If he is reading it, he's probably finding that more than the journalists are vindicated. However, I have complete faith he's dreaming up new lines of obfuscation, whataboutery, and so-whatism to amuse us.Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 10:21 pmIt's interesting that our mutual friend has gone rather quiet since he apparently went off to read the Mueller report.

The Mueller report reads as a 400-page confirmation of years’ worth of reporting on Donald Trump.
From the dawn of his presidential campaign, and especially since Robert Mueller was named special counsel, President Donald Trump has waged war on professional journalism. He has maligned the press as a den of liars and fabulists. He has applied the term “fake news” to any story or outlet that he dislikes—or that he thinks dislikes him. He has mocked “the failing New York Times” and the “Amazon Washington Post.” He has tweeted an edited video of himself wrestling and overpowering a figure with a CNN logo for a head. He has called the media the “enemy of the people.”
Trump has been adamant about discrediting the media because the media has discredited him. “I do it to discredit you all and demean you all, so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you,” Trump told Lesley Stahl in 2016. His scorched-earth tactics have worked, to a point. Trump’s war against journalism has energized his base and has powered his efforts to preemptively undermine the Mueller report. Now, the Mueller report is out, and the journalists who’ve spent the past several years reporting on Trump’s conduct are looking a lot better than Trump himself.
If Mueller’s report feels familiar, it’s because so many of the incidents it documents have already been reported....more
He's generous that way.
