This was to be expected. Either the report would destroy Trump, or they would not accept it.
What we are hearing now is that; “The full report won't be allowed to be released, so we’ll never really know all the facts pertinent to the Mueller investigation.” And even if it is – and there’s nothing in it – they will not budge. It will instead become, “Somehow they got to Mueller… bribed him… or something..” Never mind all the praise they gave him for being so honest and having such integrity.
Saying they're self-deluded is being too kind.
