CNN: White House Is Celebrating a ‘Win’ with a ‘Fair Amount of Glee’

‘I talked to a Trump campaign advisor earlier this evening who said this was a great day for America and we won’

RUSH EXCERPT:

ACOSTA: “Well, Anderson, I will say really to echo what Pam was just saying a few moments ago that they are celebrating quietly I think, tonight, would be the way to describe it, Anderson. They are responding to this news there are no new indictments in this Mueller report, you know, with a fair amount of glee. I talked to a Trump campaign advisor earlier this evening who said this was a great day for America and we won. That’s how they feel right now. Now, of course it is going to be, you know, very interesting to see what is in the full Mueller report or what these conclusions are that are released to Congress. And if that gets released to the general public it has been described as a comprehensive report. As Pam was saying, there’s something in between no new indictments and what’s in this comprehensive report. There could be information in there that may well be negative information for the president. So they’re going to have to deal with the fall out of that. But at this point it’s not exactly clear what the steps are. I talked to a White House official earlier this evening in terms of how this is all going to play out. What’s the review process like over at the White House, and that is sort of being worked out as we speak. As for the president, he seems to be laying low for this evening. There are no plans at this point.”
