Mueller really played Trump like a pro
It's now very clear that Mueller is a Washington pro.
Friday: rumours of indictments start swirling around Washington, but no details leak (!)
Saturday/Sunday: Trump stewing on the rumours but unable to do much about it without further details.
Monday is when the fun starts:
Mueller: releases details of two indictments, waits for Trump tweets
Trump: immediately tweets it has nothing to do with him
Mueller: now releases the details of Papadopoulos’ plea agreement, pretty much nullifying Trump's tweeted statement.
Trump got played like a badly shaped orange lute. Mueller knew *exactly* what Trump's first reaction would be. That doesn't take a mind reader, but waiting with the Papadopoulos data until Trump had his say pretty much sawed the legs from under Trump & friends and left even Fox floundering until they decided to focus on the fake Hillary story instead (which has been repeatedly ripped apart by analysts, but that doesn't matter if all participants have decided to go with the lie).
I think the biggest shock must have reverberated between the Trump lawyers. I'm betting they are all switching to payment in advice now.
