Perplexed Dilanian Admits Mueller Report is 'Complete Vindication of the President'

While many of his colleagues have spread conspiracy theories about the Mueller report and even called it racist, MSNBC's Ken Dilanian seemed open to self-reflection.  While Dilanian described the conclusion of the Mueller report as "hard to understand," he nonetheless declared: "if we say we have confidence in Robert Mueller, I think we have to state loud and clear that this was a resounding vindication."  He attempted to placate the Trump-haters on the network by noting "this wasn't the Mueller report we got today, this was the Barr summary of the Mueller report" before speculating about the contents of the Mueller report: "What about all those Russia contacts and the lying? What explains all that? Was the Trump campaign manipulated by a sophisticated covert Russian operation? Were they negligent? Did the FBI warn Donald Trump and did he ignore that warning?" Shortly after engaging in speculation, Dilanian resumed self-reflection: "those of us and members of the public who placed stock in the idea that this was a criminal case and Robert Mueller was going to prosecute it, we have to acknowledge today that what Robert Mueller found on collusion and conspiracy was a complete vindication of the President."
