The Trump team's Mueller report game plan: Read the report quickly and put out responses

WASHINGTON – On Thursday, at least a dozen attorneys and staff members for President Donald Trump will plunge into special counsel Robert Mueller’s 400-page report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. Their mission? Distill the document into a quick response for the waiting political world.

The president and his advisers are getting ready for the release by the Department of Justice of the findings by the special counsel whose probe Trump has called a “hoax” and a “witch hunt.” Staff and lawyers will be assigned sections of the report to digest as the team looks to develop official statements and talking points.

The descriptions of the Trump team’s preparations are based on interviews with five sources familiar with the plans.

A summary of the report released last month by Attorney General William Barr said Mueller did not find evidence of collusion between Trump or his campaign and Russia but the document will give a much fuller picture of the investigation.

The White House has already read the report. Don't believe what that crook Barr tells you.

Barr briefed Trump on where the investigation was going.

Barr then shut the investigation down before the report was even finished and then proclaimed Mueller "couldn't come to a conclusion" on Trump's guilt or whatever (well, DUH...).

Who here really believes Trump didn't see the report more than a MONTH AGO?

And now they'll have us believe they'll "read it quickly?" Bullshit. Guilliani and his boys had been talking about a "counter report" for months for a reason...

They reported two days ago that Rudy Giuliani already had 140 pages ready to respond?

What happened?
