He laid into Mueller’s decision to qualify his decision on obstruction of justice by saying he didn’t “exonerate” Trump either. It’s tempting for the Trump team to claim complete exoneration now that Trump has been spared of criminal accusations. At the same time, just as we don’t know the full context of Mueller’s report, neither does Trump. What we do know is that, given Mueller’s decision to emphasize he’s not exonerating Trump, there is likely a good bit of derogatory information. We’ll see how the Trump team continues to handle this in the days ahead, but Giuliani’s performance on Monday night suggests it is still girding for some bad news.
