Stephen Colbert's lengthy reaction to the (apparent) outcome of the Mueller investigation was sharp, very funny, and passionate:
While I am at it - is it just me, or is the vibe of Trump himself not quite as jubilant as one might have expected? Sure, he's been talking about exoneration and looking into those who made claims, etc: but to my mind there is has been a whiff of exhaustion and resignation about it, rather than energy.
This might be imagination, but is it possible he feels he will miss victimhood status? Or even regret that a finding against him might have given him grounds to resign from a job he doesn't really like? OK, maybe that's going too far, but the fact he fell silent on twitter before the Barr letter indicated something a bit odd - who had convinced him not to tweet? The other funny thing I have seen speculated is that, feeling relieved, he will soon be making admissions that will throw doubt on the whole obstruction/collusion question again.
