A top Democratic lawmaker claimed Wednesday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report shows Moscow “artificially” placed President Trump in the White House -- despite the report finding no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.
The statement came amid a fiery session of the House Judiciary Committee where lawmakers weighed holding Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt for defying a subpoena for the full Mueller report.
“Seventeen different intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia interfered with our election, attacked our democracy for the sole purpose of artificially placing someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., the House Democratic Caucus chairman, said. “They were successful, and that’s also what the Mueller report shows.”
“This is not a politically inspired witch hunt,” he added.
Republicans at the session, meanwhile, expressed their anger at what they described as a politically motivated push by Democrats unhappy at the conclusions of Mueller’s report and worried about efforts to probe the origins of the Russia investigation itself.
“I think it’s all about trying to destroy Bill Barr because Democrats are nervous he’s going to get to the bottom of everything,” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said. “He’s going to find out how and why this investigation started in the first place.”
Mueller’s investigation did not find evidence of collusion between Trump campaign associates and the Russian government, though it detailed "links" between the two.

Nice to see Faux is helping Democrats again
[17 intelligence agencies]
Now I wonder where he might have gotten a phrase like that....?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And it is still not true.
LOL! Democrats have outdone themselves again. You really can’t make this up.
I guess he didn’t get the NY Times Correction. Actually, the NYT is still not correct. It was three hand picked guys by Clapper who did an “assessment” with no available forensics. Why were there no forensics? Because neither Clinton nr the DNC made their servers available for forensic examination.

A White House Memo article on Monday about President Trump’s deflections and denials about Russia referred incorrectly to the source of an intelligence assessment that said Russia orchestrated hacking attacks during last year’s presidential election. The assessment was made by four intelligence agencies — the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency. The assessment was not approved by all 17 organizations in the American intelligence community.
For some reason these people want a shooting war.
Imho.

Is that Louis’ tie he’s a wearin’?
Another mentally ill Democrat.
Like Splenda?
We the people who voted for President Trump are getting sick of the recklessness coming out of the congress. They have sunk to the lowest depths imaginable. This crap needs to be put in check with some indictments or they will not stop.
I thought that none of them had read the report. So, what is he on about?
Mr. Trump, would you please start putting their heros in jail.
Good idea......Trump voters should send Russians thank you cards for "manipulating the election" that gave us Trump.
Projecting the Obozo and they tried to put the Hag in the WH
HJ: Democrat auditioning for late-night comedy gig.
Sorry charlie, until you give us a border, you have no say in voting outcomes. Mexico is on record as being the biggest influence in our elections. They supported Hillary.
Looks like it to me!
The democrats just cannot let go of this Trump-Russia collusion delusion.
They have to keep the lie going to cover for Her Thighness.
