El Presidente Trumpo quoted conservative think tank scholar Jesse Waters from the Five in his defense after the Mueller report dropped.
Here’s what he said:

“Donald Trump was being framed, he fought back. That is not Obstruction.” @JesseBWatters I had the right to end the whole Witch Hunt if I wanted. I could have fired everyone, including Mueller, if I wanted. I chose not to. I had the RIGHT to use Executive Privilege. I didn’t!”
This is actually an interesting point, so I’m sure Watters stole it from somewhere, but on the other hand it is doubtful that Trump kept from using executive privilege without his aides insisting on it. In any case, it takes away what could have been a line of argument from Democrats that they can’t use now….
You can read the Mueller report here.
UPDATE – He tweeted some more:

Geez, another good point!! He’s on fire today!!
