Trump liked the Mueller report when it looked good for him. Today he called it “total bullshit.”

President Donald Trump has gone from “Total EXONERATION” to “total bullshit” on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation in less than a month.

After Attorney General Bill Barr released a March 24 letter to Congress announcing that Mueller was ending his investigation and had decided not to pursue criminal charges against Trump, the president tweeted, “No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION.”

Even at the time, however, there were indications that Trump was getting ahead of himself. Barr’s brief letter didn’t include a single complete sentence from the Mueller report he was purportedly encapsulating, and even the fragments he did include made it explicitly clear that Mueller was not exonerating Trump.

Less than four weeks later, Trump is now singing a very different tune. With a redacted version of the Mueller report now available for public consumption, Trump on Friday morning labeled parts of it “total bullshit.”

Trump’s early position gave credence to the report when it served him well. But now that it doesn’t, the report is nonsense. Life comes at you fast.

In an earlier tweet, Trump particularly singled out comments from former White House counsel Don McGahn, included in Mueller’s report. McGahn was extensively cooperative with Mueller’s team, and part of his testimony detailed Trump’s unconventional beliefs about lawyers — beliefs that alluded to how fast and loose Trump’s lawyers handled his business before he became president. From the report:

The President also asked McGahn in the meeting why he had told Special Counsel’s Office investigators that the President had told him to have the Special Counsel removed. McGahn responded that he had to and that his conversations with the President were not protected by attorney-client privilege. The President then asked, “What about these notes? Why do you take notes? Lawyers don’t take notes. I never had a lawyer who took notes.” McGahn responded that he keeps notes because he is a “real lawyer” and explained that notes create a record and are not a bad thing. The President said, “I’ve had a lot of great lawyers, like Roy Cohn. He did not take notes.”

As McGahn alludes to in that excerpt and makes clear in other parts of his testimony, Trump asked him to fire Mueller, but McGahn refused to act on the request. Ultimately, the refusal of McGahn and other aides to act on the president’s directives to interfere with the Mueller investigation limited the president’s legal exposure.

“The President’s efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful,” the report states, “but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests.”

Mueller also notes that he agrees with the Nixon-era opinion of the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) that a sitting president cannot be indicted. So while Trump may have escaped prosecution, there’s no denying that Mueller’s final report paints a deeply unflattering portrait of a president who stopped at nothing in his efforts to thwart the special counsel’s work.

Hence, “TOTAL Exoneration” has now become “total bullshit.”
