Consider how f***ing stupid Trump is.
He says the Mueller report was a great triumph, but he didn’t read it, because he never reads anything if he can help it. Ghost-writer of "Art of the Deal" thinks that it's the only book Trump ever read as an adult.
He wouldn’t have read the Mueller report if he can’t even read daily or weekly CIA intelligence briefings. This inference is further substantiated by the fact that he could have read Barr’s summary, which says that Mueller didn’t exonerate Trump, but Trump says he was totally exonerated, so one can infer to some degree that he didn’t read Barr’s summary either.
If he did read Barr's summary, and since it was concocted to give temporary satisfaction to some part of the public, then he must be totally stupid to think others so stupid as to believe his “total exoneration” spin, because Barr’s summary would be easier for reading-challenged citizens to absorb.
Even the letters to LA Times today were pretty naïve, and no less Jonah Goldberg’s take on the Mueller report, the Barr summary, or even the idea that “there was no collusion”. Perhaps Trump had a Russian handler. The handler would only be one person. Maybe Mueller never discovered that person's identity. [And by the way -- does anyone even consider the possibility that Melania is a perfect eastern-European parallel to Ellie Iselin? Who's tapping her cell-phone? Does she have the same encryption feature that raised concerns over Jared's cell-phone communications?]
Goldberg says we want to "believe" that Trump is a Russian agent. Suspicion and belief are two different things. You can infer a lot from what we've known since the beginning of the 2015/16 campaign, what we learned from the intelligence agencies, from the Steele dossier, from the indictments, the plea-bargains and convictions. Inference and facts provide mountains of volcanic suspicion. But CSI, following a trail of fact and inference, doesn't prosecute cases, and prosecutors in this matter of Trump want a slam dunk.
The fat lady don’t sing until Mueller sits before Congress and answers their questions. She don’t sing until the full text of the report is published. There is a good possibility that there is a lot of evidence that Trump colluded, but it isn’t sufficient for a slam-dunk indictment. Or maybe Mueller just decided that Congress should be the Fat Lady.
This hasn’t unfolded completely yet, and we may be surprised how it turns. Trump, his obsequious entourage and his Bimbo-Base may even be shocked.
