Prior to the release of the redacted Mueller report, when Barr’s con-job summary was setting the Beltway press narrative of NO COLLUSION COMPLETE EXONERATION, I figured if Mueller objected to a PR blitz that misrepresented his report, he’d say so. Turns out he did: Here’s the letter from Robert Mueller to Bill Barr. pic.twitter.com/vvgKDt8zO4 — …
File Under “Well Played” (Open Thread)
Trump was on an epic retweeting binge earlier this morning, raiding the account of Fox News personality Dan Bongino to amplify dozens of Trump “supporters” who criticized the firefighter’s union endorsement of Joe Biden. This one, though: I assume the account owner changed his or her Twitter name and avatar AFTER the retweet. Well played, …
