CNN Predicts Trump ‘Meltdown’ over Mueller Probe

‘They say there’s really no indication that Mueller is wrapping up his work’

EXCERPT:

MURRAY: "Good morning, Alisyn. Look, we are told privately President Trump has been less agitated about the special counsel’s investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials and that the president is even telling some friends and allies that he expects a letter of exoneration from Mueller. Now, part of this stems from conversations the president is having with his legal team, and his legal team has a very optimistic view that in the coming months, relatively quickly, Mueller will clear the president and the White House of any wrongdoing. But when you talk to people who are familiar with the Mueller probe, when you talk to other lawyers involved in it, they don’t have such a rosy view. They say there’s really no indication that Mueller is wrapping up his work. Now, we spoke to about three dozen people, people who work in this White House, people who are close to the president, people who are involved in the Mueller probe to get this assessment. And one of the big worries from Trump’s allies is that if this timeline doesn’t work out to the president’s benefit, he could have a meltdown. A key tipping point in this could be this week when Mueller and his team are sitting down with the president’s lawyers."
