I wonder if Barr or other trump supporting DOJ staff have been in contact with the White House and trump now knows what's in the Mueller report.
Last week it wasn't the greatest thing, proved their was no collusion, yet last night trump had twitter rants about it.
How it was "phone and fraudulent",

@realDonaldTrump
Everybody is asking how the phony and fraudulent investigation of the No Collusion, No Obstruction Trump Campaign began. We need to know for future generations to understand. This Hoax should never be allowed to happen to another President or Administration again!

There was no obstructon investigation until 6 months after the campaign ended and as George Conway pointed out,

Yes—apparently some idiot fired the FBI director and then went on national television and said that he had “this Russia thing with Trump” on his mind “when I decided to just do it.” He’s probably the guy to blame.

Effectively 100% in favour then, because only diehard Trump defenders fearing the worst would vote against.

According to the Washington Post, trump has had 801 days in office, delivering 9,451 false or misleading claims, averaging 11.8 false claims a day,

He's heavily stepped up from his first year. trump is now averaging 22 false claims a day, a steep climb from the average of nearly 5.9 false or misleading claims a day in his first year in office.

The Wall Street Journal analyzed the list of at-risk projects released by the Defense Department last week and found that “slightly more than half” of them are located “either in foreign countries or US territories lacking a congressional vote.”

How many of those 801 days have been spent (i) on a golf course; or (ii) a Trump property (and what is the crossover between the 2 answers)?

My US friends and colleagues invoke the line "Yes but at least he's doing what he said he was going to do - unlike other politicians". They seem to use this, and that the economy is doing well, to overlook everything else.

A whistle-blower working inside the White House has told a House committee that senior Trump administration officials granted security clearances to at least 25 individuals whose applications had been denied by career employees.

The whistle-blower, Tricia Newbold, a manager in the White House’s Personnel Security Office, told the House Oversight and Reform Committee in a private interview last month that the 25 individuals included two current senior White House officials, in additional to contractors and other employees working for the office of the president

It staggers me that none of them are 100%

What possible reason could anyone have for not wanting to see it?

Cognitive dissonance. The concept that Donald Trump might not be Completely Innocent(TM) of the Witch HUNT(R) is unconscionable to some people so evidence to the contrary must be silenced and suppressed like the DEEP STATE conspiracy it is.

But it does give you a good indication as to how few Americans are true Trump fans, even if the estimates are a little off (probably in the low 20's if I took a guess) there's no way they are 250% or more out of sync.

I still think Trump will get off due to lack of evidence though, the slimy bugger.

He's also very strong on immigration. He's also torn up a lot of the Environmental protection stuff. He's also pontificated about Transgender people serving int he military. If you're a dyed-in-the-wool right-wing nutjob why wouldn't you vote for him?

Strange night for trump last night, another night of ranting on twitter. Started about 10pm by midnight we'd had 6 rants, Obamacare, the “crazed and incompetent” Mayor of San Juan, the Dems for farmers failing.

trump knows whats in Muellers report, he must do. He always does this when he's worried about something coming and todays the deadline for Barr to hand it over.

meanwhile, whilst trying to repeal obamacare, trumps punted that decision until after the next election.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

....are developing a really great HealthCare Plan with far lower premiums (cost) & deductibles than ObamaCare. In other words it will be far less expensive & much more usable than ObamaCare. Vote will be taken right after the Election when Republicans hold the Senate & win......

So again, he has no plans, and the Dems did well in midterms campaigning on healthcare and taxes.

Only the best people

Trump has put Senator Rick Scott in charge of his new push for an Obamacare Replacement

Rick Scott ran the Healthcare company, Columbia/HCA, which took part in what the DOJ called the “largest government fraud settlement in U.S. history”

And yet, the nutters are still out there supporting trump. Right-wing conspiracy theorist and radio host Dave Janda appeared on Greg Hunter’s “USA Watchdog” program to urge Trump supporters to stock up on weapons, food and water once President Trump declassifies the Mueller Report.

“People need to be ready,” said Hunter. “They need to have food, water, cars gassed up. They need to be off the street when this hits the fan. You have to think the worst case scenario,” “Having some lead and some means to deliver the lead to protect yourself and your family is also a good move.

His Twitter rants aren't because something's about to happen. (People keep suggesting that every time he goes turbo-loony i.e. that he's gone turbo loony because of XYZ). There isn't any XYZ, He's just a narcissist with mental health issues and Twitter helps him vent his insecurities.
