No Smoking Gun

Attorney General William Barr released the redacted Mueller special counsel report today, on schedule. It turns out his four page letter last week accurately summarized the report for those who were only interested in the bottom line.

Those who want to mine the report for embarrassing, but not unlawful, actions of the President will find things to satisfy their prurient interests. Trump isn't always Mr. Smooth.

On the other hand, if you are a proudly patriotic person publicly accused of treasonous conduct and you know the accusations are baseless, you might behave in an outraged fashion too. I'm willing to cut him some slack on those grounds, essentially no Democrats will do likewise.

These days, many Democrats aren't nice people. I'm old enough to remember when Republicans had Democrat friends.
