When Ken Starr released his famous report on Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky in 1998, the embattled president couldn’t move on fast enough. Fast forward to Mueller's report today... It doesn't seem like Donald Trump is adopting the Clinton strategy

When Ken Starr released his famous report on Bill Clinton in 1998, the embattled president couldn’t move on fast enough. An estimated 20 million Americans tore through the independent counsel’s findings, laid out in a 445-page document that contained sordid, voyeuristic details about Clinton’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and argued forcefully for his impeachment.

White House allies are starting to worry that Trump’s inability to move on to other subjects, or at the very least stick to playing up Mueller’s conclusion that his campaign did not engage in a criminal conspiracy with the Russian government, is doing more harm than good.

Clinton was able to ride out the scandal and even turn it back against the Republican-led Congress, ending his presidency with an approval rating in the 60s. Trump’s barrage at McGahn is also at odds with the special counsel’s report, which methodically assessed whether Trump’s former top lawyer might have misinterpreted his boss’s instructions -- and concluded that he hadn’t.

McGahn then contemplated resigning in protest, but the president ultimately backed down, and he remained the White House counsel until October 2018.

Yea right, like he's known to listen to reasoned advice😄

This is a joke right ? MSM pushed Russian hoax for two years and continues to do so. 😂

Good advice to Trump: SHUT UP ! and let it go.

Really, he doesn't have right to fight back after all he has been thru. I hope every one who lied about Pres Trump and Russia are exposed and jailed.

He won’t listen! Carry this man out of office now! He need to go home. Tell him he can still be a reality show comedian on live stages around US. That will send him packing!

This is because they have Read the Report and know realDonaldTrump still doesn’t understand that Muller outlined at least 11 acts of Obstruction that he advised Congress to take up. GOP Leadership at least have sense to be frightened !

He can't shut up about Mueller, because thats the source from which most of his problems flows. Unless he has someone to carry that fight for him, which he does not. Than he has to keep talking about it.

LET GO AFTER A SOFT COUP ATTEMPT? Not even a little bit

Try harder allies!

No, no way. Attempted coup? Obama admin was spying and trying to entrap american citizens for political reasons? No way, justice is coming. We the people want blood. This will never happen again!

politico and fake news sold this fake story for 2+years, now you get to hear it and don’t complain

Noooooo! Keep talking.

Why? You didn’t shut up for 2 years.....24/7.

Let it go my ass! Time to put the Offense on the field, and putting people behind bars. This wasn't a school yard spat. This was an attempted Coup of a duly elected sitting President. Let it go... Really, like the Dems are doing? 'We have to believe Mueller.' BlahBlahBlah

Yeah, sweep it under the rug!

Nooooo, they aren’t. Stop the fakenews

Politico it all about deflection for him. To take the edge off of his own issues. Failure is often a leaves bitter tastes to redirecting hate at others

It would be hilarious if trump’s attorneys had believed trump when he said he had nothing to hide and recommended letting his people talk to mueller

Lie, no one is urging him not to talk about Muller. It is a win and great results for him. What people want is for him to ensure we investigate those who started this false investigation and who spied in US Citizens.

He is too busy trying to defend himself only a person needing to defend himself is a guilty man

He has allies? Trying to advise the inadvisable is a lot of fun, I’m sure.

25thAmendmentNow

It’s hammer time for the attempted coup.

It’s a guilty conscience speaking. He can’t let it go.

He can’t because he is DerangedDonald

Exactly bro chill

Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. He’s still talking about his inauguration that no one went to.

Let up about Mueller ? are you kidding me the Democrat party attempt to overthrow a sitting president and you want the president And the voters to just walk away from it! It’s just starting to get good connecting the dots back to the Dem’s

😑

I’ve been saying this about literally everyone since 2016

Do they even know this guy?

But he CAN’T, because Trump has NO impulse control, and THAT’S just ONE of his instability quirks.

He can’t. He’s obsessed. Let him keep at it, eventually he will be hoist by his own petard. 😏

I say LET HIM KEEP RUNNING HIS MOUTH! Hopefully he’ll further incriminate himself!

No he needs to declassify the FISA applications and start doing what Mueller should have done. Put the people in jail who tried to interfere in our elections and overthrow the government.

Pathology.

He’s an old man. He will talk about it everyday for the rest of his life. Believe me. I have an elderly parent living in Groundhog Day. It’s sad.

He's not right in the head.

That’s never going to happen DerangedDonald is like a dog with a bone. realDonaldTrump ego can’t take the fact that he’s being accused of obstruction.....denial is s powerful emotion

Yeah because that is Trump's strong suit, 'letting things go'...🤨😏

Moût. Keep on talking and railing about Mueller’s reports. U are GOD. Therefore, above anything. A joke!

HE HAS ALLIES?

No justice. No peace. Hang them from the highest tree in the land, each from the feet of the other, like a sinister family tree then scorch the Earth around them and salt their graves so not a single daisy can ever be pushed up.

No, please. Keep digging a deeper hole.

They assume he is capable of letting it go. He’s not.

They clearly don’t understand him

You guys will love that right. Thank God he does not listen to idiots like you guys and the Republicans deep state.

Tortured for 2+ years with BS claims, false charges & attempted coup. He should have them all charged and let the convictions do the talking.

...yes, because he has such a history of learning to let go, not be petty, and pass as an emotional age above 'soiled toddler'

Trump has NPD(Narcissistic Personality Disorder). He’s incapable of letting anything that bruises his inflated ego go.

Deranged Donald cannot help himself, so sad

Too late. Impeach NOW

This is what a lying deranged bully does.

Americaneedsyou senatemajldr LindseyGrahamSC HouseGOP SenateGOP rein realDonaldTrump in

Hell No!!! Barr needs to Investigate every one of these Bums!!! Biggest Fraud of an Investigation in History

Oh NOW he's supposed to let it go after two years of unrelenting false reporting. The tables are turning, corruption exposed.

Good f ing lu k!😉

This is ironic as the Dems won’t let it go , he’s not the one investigating Barr is , the FISA court already have evidence. Comey also only has 2 weeks

DerabgedDonald has completely damaged himself with his own mouth and through Twitter .

No he doesn’t

Yes shut up about a coup they tried.

There was a hoax cast on 7.7 billion people. It's only just begun. Now it's time for those responsible to be punished.

Like Trump can let go of anything. He’s still blithering on about HRC, FFS.

Lol. they must know that never works. He's a child. You tell him he shouldn't do something and he goes 'oh yeah, you're not my dad! I do what I want!'

Trump is guilty of obstruction of justice and money laundering and the situation is traumatizing him.

...doesn't this criminal-clown have work to do? a country to run What a failure!! HopelessCase MentallyUnbalanced CriminalInTheWhiteHouse

Best candidate in History of election,,realDonaldTrump Musts be Second president of USA,,This is last Chance for World,,

No No No...let it rip. I love listen to stupid people try to explain shit. Highly, Highly entertaining.

Trump has never let go of anything, he’s mentally incapable. I think he’s probably still holding grudges against former high school students. He cannot apologize or let anything go. It’s a easily diagnosed disorder.

F trump

Bye bye TrumpyDump!!! realDonaldTrump ImpeachDonaldTrump

Once SpyGate has run its course, he’ll let it go.

Fake sources. Name names or it's FAKE.

yeah, good luck with that one thing he can't do, let something go

One does not “shut up” re: TREASON.

Mueller Report it is worst vs Watergate proofs

Except he's a narcissist and senile, so he listens to no one.
