'I'm Fucked,' And Other Damning Revelations From The Mueller Report

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON ― “Oh my God,” President Donald Trump said. I’m fucked.” That was how Trump reacted to the news that special counsel Robert Mueller had been appointed to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, according to Mueller’s report, which the Justice Department made public with several redactions Thursday morning. ‘The Worst Thing That Ever Happened To Me’ Trump and his allies have tried to spin Mueller’s findings as a win for the White House, which has long smeared the special counsel’s investigation as a politically motivated “witch hunt.” Yet the report includes plenty of damaging information about the president and his team. “These incidents were often carried out through on-on-one meetings in which the President sought to use his official power outside official channels.” But proving that the president obstructed justice would require the special counsel to determine whether Trump’s actions — which may have had the effect of impeding the Russia probe — were done with that intent, Mueller explained in the report. “Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.” The Pee Tape Mueller’s report shows that Michael Cohen, Trump’s longtime fixer, received a text message from Russian businessman Giorgi Rtskhiladze during the election campaign saying that Rtskhiladze had “stopped flow of tapes from Russia but not sure if there’s anything else.” Cohen told the special counsel’s team he briefed Trump on Rtskhiladze’s texts.
