    Following Mueller's unusual and surprising public address, on his last day as SC, regarding his team's investigation

    Fox News chief political anchor, Bret Baier, wasted no time making the point that Mueller's remarks
    would be troublesome for Trump. Baier said that.

    "I was struck by the tone and tenor of those remarks as he laid out his case wrapping up
    this report. This was not, as the president says time and time again,

    ‘no collusion, no obstruction.’
    It was much more nuanced than that. [...] He said specifically that if they had found that
    he President did not commit a crime on obstruction, they would have said that."
    further Mueller unambiguously threw the question of criminality squarely into the lap of Congress.

    He said that...

    “Charging the president with a crime was not an option that we could consider”
    [because] "the Constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system
    to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing
    ."
    That's an explicit reference to the constitutional duties of Congress and its responsibility to
    initiate impeachment proceedings. Mueller could not be more clear. It emphatically refutes
    Trump's claim about "witch hunts" and "hoaxes."

    Baier also blasted Barr's intentional misrepresentation of the Mueller report saying that it was more nuanced than Barr's portrayal and
    "In fact, it was almost exactly the opposite."

    That's the Fox News way of saying that Barr lied through his teeth



    Trump's con of being POTUS, appears to be heading to the same direction as his previous cons,
    such as Trump Casinos / Taj Mahal , Trump Air, Trump University, et al.
