6:23Now PlayingThe lackluster Mueller Report was supposed to be “the end” of the Trump Administration. Instead, it looks like it may be the beginning of a new era for Trump and it certainly gives him a lot to boast about it during his reelection campaign. Even though he’s already been lying about what the report already says, the majority of people in this country won’t take the time to see if he’s lying, and therefore it becomes the truth. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains why this report is really, really bad for Democratic candidates, and also how they can overcome it.

You know there is a very big problem with the Mueller report and Attorney General William Barr's letter that he sent to Congress in lieu of the Mueller report. He gives him this letter and he says there was no collusion. That report couldn't find anything. It's done. It's over. We're not prosecuting him on obstruction of justice game over on the Mauler report. Trump, even though it says literally on the fraud, he is not exonerated. We're going to declare his exonerated and that is what the administration ran with. Whether it's true or not, that's what media outlets reported. Even left wing media outlets reported that that there's no collusion, no obstruction, nothing. Trump has cleared, essentially vindicated though not exonerated. The 48 hours after this, a letter came out or I guess technically the Mueller report was delivered to bar the 48 hours after that. That was it. That was when the argument was won or lost and unfortunately the Trump administration one it now, depending on when you're watching this, I don't know, maybe the Mauler report has already been released. Maybe the whole thing's been released, maybe snippets had been released, but if it's snippets, you can guarantee it's only going to be snippets that benefit Donald Trump and not the ones that explain a lot of other potential criminality that he did, but we don't know.
Short of having that full report delivered to the public, we're not going to know, and that's what's so damaging about this because Trump has already won the war of words. He has already won the framing. He has already won the phrasing and that is going to be a huge boost for him. In 2020 just last week, reports were surfacing saying that Donald Trump planned on using the Mueller investigation results as part of his 2020 campaign. Regardless of whether or not they exonerated him or didn't, he was going to either play the victim or play the victor and now he's going to be playing the victor and it's going to be very hard for Democrats to counter that narrative. Here's what's going to happen. Trump has got to go out there to the public. He's going to tell you that the Democrats all sorted by the dossier for new by Crooked Hillary Clinton, the Democrats wasted 22 months of your life. They wasted millions of dollars, which isn't true. This thing made a lot more money than it costs. It was a witch hunt. The results prove it and that he never did anything wrong and that the Democrats are just bitter because Hillary Clinton didn't win president, and you're going to get some more moderate people who look at that and say, you know what? I think he's right. I mean, the report did say he was cleared.
