The Right's narrative is changing after Mueller's statement yesterday.

[LuckyCharms]

1) "tHe RuSshEr ThInG iS a CoMpLeTe hoKeS".

I doubt that we will be hearing that the "Russia investigation was a complete hoax started by 12 angry Democrats" too much anymore.

2) "Completely exonerated" seems to be changing to "innocent until proven guilty".

Give it a few days. I think that Trump was severely injured yesterday by Mueller's statement. And yes, I realize that all of this was in Mueller's report, but it somehow took hearing it from his lips to make a difference.

1. Insufficient Evidence

Is what Trump tweeted yesterday!

[KPN]

5. Lol. Like saying I did it but you can't prove it.

This is the beginning of the end for real this time. Yeah it will still take a while. Yeah it might actually go so long that we have to vote him out in 2020, bit his criminal and illegitimate administration is done for one way or the other. And he, his family, his businesses and other GOP cooperators are going to pay.

[sop]

9. Insufficient evidence because Trump obstructed the investigation

[KPN]

10. Yes! Exactly -- that's the talking point Dems need

to put out there. Over and over.

[SergeStorms]

41. Bingo! We have a winner.

If not for Trump and CrimeInc. they very well may have found enough evidence of conspiracy with the Russians to convict him of that as well. I still think Mueller should have subpoenaed Trump for in-person interviews. Letting him get away with written questions that his lawyers could answer for him was complete and utter bullshit. Trump would certainly have spilled the beans. He's just about the dullest knife in the drawer, second only to his son Erik.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

44. That's the plan, and the coverup is still in motion. . . . nt

[True Blue American]

30. Could not happen too soon!

Notice the sience of Republicans. Mitch and Lindsey both know their Brave?? Words mean little now.

I have to wonder if Barr knew this was coming down? Thus his trip to Alaska!

[cstanleytech]

31. He should have kept his mouth shut because it sounds like a confession.

[Vinca]

2. I just caught some insight on CSPAN's Washington Journal.

A guy called in on the Republican line and said all the hatred and division is caused by the "libtard left." Republicans don't do irony well. LOL.

[True Blue American]

32. I watched a couple of mornings this week.

The straight faces those poor hosts have to show.

[Harker]

38. Like death masks.

Not even a hint of wince or tic of a smile. It's an art unto itself.

[C_U_L8R]

3. And they got Trump the stable genius

[bdamomma]

11. yup

I bet that is what that dumb-ass is interpreting it to be.

[Cracklin Charlie]

28. Tiny hands near gone.

At this point, Luckovich won’t be able to draw the “Nixon victory sign” when the helicopter takes him away.

[Harker]

40. Upraised cuffs.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

4. Their narrative changes constantly to adjust for the latest disclosures

Go back and look what they were saying from before Mueller was hired, to his hiring, to each indictment or revelation that came out. It's a lesson in intellectual yoga. They can twist themselves into so many positions they should be contortionists in a circus. It's the only way they can deal with the fact that they support a traitor and a fraud. That and everyone is lying or biased so you can't believe anything bad about Trump. That's my story and I'm sticking to it-until I need to come up with another one.

[Perseus]

6. "took hearing it from his lips to make a difference"

I am convinced few of these politicians ever read whatever comes to their desks, I know they have people working for them but they seem to miss a lot.

Last night Rachel Maddow made a point that Democrats did not seem to know that one of the previsions that were imposed on the Special Council had to do with the indictment, or lack of power to indict the buffoon, it seemed to her that Democrats were counting on Muller to provide the clear verdict as a path to indict the buffoon and seem to have been surprised by it, which led her to believe they had not read the SC provisions.

[uponit7771]

17. +1, dems were caught flat footed on the level of crimes that came out of the report

[yardwork]

7. I remain very disappointed in the poor reporting on this from the beginning.

Our stupid media amplified Barr's blatant lies about the report from the beginning. Too few people even bothered to read it.

8. From JHB's cartoon thread

[bdamomma]

12. so true.

