"I can't say I'm happy, I can't say I'm thrilled," he told a cabinet meeting in the White House.But he indicated he could supplement the offer from Congress from other sources and lay the dispute to rest.

President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday that he told Republicans to vote for a non-binding resolution to release the Mueller report because it “makes us all look good and doesn’t matter.”

Apparently all Republicans didn’t get the message, since Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) blocked the mostly symbolic vote from happening in the Senate as well. Graham insisted that a section be included about Attorney General William Barr setting up a special counsel investigation to probe the Department of Justice’s handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Just this week, Trump seemed to pull an about-face on the Mueller report, tweeting that there should not be one at all. Previously, Trump has stuck to acting blasé about the report, claiming that he has nothing to fear.

    And why is this coming up again? Every day - “the Mueller Report is coming out soon.” Says who?

  2. Ah, the typical weekend message board crash @tpm

  3. So he claims he told the GOP to vote for “transparency” (yeah, right) and they didn’t. Did they defy him or is he lying?

    :joy:

  4. Since the stuff’s been down, I missed things. Have we impeached the motherfucker yet?

    Yeah but it’s back up since this is one of the new stories.

    I agree about the crash. I was just about to go TPM as fuck until this started again.
