white house official told me earlier that the white house's view is that in will help them in 2020 in terms of oh, retaking the house of representatives. now that can all very well be a very poly anna view of the situation trying to spin this as a positive for president trump. but the white house is also just trying to spin what robert mueller said. sarah hawk bee sanders, white house press secretary repeatedly said that mueller should have said whether or not he would have charged president trump with obstruction of justice. and she said he had a moral obligation to do that. but as you just pointed out, mueller made it clear that he felt he could not do that because of the doj guidelines. the white house is both trying to pin this as a positive for them from a political perspective and also trying to suggest that robert mueller shirked his responsibilities by not making it clear how he felt about the obstruction part of this and that by doing so essentially exonerated the president on obstruction. we all know that's not what mueller did in this report.
