WASHINGTON — For President Trump, it may have been the best day of his tenure so far. The darkest, most ominous cloud hanging over his presidency was all but lifted on Sunday with the release of the special counsel’s conclusions, which undercut the threat of impeachment and provided him with a powerful boost for the final 22 months of his term.
There are still other clouds overhead and no one outside the Justice Department has actually read the report by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, which may yet disclose damning information if made public. But the end of the investigation without findings of collusion with Russia fortified the president for the battles to come, including his campaign for re-election.
While critics will still argue about whether Mr. Trump tried to obstruct justice, the president quickly claimed vindication and Republican allies pounced on their Democratic colleagues for what they called an unrelenting partisan campaign against him. Even as his own party’s congressional leaders called on the country to move on, however, the president indicated that he may not be ready to, denouncing the very existence of Mr. Mueller’s investigation as “an illegal takedown that failed” and calling for a counterinvestigation into how it got started.
Emboldened and angry, the president can now proceed with his administration without the distraction of new search warrants and indictments by Mr. Mueller’s team or the worry that the special counsel might charge Mr. Trump’s family members or even uncover a smoking gun that would prove that his campaign collaborated with the Russian government to elect him in 2016. The questions about the Kremlin’s election interference that dogged the president almost everywhere he went may soon fade, even as other investigators continue to look into other allegations.

And pardon those good men who were destroyed by this witch hunt.
DJT:
Cry havoc
And release the dogs of war
Words fail.
“For Mr. Trump, that is as good a day as they come.”
These clowns have no clue what’s coming ..
Trump was right. CNN is Fake News without a doubt.
“While critics will still argue about whether Mr. Trump tried to obstruct justice”
which he didn’t. I know. I was one for the last 2 years to admit posting PDJT should fire Mueller but he did stuck with his guns and let it all run out.
There was NEVER any cloud. I ALWAYS believed MY President was innocent..the scandalous LIE was created by the commie left because the only crime Trump committed was WINNING in 2016, in the mind of the commie left that is punishable by death
I know money isn’t everything, but some of these folks were financially ruined defending themselves.
Conservative lecture/talk show circuit would put some $$ in their pockets once they are pardoned.
But Trump can’t do that before 2020.
That’s a given.
I didn’t say it was right or wrong.
I just said it’s a given.
Commies really are the biggest idiots on the planet. It is NOT the job of a prosecute to exonerate anyone..the fact that there was NO collusion means there was NO crime, its really that simple.
Now it’s time to investigate the investigators and their handlers.
The legal minds are busy now looking for a way to spin negatives on Mueller’s Report. The Dems. have nothing new to offer but more investigations? There was no collusion. Shouldn’t the country move on to some meat and potato issues?
Cloud??? What cloud????
The only “cloud” is that black one hanging over the MYT, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC...
MYT = NYT...
Not a cloud, a boot.
Isn't it "let slip" the dogs of war?
I love that image. Slowly letting go the collar at the perfect moment and watching the powerful animal take off like a rocket across the countryside. . .
The New York Times owes us an apology.
like almost all of the FakeNewsMSM, there is no mention of BO/HRC/DNC/Intel/FusionGPS/Steele/Russia/MSM collusion and the calls to now investigate the plot to overthrow President Trump.
Fox News is just as bad - apart from their opinion shows, they are focussing on the Dems response and further investigations into the President.
2 years of Dems controlling the phony Russia narrative.
no more.
time for the narrative to move to the President’s perspective. investigate the coup plotters now.
