It is kind of interesting to notice how most of the people pushing that particular conspiracy theory have dropped it like it never existed in the wake of the Barr memo. Mueller partially exonerates Trump! So all good. Nevermind that it also contradicts the previous reason we were supposed to exonerate him.
I can't help thinking that this theory was so wild that even the friggen' birther-in-chief himself dropped it a while back. Out of character, really. They must've gotten to him.

My take is that Trump has never stopped working for the DNC.
In Wikileaks we saw that they promoted him as a pied piper candidate.
Trump could more effectively hit back against the partisan attacks with details outlined by Judicial Watch
or even discussing specific conflicts of interest in both his and Hillary's investigation.
Instead he played like a dumb and guilty patsy and only appealed to the ignorant partisans for his fake news pleads.
He's smarter than that.
He is working with the DNC to ensure that nobody guilty of FISA abuse and FEC violations in wikileaks are ever prosecuted.
He's the perfect phony villain figure.

Either that or Trump is so dumb that he's not taking advantage of readily available data from whistle-blowers like Bill Binney
to clear his name because he's too worried about his own ties to the Italian Mafia and thinks the Feds are using
Russia-gate as a smokescreen to get to his real mob ties.

I'd say neither conspiracy nor stupidity; he's just driven & limited by his mania, dissociation, and uncontrollable narcissism for simple and sad reasons of his personality disorder brought on by the neglect of his parents. I'm not saying that's gospel, just what I think is the most evidence-based conclusion subject to more and better evidence of another alternative.
Anyway, re: the Meuller report, there's a little leakage from inside the team after the Barr treatment:
(
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/03/us/politics/william-barr-mueller-report.html) Some on Mueller's Team Say Report Was More Damaging Than Barr Revealed
Quote Posted by "New York Times"
Some of Robert S. Mueller III's investigators have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated, according to government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations.
At stake in the dispute — the first evidence of tension between Mr. Barr and the special counsel's office — is who shapes the public's initial understanding of one of the most consequential government investigations in American history. Some members of Mr. Mueller's team are concerned that, because Mr. Barr created the first narrative of the special counsel's findings, Americans' views will have hardened before the investigation's conclusions become public.
Mr. Barr has said he will move quickly to release the nearly 400-page report but needs time to scrub out confidential information. The special counsel's investigators had already written multiple summaries of the report, and some team members believe that Mr. Barr should have included more of their material in the four-page letter he wrote on March 24 laying out their main conclusions, according to government officials familiar with the investigation. Mr. Barr only briefly cited the special counsel's work in his letter.
However, the special counsel's office never asked Mr. Barr to release the summaries soon after he received the report, a person familiar with the investigation said. And the Justice Department quickly determined that the summaries contain sensitive information, like classified material, secret grand-jury testimony and information related to current federal investigations that must remain confidential, according to two government officials.
Mr. Barr was also wary of departing from Justice Department practice not to disclose derogatory details in closing an investigation, according to two government officials familiar with Mr. Barr's thinking. They pointed to the decision by James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, to harshly criticize Hillary Clinton in 2016 while announcing that he was recommending no charges in the inquiry into her email practices.
The officials and others interviewed declined to flesh out why some of the special counsel's investigators viewed their findings as potentially more damaging for the president than Mr. Barr explained, although the report is believed to examine Mr. Trump's efforts to thwart the investigation. It was unclear how much discussion Mr. Mueller and his investigators had with senior Justice Department officials about how their findings would be made public. It was also unclear how widespread the vexation is among the special counsel team, which included 19 lawyers, about 40 F.B.I. agents and other personnel.
At the same time, Mr. Barr and his advisers have expressed their own frustrations about Mr. Mueller and his team. Mr. Barr and other Justice Department officials believe the special counsel's investigators fell short of their task by declining to decide whether Mr. Trump illegally obstructed the inquiry, according to the two government officials. After Mr. Mueller made no judgment on the obstruction matter, Mr. Barr stepped in to declare that he himself had cleared Mr. Trump of wrongdoing.
Representatives for the Justice Department and the special counsel declined to comment on Wednesday on views inside both Mr. Mueller's office and the Justice Department. They pointed to departmental regulations requiring Mr. Mueller to file a confidential report to the attorney general detailing prosecution decisions and to Mr. Barr's separate vow to send a redacted version of that report to Congress. Under the regulations, Mr. Barr can publicly release as much of the document as he deems appropriate.

Or, as we learn from the golf cheating stories and other sources, Trump lies even when he doesn't need to. He just can't help himself.
Starker on 5/4/2019 at 03:42
So, let me get this straight. Mueller's team wrote summaries specifically for public release and Barr nevertheless decided to put out his own summary (which he now insists isn't a summary at all), even though he was at no point expected to do that. And the reason he made his own summary instead of using those in the report was that there was a legal disclaimer on every page.
And now (
https://www.axios.com/mueller-report-republicans-rand-paul-block-release-60e8ac29-d427-40e1-b792-913b7a378d3e.html) Senate Republicans have for the fifth time blocked a resolution to release the report, which passed the House unanimously. They must really hate Lord Dampnut if they don't want him exonerated, as the report is claimed to do.

It's 'her emails" times a thousands.
[video=youtube;lGHXVEV-0DI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGHXVEV-0DI[/video]
A Chinese national with two passports, 4 cell phones and a data stick full of malware, infiltrates the most porous hangout of D.J. Trump.
And Alex Acosta, Trump's Secretary Of Labor and Prosecutor who made the deal that allowed Jeffry Epstein, convicted child-sex trafficker and rapist, to serve only 13 months on day release for 36 child sex related offenses, cuts 80% of the budget from the labor department which protects children from exploitation.

But so what? The dems had that basmentless pizza store with the sex ring in the basement, right?

Trump didn't "intentionally" bypass SCIF clearances to allow this woman to gain access to classified materials the way that Hillary and her cohorts did.

Pizzagate folks have been complaining about Eptstein for over 2 years now. Especially in light of the fact that Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey
were frequent guests on his "Lolita Express" airplane. MSNBC will never discuss that though.
About that "basementless" claim?
Why did James Alefantis claim that he stored 10 tons of Organic Tomatoes per year "in his basement" in a Metro Weekly interview in 2015?
(
https://www.metroweekly.com/2015/04/from-scratch-james-alefantis/)
And more pressing...
When he was interviewed on Fox to "clear his name" where was the niece he taped to the table?
Where were her parents?
Who interviews the subject of an investigation (Alefantis) to as the "authority" on the matter?
We still have no proof that the girl in that photo is alive and well other that Alefantis's own words.
