As Washington braces for Mueller report, Trump says he's in the dark, too

Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.President Donald Trump on Friday continued to claim there was"no collusion" between his 2016 presidential campaign and Russia as Washington braces for special counsel Robert Mueller's highly anticipated report.

Trump noted that he did not know when Mueller would submit his report when asked if the report would be submitted on Friday. Recent high-profile departures from the special counsel's office, including top prosecutor Andrew Weissmann and top FBI investigator David Archey, has led to public speculation that Mueller is nearing the end of his investigation.Mueller is required to submit the report to Barr at the conclusion of his investigation into Russian election interference and Trump.

"It's just a continuation of the same witch hunt," he said, referring to Mueller's probe."They know it and behind closed doors, they laugh at it...they ought to go to work, get infrastructure done and get a lot of other things done instead of wasting everybody's time."

mitchellreports Packing his bags to move out!

I don't hold much faith in it providing enough to incite the spineless GOP to consider impeachment. That investigation was limited to Russian interference in our election. The House Oversight Committee is NOT limited and the SDNY isn't limited. They are just getting started.

'In the dark' describes your whole presidency

Everything that comes out of this man's mouth is never a completely factual. Pathological liars anonymous......he is probably the president of that as well.

mitchellreports Get used to work the dark, realDonaldTrump ,as in solitary confinement!!! NotMyPresident SpeakTruthtoPower thruthhasavoice

Trump has been in the dark since he took the Oaf of Office..yes, Oaf because he is one!

'As washington braces' hahahaha what is this a tornado? You know no matter what is in this report Republicans aren't going to do anything right? No one who supports Trump is going to change. He will just get away with whatever he wants. This report is useless.

mitchellreports Even Trump doesn't know if they caught every illegal thing he has done.

mitchellreports Good (even though it’s not true), they can now fully focus on white, homegrown terrorists

When you are guilt as shit, you are not in the dark.....only his supporters are in the dark but soon will get enlightened about their el presidente

Too easy...moving on.

IN liar trumps febble mind being in the dark is not new to him/. he probably in the dark to what mueller knows & is getting scared/.

Always has been

Shoot, he's been in the dark for about sixty years.

He’s suddenly stopped ranting about a witch hunt which leads me to believe he has an idea of what’s in the report, or he knows most of it will be redacted and the public won’t see it.

You Think ?

Nothing new; he's always in the dark!😏

In the dark? What are you, Fox and friends?

Will all the opinionated reporters and commentators apologize to the American people? Will they demand explanations from politicians like Schiff, Schumer and others?

Not happening

DONALD TRUMP YOUAR...24/7 WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN IS IN DARKE USA. FBI..CIA..USA FEDERAL USA NASA USA. FEDERAL JUDGE FEDERAL COURT JUDGE AMERICAN CANTRIY JUSTICE

D.C should be bracing themselves. We will be seeing many folks stepping down & going to jail

mitchellreports Why report what she says when every other word out of his mouth is a lie.

Trump's so full of s--t it's pitiful. He's busy on his burner phones with Barr, etc., on their burners or walkie talkies, or faxes, controlling the happenings. Can't wait till they're all indicted. Anyone halfway decent already left this administration.

What's new?

. And not just about the Mueller Report.

mitchellreports You sure are in “the dark” Trump. It’s great reading you admit it.

He's in the dark? Shit, the lights are out and no one is home

Trump saying if Muller report is unfavorable to me people will not stand for it If Muller reports comes out that Russia influenced our elections and Trump and his family colluded with them 90% of Americans will want him out of office. The election will have to be rejected.

mitchellreports Not for long, the prison lighting is top notch I hear.

MSNBC just said the report is SECONDS away. Are they insane? What do they know that no one else does?

When you have an idiot in the WH who has no idea how the government works that a 6th grader even knows. Saying since Muller was not elected his report means nothing. So are we to elect every FBI, DEA, ATF and USMS agents?

The media will have egg all over their face, once released

Trump lives in the dark.

Well at least Trump said something I agree with 'he's in the dark'

The only truth he's ever told

More fake news by KenDilanianNBC ?

It’s not coming soon.

Lights out at 7

itsmuellertime_ Donald says he's fine with the MuellerReport being released to the public. He said the same thing about his taxreturns .

Haha as in he doesnt remember oooor...

Remember, April Fools Day is coming!

Donald trump is a damn liar and as of now has pushed the prejudice and hate meter to a high as the 1930's trump has committed treason and he should have his head cut off

mitchellreports No he's not. Whittaker filled him in on all of it.

Mueller's not stupid. His report will come out when Trump least expects it.

Collusion Illusion Let's see what kind of Magic Smoke muller tries to pull out of his AOC . Can't wait. Anything about the 4!$A docs, u Ranium1, FBImpeach?

mitchellreports Well, 1) he’s always in the dark, ie, idiotic; but 2) if he’s actually saying that now, it probably means he knows something is coming soon. Hopefully it will not be at all good for him or the other sleazy Trumps/Kushner.

I doubt it.

Bullshit. He was upbeat when lying. Barr is likely doing his bidding. He may not be indicted by Mueller and the Feds but he'll soon be in the barrel.

Oh he is in the Dark alright!

The man who micromanages everything says he’s not micromanaging everything.

I don't believe it. I think Barr gas been filling him in and will protect him because he was appointed by Trump.

I feel quite confident the new 'fixer' has been as quiet as a church mouse pissing on a cotton ball about the whole investigation

But, but, it's a 'witch hunt', so he knows he's innocent, right?

He is always out in space For him to know what's going on he would have to listen when people explain what is going on I dont think he's gonna start listening anytime soon

His self-selected AG is keeping him abreast you can be certain--and he seems to be of little concern--The FIX is in....

Bet CNN knows!

As he should be.. I want surprises and lockups

mitchellreports Most of the time that is.

Yeah right. He’s gonna have his AG go thru it and remove things he doesn’t want seen. It’s gonna be the modern day equivalent of the missing 18 minutes.

This is one time that I might have to agree with him. He's in the dark, alright. About everything.

Prediction: Nothingburger.

Finally a true statement

He feels confident Barr will either bar it or Trump makes adjustments to it before others see it, so that's why he can say public is ok to see report! After all his witch hunt tweets, he'll definitely not allow report to be public unless he's gone thru it with a fine tooth comb!

The only ones who need to brace for anything are the guilty.

I don't understand the argument the media outlets are making that the President doesn't want to release the report. He has never said such a thing, but they keep making it a point anyway. So, it is nothing more than speculation again, by these opinion networks.

Rather than 'brace' they should be removing WhatsAppJared

Always notice how Hannity and Trump supporters ALWAYS head to Mar-A-Lago when shit is about to hit the fan Hope Mueller is looking into that crap also!!

Well, we already knew that.

Ugh. I’m so tired of the waiting. Really don’t want to see anything else about the report until the tweet says that it’s done.

mitchellreports He lies about everything. So....
