Trump: Russia probe 'MUST END NOW!'

Source: The Hill


BY JORDAN FABIAN - 04/27/18 10:41 AM EDT

President Trump on Friday declared the Russia investigation “MUST END NOW” after congressional Republicans released a report saying his campaign did not collude with Moscow to influence the 2016 presidential election.

-snip-




Trump’s message came just minutes after Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released their final report on Russia’s influence operations in the 2016 election.

It found “no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded, coordinated, or conspired with the Russian government.” But the report does criticize the Trump and Hillary Clinton campaigns for “poor judgment and ill-considered actions” in their dealings with Russia-related figures. Democrats on the Intelligence panel refused to endorse the report, calling the committee's investigation a sham that was biased in favor of Trump.

Critics of the president fear he might use the report to stymie the federal probe into Russia’s election interference, including firing the special counsel Robert Mueller or his supervisor, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Sounds good to me. Pay no attention to the story below.

and put a toadie in his place (Devin Nunes anybody?) who will continually interfere in the investigation and also report everything directly to Herr Trump.

9. Atty. General Sessions said if Rosenstein was fired, he might quit.

Not "would quit' but the virtually worthless threat that he "might quit."

That's standing firmly on your principles.

Just seems like nothing good is going to happen. The Republican traitors in Congress keep getting away with this crap, they give cover to trump and now he can go after DoJ.

Meanwhile the propaganda, trolls, bots, etc. on social media are out of control and I think they really convince a lot of people. Endless praise for Trump, attacking the fake Russia investigation.

It's all so distressing.

handcuffing dozens of people and walking them out to the waiting police cars. It was a great vision. Just remember forty were arrested and sentenced for watergate.
