Analysis: The many things Democrats got wrong about the Mueller report
By JM Rieger JM Rieger Video editor for The Fix Email Bio Follow March 27 at 7:00 AM Days before special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation concluded, Sen. Richard Blumenthal made a bold claim about President Trump and obstruction of justice.
Now, Trump and his allies are pointing to such remarks to attack critics, demand apologies and, in some cases, ask cable networks to ban certain guests. But lost in this “reckoning” is the equating of “collusion” and “conspiracy” and conflating the Mueller probe with at least half a dozen ongoing state and federal investigations into Trump and the organizations he ran.
And less than two weeks before Mueller submitted his report to Attorney General William P. Barr, former CIA director John Brennan predicted that Mueller would indict Trump campaign officials on conspiracy charges.
