence of anything really bad.”Giuliani than tried to change the subject to conspiracy theories involving Roger Stone’s arrest.
