Trump "exonerated" over Ruskie affair

The news overnight about Donald Trump getting the green light after Robert Mueller's two-year investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and the Ruskies will probably have one rather significant consequence. I may have to revise my prediction that Trump will fail to win a second term and Kamala Harris will win the Democratic nomination and thus the White House in 2020! The "exoneration" over collusion - not really a surprise - and the announcement by William Barr, the big bloke attorney general, that the president will not face charges for obstruction of justice (over the sacking of James Comey, former FBI director), will give a huge boost to Trump's chances of reelection. Mind you, he would have just shrugged off a Mueller report claiming there WAS evidence of collusion, but it would still have given ammunition to the Democratic Party to batter Trump all the way to the 2020 election. Now all they can hope for is a different sort of finding by the Democrat-run House of Representatives committees pursuing their own investigations. But, again, if they find against Trump, he will just point to the Mueller reort and say the Democrats are all poor losers. Or just losers!! Now, with Mueller effectively backing Trump's claim that there never was any collusion with the Ruskies, the president will go singing and dancing towards a second term. Provided the economy doesn't go into recession - a small chance - or there is some huge domestic disaster or a war with North Korea or Iran, or he does something so outrageous the whole world will erupt, then Trump will win a second term. So, sorry Kamala Harris and all the others lining up for the White House from the Democratic Party, from today your challenge has dropped down the scale by such a huge amount you might as well give up now. Joe Biden, forget it, stay at home and enjoy your family. The Washington Post keeps a tally of the number of lies Trump has told since taking office but it doesn't seem to matter. His supporters believe him, and now after the Mueller report they will believe him even more if that's possible. Unless of course there is some small print in the Mueller report which will never see the light of day until it gets leaked to the New York Times which paints a different picture from the rapid summary provided by Big Bloke Barr. Incidentally why on earth did Barr have to write a summary of the Mueller conclusions? Why didn't Mueller start his report off with a full summary of his conclusions? It's definitely a good week for Trump and he will milk it to death.
