Like a rapper that knows an explosive diss track is about to be released, the president of the United States is playing reduced-stress checkersβin which theyβre only six pieces on the board to prevent confusion (but he still cheats)βby releasing tweets that will help his followers know his position on the soon-to-be-released Russian investigation report by special counsel Robert Mueller.
On Monday, the president of people who can see Russia from their house unleashed a series of tweets as a preemptive strike for Thursday, also known as political geek Super Bowl, in which the redacted Mueller report will be released to Congress and the public.

βMueller, and the A.G. based on Mueller findings (and great intelligence), have already ruled No Collusion, No Obstruction,β Trump tweeted, the Associated Press reports. βThese were crimes committed by Crooked Hillary, the DNC, Dirty Cops and others! INVESTIGATE THE INVESTIGATORS!β
Look at those exclamation points and all-caps! The president is back on his grizzly and ready for the obvious hits he knows are coming, and he will be just as shocked as the rest of us to learn whatβs going on because the president has no idea whatβs in the report. The president canβt read and he canβt sit still long enough for someone to read it to him, so he will be learning whatβs in the report shortly after Fox News reports on it.
Supposedly, Attorney General William Barr is going to release a redacted version of Muellerβs investigation into whether or not Trumpβs team and even Trump himself colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election. I donβt trust Barr, and that has nothing to do with the fact that he looks like Roseanne Barrβs TV husband or that he just so happens to share the same last name as Roseanne. My issues with Barr came only after he clearly aligned himself with the presidentβs lies, claiming that he believes spying occurred on Trumpβs political campaign. Itβs all bullshit, but it showed Barrβs hand and if Barr, who is totally a Trump-guy, was brought in because heβs an ally for President Trump, then I have a hard time believing that a redacted version of Muellerβs report wonβt just be pages and pages of blackness.
Also, donβt forget that Mueller punted on whether or not there was obstruction of justice by the president and Barr decided, even though no one asked him to, that there was no obstruction of justice. So, yeah, I ainβt too excited to see a Barr version of this report, but that hasnβt stopped Trump from tweeting out βno collusionβ a gizallion damn times.
So now we wait. Expect a rash of these tweets to continue for the next few days until the redacted report is released, but something tells me that if we actually believe that incriminating portions against Trump and his cronies arenβt going to be redacted, then I have a Trump Tower in Moscow to sell you.
