President Donald Trump, yet to master a Twitter thread, buried a serious change of tone in his usual angry word salad about Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the Democrats: “…there should be no Mueller report.”

Up until now, Trump has pretty consistently insisted that he has nothing to fear from the Mueller report, saying that there’s “NO COLLUSION.” Just a few weeks ago, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said: “We feel good about the fact that what we’ve said all along for last two years will be clear — there was no collusion.”

It is unclear why Trump changed his position on the report.

  2. And there should be no Trump presidency. There. Now it’s even.

  3. “Zero crime?” What is he talking about? We know there was a crime. That’s without question. The questions are who was involved, what were their roles, and how far did it go.

  4. It is unclear why Trump changed his position on the report.

    Um, perhaps someone has given him a synopsis of what the report will contain?

  5. Someone got an early read on the report.

    What Acting Attorney General would do such a thing?
