Thiessen: Mueller investigation's end could offer Trump a chance to grow his base

Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen speculated on Friday that President Trump could face better odds at expanding his support base after Special Counsel Robert Mueller effectively ended his investigation into Russian meddling and potential obstruction of justice.

"He is now free to go out and reach out to people in a way that he probably wasn't when the Mueller probe was happening," Thiessen said on "Special Report."

Thiessen, who also served as former President George W. Bush's chief speechwriter, indicated that the investigation's end released Trump from intense criticism that nudged him toward coalescing around his base.

"It gives him freedom — one of the reasons his poll numbers are so bad despite the economy, is because for two years he's been dealing with this Russia investigation," he said.

Hopefully he’s free to “reach out” and throw the goddamn traitors in jail.

A helluva lot of Americans don’t pay attention to politics, don’t know who Mueller is, or even Barr. All they’re going to take away is someone accused Trump of doing something with Russia and someone found that he didn’t do it.

Just go to your nearest Wal Mart if you doubt me.

Trump didn’t do anything wrong. Trump made America Great Again and they’re better off financially than when Obozo was President. Check the box for Trump again.

“A helluva lot of Americans don’t pay attention to politics, don’t know who Mueller is, or even Barr.”

Make that the majority of Americans!
