Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who has been outspokenly anti-Trump, told his fellow Democrats to be prepared to be let down by the Mueller report.
From Hot Air [emphasis added]:
He sees little chance the Senate would convict Trump even if the House impeached him, barring some major revelations from Mueller.
“All these people who hope that he’s going to take this scourge of a man out of the White House are going to be really disappointed when he doesn’t do that,” Bharara says. “I think it’s perfectly possible that the Mueller report will not be that damaging to the president. And all of us need to be prepared to accept that and move on.”
Wow. This could also be the reason why Nancy Pelosi took that extra step to stomp down talk about impeachment too.
Bharara went on to make more predictions about the report:
He thinks Robert Mueller, the special counsel brought in to investigate that allegedly tainted election after Trump fired Comey, will want to explain himself, at least privately. Bharara predicts Mueller will deliver a robust report to Attorney General William Barr that will lay out precisely why and how he decided to prosecute — or not — various individuals swept up in the Russia probe, including the president.
“He could give something bare-bones to the AG, because he’s said what he was going to say in publicly filed documents and indictments,” Bharara said in an interview. “Or, I think it’s slightly more likely — a hunch I have — that he’ll write a very lengthy, detailed document that goes into the prosecutions and the declinations at great length, with a lot of supporting exhibits as well.”
Then, he says, Barr will face an excruciating dilemma: how much of the report to reveal to Congress and to the public. Disclose too much, and he’ll anger his boss in the White House. Disclose too little, and Democrats will howl.
Very interesting. John Sexton at Hot Air notes that is very very unlikely that Democrats will actually move on, and much more likely that they will continue to howl. After all, they are already taking their eggs out of the Mueller Report basket, and putting them into the SDNY investigation basket. That way we can keep on ad on endlessly making accusations without substantiation. Because that keeps people outraged without any actual resolution. Also, #MAGA!!!
