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.

Geez! You mean he’s the THIRD one of those a******s that have been turned loose on humanity?!
Who’s the dude with her?
Uh, duh. Sorry.
Comey, Lynch, Ohr, Strok, Page, the Clintons all will probably go down now because of this.
Obama is untouchable because he is the first black president.
There was no cloud over Trump’s presidency. There was a pack of rabid hyenas nipping at its heels!
And they’ve broken off every tooth they had trying to get a bite.
Time to go hyena hunting.
Simply because of the lost credibility of both the democrats and the media. They would have had difficulty overriding Trump’s veto, but now that the political calculus is that he will be president for six more years, and democrats have lost a lot of credibility, they will not get the votes to override the veto. Would they rather put up a fight about it and lose yet again?
There was never a cloud over OUR President.
Love it
“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...”
Amen bro, and all the clowns in the media and Dems like Schiff ALWAYS knew the President was innocent of what they were accusing him of too. It was all a sick game to these corrupt and dishonest pieces of excrement.
Rush may think they all honestly “believed” what they were spouting, perhaps because it was coming out of their mouths. To me that’s like saying Joseph Goebbels was really a very sincere chap who would never knowingly tell a lie.
LOLOLOLOL
I stopped reading after the headline. Oh, and where it said New York Times.
#6. BUT WE DO!!!! 2020 is going to make Little Big Horn seem like a Girl Scout picnic.
A dark cloud hangs over The New York Times - and almost by default - all the other liberal newspapers in the country.
