Robert De Niros Robert Mueller and Alec Baldwins Donald Trump draw different conclusions from the Mueller Report in the latest cold open on Saturday Night Live, which aired its first new episode since the special counsel revealed his findings to Attorney General William Barr, played here by Aidy Bryant.
The sketch takes details from the Mueller Report and plays a political version of the Telephone Game, from Muellers actual report to Barrs succinct summary to Trumps victorious tweets.
I am submitting these 380 pages, De Niros Mueller says.
I am writing almost four pages, Bryants Barr writes in an email.
I am reading zero pages, but Sean Hannity read it and was so excited he texted me an eggplant, Baldwins Trump says.
Though Muellers report did not completely exonerate Trump on obstruction charges, Barrs handling of the report has allowed the president to broadcast his own interpretations.
Russia, if youre watching, go to bed. Daddy won, the president tweets.
Over a week after Mueller turned in his final report, it remains in the hands of the Justice Department, with Congress and the American people eagerly waiting to see the complete report as Mueller intended in April.
In conclusion, it is my hope that this report will be made public with a few redactions, De Niros Mueller writes.
Hella redactions, Bryants Barr notes.
Were going to block out everything except the words No and collusion,' the president brags on Twitter.