Barr needs his ass in prison.

These rich bastards need to be in prison.

[uponit7771]

15. +1

[watoos]

13. All we have seen so far

is what accomplice Bill Barr has allowed us to see. We or Congress needs to see the entire Mueller report, the grand jury testimony and the counterintelligence report done by the FBI.

I understand the push to have Mueller testify before Congress, and I am all for that, but I would like to see other people on Mueller's team testify. I would definitely tune in to see Andrew Weissman take on Gym Jordan in a public hearing.

[uponit7771]

14. K&R, Watched FAUX News for 3 hours yesterday and they could NOT dispute what Mueller said

[sarabelle]

16. I hope you are correct. I hear no evidence of it.

[pazzyanne]

19. Your post is right on except,

the CiC upped the number of angry Democrats to 18 this morning. I wonder if he understands just how MANY angry Democrats there actually are! I am now willing to lead a "tar and feather" contingency ASAP.

[flying_wahini]

22. I'll get the feathers. Meet you back here ASAP.

N/t 😆

[pazzyanne]

25. Game on!

Thanks for the help!

[cannabis_flower]

36. Should we bring...

torches and pitchforks?

[Cetacea]

21. Trump just doubled down on the Witch Hunt eom

[LuckyCharms]

23. Yes, just saw that. But like I said, give it a few days.

I don't think Fox will continue to support that narrative.

[Cetacea]

26. He should be impeached just for failing to do anything about an attack on our country

Instead he's going to go after the very people who uncovered this.

[LuckyCharms]

27. Agree 100%. That one issue, among thousands of issues...

would certainly be enough for the impeachment of any President.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

45. Indeed. That goes beyond criminal charges. . . . nt

[mia]

29. 2) "Completely exonerated" seems to be changing to "innocent until proven guilty".

Trump proclaimed his innocence.
He left out "until proven guilty" in his tweet.

The thought of a Congressional investigation must terrify him. Right now he's fighting for his life in the court of popular opinion.

39. Word choice

I still have a bone to pick regarding Drumpf's word choice.

There's a big difference between "innocent" and "not guilty". And i'd bet dollars to donuts that he's neither innocent or guilty.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

46. Trump not guilty? No way. Welcome to DU, I think. . . . nt

[Ohioboy]

33. One of their big talking points was...

If Mueller doesn't agree with the Barr summary, why doesn't he say so?

That one won't work anymore.

Barr getting out in front of the report and misrepresenting it was all they really had, and they knew it. The report itself does NOT exonerate Trump at all. In fact, it makes him look very bad.

[calimary]

34. That's why Mueller MUST testify.

So Americans can finally SEE and HEAR the truth. From Mueller’s own mouth.

[Texin]

35. This morning's newspaper headline was "No Exoneration"

We live in Dallas County (a marginally purple county deep in the still red-red state), but the most circulated newspaper is owned by a very right wing publisher. For this particular paper to print that headline above the fold and in big, big print is a big fucking deal.

I don't know whether this will hurt tRump or not. It certainly won't have any impact on the immovable 40-43% who are with him ride or die. The other people who broke with him in 2016 may be impacted though. I guess we'll have to see. Where it might make a difference, though, is on the down ticket races. Those rethugs who are backing his lard ass the most vociferously might suffer if they continue to keep defending him, and I think there will be some voters out there who may begin to start paying attention when he keeps fluffing Putin, Jong Un, the Saudis, and other autocrats over our traditional allies. But we shall see.

37. Tarabithia Poll results

In a nationwide poll, 90% of respondents admitted they had not read Mueller's report, and the other 10% lied and claimed they had.

[Alwaysna]

42. Rep. Joe Wilson shouted at Obama "You lie!"

I'd like to see someone shout that everytime Barr starts to speak until it becomes a chant.

[MasonDreams]

43. Hoping & praying the great state of NY cannonballs

several holes into the crime klan's leaky boat. Plesase please just a little push for impeachment momentum.
