The Mueller report confirms that the Obama administration, without evidence, turned the surveillance powers of the federal government against the presidential campaign of the party out of power. This historic abuse of executive authority was either approved by President Barack Obama or it was not. It’s time for Mr. Obama, who oddly receives few mentions in stories about his government’s spying on associates of the 2016 Trump campaign, to say what he knew and did not know about the targeting of his party’s opponents. If he was briefed, for example, on plans by the Justice Department to seek wiretaps on...

Special Counsel Robert Mueller just won't go home — and neither will CNN. Reporters — namely the so-called CNN stakeout team — have spent months loitering around Mueller's office, hoping to catch a glimpse of the mysterious man and his even more mysterious investigation into the Trump campaign's conduct surrounding Russian election interference. Yet even though the whole world knows Mueller's job is pretty much wrapped, the CNN stakeout team seemingly hasn't gotten the message.

White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday that media figures and Democrats who accused President Trump of working with Russia were guilty of treason — and could face the death penalty. “They are literally, the media and Democrats have called the president an agent of a foreign government. That is an accusation equal to treason, which is punishable by death in this country,” she said on NBC’s “Today” show.

Full title: John Brennan Tries to Explain: It's Not My Fault I Called Trump a Russian Traitor, I Got Bad Information Tweets and Videos at link. Former CIA Director John Brennan is doing his best to explain why he perpetuated a hoax about collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia for the past two years. He isn't doing a very good job, however.

It is bizarre, however, to spend two years insisting collusion is not a crime and then turn around and call the absence of crimes proof that there was no collusion. Of course Trump colluded with Russia. He literally went on camera and asked Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails, promising that Russia would be rewarded by the American media, and Russia responded to this request by attempting a hack to steal Clinton’s emails that very day. Trump’s campaign aides repeatedly welcomed and sought out Russian assistance. His campaign manager passed on 75 pages of intricate polling data to a Russian...

Exoneration on obstruction too! The attorney general quotes the special counsel's report: The Special Counsel’s report states that "“while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." (Emphasis supplied) In this that half of the investigation in which the special counsel was to act not as an investigator determining whether foreign interference in our election occurred with the "coordination" of the president or his associates, the special counsel was charged to act as a prosecutor to pursue any crime of obstruction of justice. A prosecutor does not behave like a clone...

A heckler called House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) a “loser” during a Sunday evening press conference in New York City.

by Jenn CarterFired FBI Director James Comey fired off a cryptic tweet Sunday evening after Attorney General Bill Barr confirmed that Special Counsel Robert Mueller found zero evidence that Donald Trump’s camp conspired with Russia during the 2016 election. But Comey seemed to forget that -- with the hoax he helped to start now lying in an ash heap -- he has a LOT to answer for, legally. Lindsey Graham helpfully reminded him. Comey posted a photo of himself in the deep woods. “So many questions,” he captioned it. So many questions? It was Comey who set this whole fake...

(Washington, DC) — Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement in response to the Muller special counsel report summary made public by Attorney General Barr today: The long, national nightmare is over and President Trump has been vindicated. The corruptly-created and constitutionally abusive Mueller investigation failed to find any evidence to support the big lie that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government. We’re pleased that AG Barr rejected Mueller’s attempt to smear President Trump with obstruction of justice innuendo by concluding that no such charges could be credibly sustained. Frankly, Mueller never had a valid basis...

Full Title: After Robert Mueller Issues His Report, the Democrats Who Waited Two Years for This Moment Stare Into the Abyss For those who had become convinced that the Mueller report would be the silver bullet that would finally vanquish President Trump, this must be the equivalent of finding charcoal in their Christmas stocking. To be sure, some Democrats are clinging to the hope that something else will emerge even as they foolishly double down on the very report that just cleared Trump. Presidential candidates are demanding the release of the full report. House Judiciary Chair Jerrold Nadler says he...

