This will be a big boost to Trump if he & his children come away from the report relatively cleanly. I'd expect his approval rating to tick up by a few points because it'll play into his narrative of victimisation, in spite of the many questionable people he knowingly hired.

I can't help but feel Jr or Kushner to have been indicted if indeed there was anything sensational in the report, so I'd expect Trump to get that boost and make sure no-one forgets about it.

I firmly believe that if this report does not indict or imply criminal activity by Trump, the GOP will unite behind him, he will campaign on it alone, and he will succeed.

I stand by what I said, and I will add--even though it is considered SOP for this to happen in most special counsel investigations, it happening on a 5PM on Friday is not good news.
I agree with you. I think this amounts to mostly good news for Trump, and could potentially lead to him coasting to victory in 2020.

Pretty much. He's gonna pull the witch hunt card and if NOBODY close to him is taken down we're going to see him rise a bunch in the polls.

God, I hate this country. Why do we suck so damn much?

This is only for the 2016 election, they're still going to be investigating Trump's other crimes and obstruction of justice

I think most people knew privately there'd be no evidence of collusion, or at least anything to indict the Trumps. The Manchurian Candidate theory was dead in 2017. We've come a long way from the Kremlin having a pee pee tape.

Well, this is it, I guess. My expectations remain low. I really expected more indictments before the actual report got finished.

I'm ready to F5 this thread the whole week.

The juicy questions I'm waiting an answer for: How many counts of Illegal acts are in this report?
Is the GOP going to die on that hill? Or is there something so damning in there that they have no choice but jump off the Trump-wagon?

Sorry for being a pessimist, but I'm prepared for the worst i.e. some bad shit, but not enough to be indicted or removed from office. People are pinning their hopes too much on the Russia stuff.

With that said, here's hoping for something good! And there's still a bunch of other things he's being investigated for.

The thing that worries me is Trump has that mafia at arms length approach so it never goes back to him which makes it hard to prove. Hope I'm wrong.

Nothing is going to happen to Trump. If Bush and his cronies didn't serve time for being a murderous war criminal then this is nothing.

Laws and ethics don't apply to the GOP.

It's going to be nothing. Trump will easily get away. Maybe even post office. Hopefully house dems are ready to subpoena the full report at least

If the investigation clears Trump then at least you can take some level of solace knowing he's merely an idiot rather than a blatent traitor 🤷‍♂️.

It'll just be mind blowing if all these investigations, all these witnesses, and the report will just end up being a big ol shrug.

I expect the Trump lawyers to bury this thing as deep as they can. We won't know the full report for at least 20 years.

Are you attempting to claim that the GOP is not currently united behind him?

I'm expecting lots of bad actions and Barr to release none of it for people not indicted.

Mueller's confidential report has been delivered to Attorney General William Barr, the Justice Department announced

William Pelham Barr (born May 23, 1950) is an American attorney who is the 85th and current United States Attorney General since 2019, having previously served in the position from 1991 to 1993. Before becoming attorney general the first time, Barr held numerous other posts within the Department of Justice, including serving as Deputy Attorney General from 1990 to 1991. He is a member of the Republican Party.

Well. Guess we know where the report is going, then.

Just kidding. Republicans hate recycling. They'll just shred it.

Man, I think too many people are expecting some Oliver Stone plot.

The good news is that it's finished and people can focus on the presidential election because that is going to be the only way to remove Trump from office.

I feel like nothing's going to come from this.

Mueller could come forward with absolute proof that Trump's guilty as fuck, and the spineless piece of shit Republicans will just jam their fingers in their ears, call fake news, and nothing will happen as usual.

I really, really, want to be wrong.
