Trump: Russia probe 'MUST END NOW!'

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.

Trumps message came just minutes after Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released their final report on Russias 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 Russias election interference, including firing the special counsel Robert Mueller or his supervisor, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

That's standing firmly on your principles.

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.
