Fox News host Sean Hannity declared that the "witch hunt" against President Trump headed up by special counsel Robert Mueller is "over" in the wake of a memo circulating among lawmakers that reportedly details surveillance abuses by the U.S. government.
In the monologue of his show Thursday night, Hannity said that news of the memo, which has not yet been released publicly, was a major obstacle for Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
"I have a message tonight for the special counsel, Robert Mueller," Hannity said, opening his show. "Your witch hunt is now over. Time to close the doors."
Hannity said Thursday that Fox News' sources point to the alleged abuses committed under the controversial FISA program are "far bigger" than Watergate, the scandal that brought down former President Richard Nixon.
"Our sources are telling us that the abuse of power is far bigger than Watergate," Hannity said. "Remember, Watergate was a third-rate break-in. What we're talking about tonight is the systematic abuse of power, the weaponizing of those powerful tools of intelligence and the shredding of our Fourth Amendment constitutional rights."
Hannity and other Trump supporters have long argued that the Obama administration used FISA warrants to spy on the Trump transition team and the Trump campaign, charges former members of the Obama administration have vehemently denied.
"This is far worse than Watergate. This is an abuse of surveillance and intelligence to win an election. It is a massive abuse of power, and it was all done by just a few people who think and thought they knew better than you about who should be the president of the United States," Hannity said. "It is the biggest national scandal by far in our lifetime."
"The special counsel, Robert Mueller, and his band of Democratic witch hunters never should have been appointed and they need to be disbanded immediately."
Several GOP lawmakers told Fox News earlier Thursday afternoon that the alleged abuses detailed in the four-page memo are "shocking."
“It's troubling. It is shocking,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) told Fox News. “Part of me wishes that I didn't read it because I don’t want to believe that those kinds of things could be happening in this country that I call home and love so much.”
Mueller is NEVER going away until he BANKRUPTS and RUINS EVERYONE that is even remotely connected to Trump!!
This was never a witch hunt. It was a loud, fireworks exploding diversion from focusing on the projectile vomit-level treason and coup that took place over the last 8 years. Everything right now is cover and fraud for horrific illegal, money-making, Constitution undermining activity. Wait and see.
Wanna bet?
Only disagree with one point ... imho .... the span of time is 28 years
I'll take that bet.
I predict Mueller will fold his tents and give Trump a clean bill of health in an attempt to save his and his cronies anuses.
That report spells bad news for the conspirators, of whom there are legion.

btw ... Former President Nixon was a choir boy compared to those four before President Trump. And therein lays why the past four, their minions and the lamestream have determined President Trump has to be destroyed...
"...Sean Hannity..."
Mueller is NEVER going away until he BANKRUPTS and RUINS EVERYONE that is even remotely connected to Trump!!

Mueller’s digging himself his own hole at this point. There is no there there. Indeed, the shoe he thought he could make fit Trump’s foot, actually fits Obozo and Hitlery.
Sean means well be even he knows small things like facts and innocence will not stop the Mueller Jihad.

Time to put Mueller and his dirty band of Clintoonie “lawyers” in the unemployment line. The party is over. They need to find REAL jobs and stop ripping off the American taxpayers. Going after the NRA proves that they are nothing but a bunch of wacked out liberals who don’t want to see America become great again.
If the memo is a fraction of what is hinted, then Mueller better pray he isn’t rounded up as well.
Crickets from the MSM...memo? What memo? Trump had an affair with Stormy, Trump shut down the government because he racist and only poor people get hurt during a shut down says Joe Scarborough.
OK...but I repeat...Mueller is Not going to stop until everyone near Trump is RUINED and BANKRUPTED from Attorney fees!
I'll bet it was also an evidence despoliation exercise - just like how the DOJ can no longer find the subpoenaed clinton/tarmac documents because of a "glitch:.
Jeff Sessions took an extra dose of ignore pills today. I’m betting the nothing comes of this. Whatever the ‘this’ is.
Bread and circuses.
The FISA court is, was, and always will be a JOKE. It is nothing more than a rubber stamp that approves every single request for "surveillance" (read that: SPYING) on the American People and the political enemies of Washington D.C.
It's a complete joke that the FISA court somehow protects us from the very Fourth Amendment abuses the FBI has committed hundreds or thousands of times since its inception.
The FISA court itself was nothing more than window dressing as a "protection" against abuse. It's well past time the curtains were pulled back on this SHAM and those who participated in it held accountable for their crimes.
...and you wonder about Trump testifying before Mueller. All legal eagles are saying Trump should not go near this...but it looks like he will anyway. Why? I think this is the way they put an end to this. Mueller knows about the memo, so does Trump. So Trump testifies and Mueller says.. nope nothing there, shut it down. A seemingly nice closure. There is no other reason for Trump to go to Mueller. If the memo is real, it is the final gavel on this charade.
Mueller will continue down the path he has been headed. He has no choice now. HE simply must finish the job he was hired to do, or go down in flames. Sort of like the jihadi wearing a bomb belt. Kill a few or kill many, either way his job is to kill.
I’ll take that bet. Mueller is a dead man walking based on the crap he did while head of the FBI. They have him dead to rights.
