I have given up having rational conversations with my acquaintances on the right, who are gleefully celebrating Donald Trump’s “complete and total vindication” from Bob Mueller’s two-year witch hunt. Never mind that none of us have seen the actual report, or that Barr’s letter specifically notes that Mueller didn’t exonerate the President. This can only mean total exoneration.
So, my stock reply has been that he is exonerated in the same way that Casey Anthony and O.J. Simpson were exonerated. A jury found them “Not guilty”, therefore they clearly committed no crimes. It’s not that there was insufficient evidence to convince a jury, there was clearly no evidence at all. Complete witch hunts!
I plan to work hard to help restore the reputation of Donald Trump to its rightful glory, just as soon as I have done so with so many others who have been victim of these witch hunts. I wonder if Sarah Sanders is available to help with messaging.
