For nearly two years Donald Trump attacked special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation calling it “a witch hunt” performed by the “dark state” aka the FBI as reported by the ‘enemy of the people” aka the media. At least by the new Attorney General (AG) William Barr’s interpretation, the report vindicated POTUS. Given all that, one would think that someone owes Mueller an apology.
Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders appeared on NBC’s The Today Show with Savannah Guthrie. Apparently, the president never apologies:
‘”Does he (President Trump) owe Robert Mueller an apology?” @savannahguthrie asks @PressSec Sarah Sanders.’

Yet, if Barr’s interpretation is right, Mueller actually supported POTUS. Guthrie told Sanders:
‘For the last two years, the president has absolutely eviscerated Bob Mueller, a lifelong public servant, a former Marine, a registered Republican, I might add. He’s called him a national disgrace, discredited, a prosecutor gone rogue who oversaw a gang of thugs. Did Robert Mueller deserve better from the president than this kind of language and behavior?’
Of course, Sanders comes from that never-good-enough administration and responded that Mueller, the Democrats and the media tried to take down Trump:
‘(T)he American people deserved better. They didn’t deserve for the election of this president to try to be taken down.’
Guthrie commented on a “public servant” just doing his job, and Sanders replied with scorn:
‘Are you kidding? (They) have called the president an agent of a foreign government. That is an accusation equal to treason, which is punishable by death in this country.’
Guthrie jumped back in with:
‘You have kids and you know that if you say, “Did you do this?’ The answer isn’t: ‘Yeah, but my brother did that.’ (Trump) trashed (Mueller) for two years, and in the end Mueller just did an investigation that ultimately the president considers a total exoneration of him.”’
Then, Guthrie asked about an apology. Sanders replied:
‘I think Democrats and the liberal media owe the president and they owe the American people an apology. They wasted two years and created a massive disruption and distraction.’
