Davis: The shocking fact that Mueller never would have accused Trump of a crime
By Lanny J. Davis, Opinion Contributor — 04/24/19 10:30 AM EDT
When you have a president who even his most ardent supporters admit lies frequently, a president who knows he lies and doesn’t care because he knows his supporters don’t care, it is important to identify what Mr. Mueller actually wrote in his report compared to Trump’s efforts to lie about it.
