Fox News political contributor Karl Rove predicted Thursday that some Democratic politicians would make a "mistake" by using special counsel Robert Mueller's report to continue attacking President Donald Trump and pursuing investigations into his conduct. Rove told Fox News host Dana Perino on "The Daily Briefing" that those items gave Democrats "fodder" to "continue to hammer the president." The report itself did not exonerate Trump on obstruction of justice, but both Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined the report lacked sufficient evidence to level formal charges. Rove also predicted that while some Democrats would try to highlight the obstruction concerns before the 2020 presidential elections, other, "wise" politicians would focus on other issues. Rove said that based on the report, "we're likely to see little impact on the president's numbers and his opposition's numbers."
