Twitter has suddenly suspended an account that had posted a video of themselves laughing at Rachel Maddow crying on air over the conclusion of Robert Mueller’s investigation. The user, Karli Bonne’, had nearly 15,000 followers when her account was removed.

Perhaps no single reaction Friday night to the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation rivaled that of MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews, who was apoplectic, inconsolable, and irate at the notion the Mueller team will not offer any further indictments in hopes of criminal charges concerning Russian collusion. And even his most adored guests couldn’t avoid his scorn. Somewhere along the way, it never occurred to MSNBC that maybe a call should have been placed to Barack Obama to help calm Matthews down. Maybe that would have helped. It was clear that Matthews was having a hard time when...

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow kept it together on Friday night, but just barely. Returning unexpectedly from a fishing trip in Tennessee to broadcast in the wake of news that the newly-released Mueller report will not include an indictment of President Donald Trump, Maddow spent the better part of her Friday night opening segment seemingly on the verge of tears.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered his final report to Attorney General William Barr, marking the official end of the investigation — and with no further indictments on the way. Although it is not yet known what is in the report, and it could still contain information damaging to the administration, the revelation that there will be no new indictments suggests that the Russia collusion theory is a bust. Yet since the summer of 2016, there were countless pushers of the narrative that President Trump’s campaign had colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election, specifically by conspiring with Russia to...

FULL TITLE: WATCH: Tucker Carlson Says President Trump Should Pardon Roger Stone, ‘Let’s Hope it Comes Very Soon’ On Friday evening, after Robert Mueller’s investigation finally reached a conclusion without any more indictments, Tucker Carlson urged President Donald Trump to pardon Roger Stone “for a process crime that wouldn’t have arisen without this investigation.” “Stone is still looking at life in prison. Where is Roger Stone’s pardon? His pardon from the president. Let’s hope it comes very soon,” Carlson said.

NBC intelligence and national security analyst Ken Dilanian said Friday night just because there wasn't a crime it does not mean there's not a scandal. Dilanian said Trump may have committed "impeachable" offenses "depending on the facts" and what is in the report by special counsel Robert Mueller. However, earlier this year Dilanian reported the Senate Intel Committee probe found no evidence of Russian collusion in the Trump presidential campaign. (snip) MSNBC host Chris Matthews lamented how he is "unsettled" that the Mueller probe did not result in any indictments on Russian collusion. "What if the Mueller report finds that...

Fox News’s Chris Wallace sided with Democrats during a panel discussion that included Dana Perino, Juan Williams, and host Bret Baier. The panel agreed that Mueller’s stellar reputation is intact and there were no leaks. But there were leaks, and everything that did leak was meant to make the President look bad. Although, we don’t know where the leaks came from or if the media just out and out lied. As for his stellar reputation, he spent nearly $30 million, hired Democrats and known Trump haters on his team, and kept the investigation going for two years. This investigation which...

I suppose it’s true that “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” as the Washington Post’s slogan says. But journalism may also die, by morphing into forms that can no longer be described as journalism. Journalism may come to mean a crooked scandal sheet, or high-minded propaganda. Sometimes squalor and self-righteousness are equally disreputable. The Post’s apothegm, somehow off-kilter, with its alliteration and self-importance, was a purposeful bit of branding, designed to claim high ground and to poke a thumb in President Trump’s eye every morning. Such partisan intent detracts from the slogan’s claim to universality. The self-serving implication—the notion that, against the...

Roger Stone associate Jerome Corsi has said that the end of special counsel Robert Mueller' investigation is a personal vindication, after he refused to take a plea deal under threat of prosecution.With a senior Justice Department official saying that Mueller's final report submitted on Friday does not recommend further indictments, author and conspiracy theorist Corsi appears to be off the hook. 'I feel vindicated. They offered me a plea deal which I thought was fraudulent,' Corsi said in a statement to Fox News.In November, Corsi said he had refused to plead guilty to one count of perjury because he did not...

Finally, we have white smoke from the Justice Department chimney! Habemus Muelleri Reportam! But what’s in it? Right now the speculation is the report has so little red meat that vegans could swallow it. Mueller? Mueller? Anyone? But this is just a Deep State distraction from how pathetic the Democratic 2020 presidential field is. Has there ever been a more perfect Democratic candidate than Beto? He is the ultimate self-referential candidate, the apotheosis of modern liberalism whose premises lead to the goal of every man being his own tyrant, bending reality to his will. I can’t get enough of this...

Democrats in Congress will continue probing allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election — even after Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation concluded with no new indictments. House committee leaders will update members on their plans in a 3:00 pm conference call today, featuring a report from Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), Politico reported.

The Mueller Report is in. Turns out all along it was two Nigerian men in #MAGA hats who hacked the DNC & rode shirtless on horseback w Putin to mar-a-lago.

675 days$25.2 million34 indictments (26 against Russian Nationals)Total collusion indictments: 0 As Glenn Greenwald – hardly a supporter of President Trump - has pointed out, had there been any there there it would have been acted on long ago.It appears that the only crime the Mueller team has been able to prove President Trump is guilty of was winning an election that he wasn’t supposed to. So once again there will be no fireworks, no popping of champagne corks and no victory party in the Democratic camp tonight. The last time they had so much rain on their celebratory...

Our increasing acceptance of government corruption and deceit will continue to erode our national integrity and, eventually, our freedom And so, the Mueller Investigation into the alleged Trump-Russian Collusion to fix the 2016 general election against Hillary goes the way of similar investigations that have proceeded it. Nowhere. In the relatively recent past, we’ve watched, not in any particular order, Plamegate, Benghazi, the IRS suppression of Tea Party groups, Fast & Furious, Uranium One, and that brief puppet show that accompanied the F.B.I. inquiry into classified documents found on Hillary Clinton’s private server.

A pair of leading Government Accountability Institute researchers has revealed that two former FBI Directors, James Comey and Robert Mueller, took advantage of their government contacts and security clearance to enrich themselves. Seamus Bruner of the GAI, and author of Compromised: How Money and Politics Drive FBI Corruption, has exposed the real reason Comey is paid upwards of $6 million a year by his new employer Lockheed Martin. Together with GAI President Peter Schweizer, Bruner has discovered a trail of lucrative FBI contracts that were funneled from then-director Mueller to Comey's new firm.

Not a Tick-Tock All day long, even before the Mueller news broke, Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge has really been leaning-forward, giving insight into the pending Inspector General report by OIG Michael Horowitz. Herridge is one of those reporters who is careful not to get out in front of her skis. Ms. Herridge is not a book-selling member of the tick-tock community of pundits. We noted earlier how the specific emphasis of Ms. Herridge seemed to indicate the Horowitz report was closer to the surface of completion than previously thought. Immediately after the Mueller news broke (around 5pm EST), Herridge...

“Top Obama-linked lawyer (Gregory B. Craig) on Mueller chopping block, could be first Dem indicted under probe." (BizPac Review, March 19)“Oh well, ho hum,” say many bemused Cuba-watchers, “better late than never.”Because you see, amigos: Gregory Craig’s shenanigans with Manafort and Yanukoych seem like mild mischief compared to his shenanigans on behalf of Bill Clinton, Dan Rather and  Fidel Castro. At the time of these later-named shenanigans, the aforementioned president of the U.S. (Clinton) and the megastar of the U.S. media (Rather) were dutifully and cravenly fulfilling the express wishes of the mass-murdering, terror-sponsoring dictator whose lifelong craving was to nuke...
