23. Exchange? "Sent them back and forth"

Tue Aug 8, 2017, 05:40 PM

Aug 2017

implies an exchange, but the syntax "Trump has sent them back and forth" implies only one sender.

Why are they implying a cordial exchange? Do they think this will dissuade Mueller? No. These are smart lawyers.

Are they trying to imply that Mueller has friendly feelings for Trump so they can can portray him as a lying, back-stabbing hypocrite when he finds what he eventually will? Does Trump think that would help anger the base, re-energize their flagging polls, and frighten the Republican Congress and Senate from impeaching Trump despite Mueller's report?

A Hail Mary, perhaps?
