Trump Urges GOP To 'Play Along With The Game' Of Releasing Mueller Report

Source: TPM

...............................

Apparently all Republicans didn’t get the message, since Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) blocked the mostly symbolic vote from happening in the Senate as well. Graham insisted that a section be included about Attorney General William Barr setting up a special counsel investigation to probe the Department of Justice’s handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Just this week, Trump seemed to pull an about-face on the Mueller report, tweeting that there should not be one at all. Previously, Trump has stuck to acting blasé about the report, claiming that he has nothing to fear.

After his skeevy lapdog Graham already killed it?

Its like a mob boss, after walking because of no witness because he successfully threatened them or killed them, to shrug and say, "its too bad he died, I would have liked to have proven him wrong and cleared my name in court, which I would have done..believe me"

Probably closer to the truth than we think. With Graham. It has to be that Trump with Putin's help, has all kinds of disgusting kompromat on him.

No doubt way back before the 2016 election. None of us care about Graham's preferences in matters sexual but you just know those homophobes in South Carolina would be absolutely shocked, shocked I tells ya to discover he was not straight.

So yeah, he'll undoubtedly do exactly whatever he's told. Speaking of telling, isn't he on the Defense committee?

I mean among the types who care about those things and are quick to make such assumptions? They exist in EVERY State, unfortunately.

Barr musta seen sumpim and then clued Trump in on how bad the report is going to be. This looks encouraging.

It' a golden opportunity to hit all of the GOP congress members if they voted for releasing the Mueller report on principle or on playing along.

That tweet has us talking about it, and not about more pertinent things, such as his name coming up as an inspiration for a mass murder, and his campaign manager being sent to prison this week. It's just one big distraction, and more of Trump's idiotic games-playing. Say one thing. Do another. Sow more chaos. Same shit. Different day.
