As many have noted during the past week, Robert Mueller and his legal sell-swords must have been aware for nigh onto two years, at least, that the accusation that Trump's campaign colluded with the Russians had no evidentiary support.
It was all an effort to entrap Trump himself or at least some of his supporters into actions that could be branded as "Obstruction of justice," with that term broadly interpreted to encompass almost any action he took.
When Trump said Michael Flynn was a "Good guy," this was spun as "Obstruction." When he wanted to release FISA memos, he was warned that this would be "Obstruction." Any reaching out to witnesses would have been branded "Obstruction." Any statement of sympathy for Paul Manafort or Roger Stone would have been obstruction gold.
Mueller was running a chevauchée designed to inflict pain and, in Sundance's words, "To goad President Trump into something Mueller could then color/construe as obstruction and then open House impeachment." Sundance thinks Mueller's staff may have been ready to escalate by indicting Trump family members and were stopped only by new A.G. William Barr's calling a halt.
Given Trump's aggressive nature and tendency to wield Twitter like an axe, one would have expected him to come out from behind his walls of lawyers and engage, and it is to the credit of those lawyers that they prevented this.
At a recent speech, Trump said repeatedly that this must never happen to another president, but the president is only a part of it.
After the 2016 election, Trump seemed willing to do this, but instead of reciprocity, he got a vicious attack.
