This is not true:https://t.co/fcFrTyiIIc via @MarkLandler and me— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 25, 2019
Determinations and conclusions are already being drawn as the press rushes to define and defend a narrative. Ironic, as the complaints are already starting that what Mueller considered for 22 months Barr dispensed with in 22 hours, and now the press concludes in 22...minutes? It's not quite that neat, but the point is the same: a too quick settling of the claims no better founded than the White House and Trump declaring complete exoneration.The end of the Mueller investigation undercuts the threat of impeachment and provides Trump with a powerful boost for the final 22 months of his term. https://t.co/qIC2jPnESu— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) March 25, 2019
The truth is more complex, and the future not so easily settled. Besides, Trump can't get out of his own way. That demand for investigations alone is going to dissipate any "powerful boost." And the SDNY is hardly dismissed by this report; nor have the Democrats yet fully answered.
Tonight is only tonight, not forever.