Rep. Al Green, the Texas Democrat who has pushed to impeach President Trump every year that the commander-in-chief has been in office, said Sunday that "impeachment is not dead," despite findings from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe showing the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia. The congressman tweeted that Mueller's report, which was submitted on Friday and the key findings of which were released Sunday, "did NOT investigate bigotry emanating from the Presidency harming our country." He continued: "The findings do NOT negate the President’s bigotry. As long as bigotry influences the President’s policies, I will continue to seek...

This hoax ruined a hero, a veteran, a leader who made administrative mistakes and was baited into misleading political activist FBI and DOJ officials. President Trump I call on you to pardon this hero right now. Get General Flynn back into your administration where you can count on him to have integrity, loyalty and most of all to help you MAGA. General Flynn I salute you sir and apologize that our nation has become so corrupt and disgusting that our leaders are perfectly ok with destroying anyone even to the point of outright conspiracy to maintain their power. I am...

Despite Special Counsel Robert Mueller finding no evidence of Russian collusion by the Trump campaign in his now-closed investigation, members of Connecticut’s all-Democrat congressional delegation say they are not fully convinced that there was no wrongdoing by the president. Sen. Richard Blumenthal is not backing away from his declaration on MSNBC Thursday that “there are indictments in this president’s future” — even though Mueller recommended no further indictments as part of his 22-month probe. The vociferous Trump critic and frequent target of the president’s Twitter barbs called on the Justice Department Sunday to release the full Mueller report, saying that...

Perhaps the revelation of the long-awaited Robert Mueller report is a good time for the mainstream media in general, and Politico in particular, to finally retire that hackneyed meme, "Republicans pounced." For at least a year that worn out term has been used whenever Republicans have responded to erroneous Democrat or liberal positions. It didn't matter how much in the wrong the Democrats were, if Republicans offered any kind of reply or correction, it was often translated by the MSM as "Republicans pounced." The latest (and can we hope, last) instance has come with the release of the Mueller report in...

WASHINGTON — For President Trump, it may have been the best day of his tenure so far. The darkest, most ominous cloud hanging over his presidency was all but lifted on Sunday with the release of the special counsel’s conclusions, which undercut the threat of impeachment and provided him with a powerful boost for the final 22 months of his term. There are still other clouds overhead and no one outside the Justice Department has actually read the report by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, which may yet disclose damning information if made public. But the end of...

by Parker SimpsonRobert Mueller’s Special Counsel is now over, and at long last, we discovered (to the dismay of MSNBC and CNN) that there was no collusion after all. It’ll be amusing to see how the true believers react to their world for the past two years collapsing in. Inevitably some faction of the collusion crazies will claim that Trump sabotaged the report, and I’ve even seen one commentator speculate that “Vladimir Putin got to Mueller.” No word then on why Putin did nothing to prevent a few dozen Russians from being indicted by Mueller (for charges unconnected to the...

Former FBI Director James Comey seemingly responded Sunday on Twitter to the release of key findings from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation -- saying he had questions. "So many questions," Comey tweeted, alongside a photo of himself in a forest, looking upwards while surrounded by tall trees. Mueller was appointed special counsel of the Russia probe shortly after President Trump had fired Comey in May 2017. Hours before Comey's tweet, Attorney General William Barr released a four-page letter detailing what he called the "principal conclusions" of Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between President Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia.

Former Obama administration FBI Director James Comey was a protagonist in the investigation of the Trump campaign and the subsequent effort to undermine Trump from inside the Trump administration. In the service of his efforts he put the Clinton campaign’s Steele Dossier to use both before and after the election. It is the biggest political scandal in American political history. Nothing else comes close. On his way out the door he leaked confidential memos to the New York Times via a Columbia Law School buddy in the hope that doing so would engineer the appointment of a Special Counsel. He...

This thing never had a time line to meet. It looked like it was going to last in to 2020.Why did he stop now?Does he need to be investigated and found guilty of his crimes?
