Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump was on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, just 36 hours removed from one of the best moments of his presidency: Attorney General Bill Barr announcing -- via a letter to Congress -- that special counsel Robert Mueller did not establish any conspiracy or coordination between the President's 2016 campaign and the Russian government.
And yet, despite that clear political victory, Trump proved old habits die hard. He insisted the investigation, which was begun by the FBI and taken over by Mueller after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, was the result of some sort of targeted effort by high-ranking officials to bring him down. Here's the exchange:
TRUMP: "It went very high up, and it started fairly low, but with instructions from the high up. This should never happen to a president again. We can't allow that to take place." REPORTER: "Do you think it reached the West Wing of the Obama White House?" TRUMP: "I don't want to say that, but I think you know the answer."
As with almost all his conspiracy theories, Trump offered zero proof of his claim, which, if true, would be a massive deal. Think what he is alleging: The outgoing administration somehow targeted the incoming President simply because they disagreed with his policies. That's a HUGE story (if true).
Trump has long harbored -- and promulgated -- the unproven and, to date, fact-free idea that there was (and is) some sort of "deep state" conspiracy against him. "The Deep State and the Left, and their vehicle, the Fake News Media, are going Crazy - & they don't know what to do," Trump tweeted last fall. "The Economy is booming like never before, Jobs are at Historic Highs, soon TWO Supreme Court Justices & maybe Declassification to find Additional Corruption. Wow!"

Imagine that...
So does the majority of the nation...
Freddy to Jason: “Why won’t you die??”
Can’t imagine why, when all those nice Dems were just sincerely concerned... (/sarc)
Chicken Noodle News!
Me to RBG...
There are a few FBI text messages that might be problematic for the cabal in the end.
CNN is a complete lost cause and deserve the fake new moniker.
So the writer of this article would have us believe he is completely oblivious to the Dossier, the numerous texts and memos between FBI agents (Strzok and his mistress FBI agenda), the Ohrs and Fusion GPS, the Nunes Memo, the Grassley Memo, etc, etc, etc.? President Trump himself, as well as countless others, have pointed these things out.
Me to RBG...
Speaking of RBG....is she live, or is she Memorex??
lol
Good Lord how is this woman still standing!!?!
We need an exorcism!
Yep, I believe that and so do most Americans outside the New York/Washington bubbles...
I'm OK with spending two years dragging democrats through the mud to prove our point too... Let justice be done.
The whole world is set up for Trump just to go on being President and dont you worry nuthin about her Cankleness at all. Which is the best that the treasonous bitch could ever hope for, but I hope that Trump doesnt let this sleeping dog get any more rest.
Wow, these guys never tire of lying. They lie, lie, lie and lie without tiring.
In times I have tired of sleeping, eating, drinking, and on very rare times, tired of breathing. Yet they never tire of lying.
It’s a collusion at a minimum.
Including furreiners and Rooskies.
One of Mulehead’s biggest problems with respect to his witch hunt and his final report was the fact the President can declassifying anything he wants. Fisa documents are primary, this will show the entire Mulehead effort was indeed a witch hunt—and Mulehead knew that.
Trump was gaslighted. Its not a conspiracy when they are really out to get you.
It was all a hoax. Chris Cillizza prefers to deny it. That says a great deal more about him than it does about Trump.
WOW! Talk about barking at the moon. This guy must think his readers were born last night.
Think what he is alleging: The outgoing administration somehow targeted the incoming President simply because they disagreed with his policies. That’s a HUGE story (if true).
“That is the story, you effin mook!!!”
