@Nadja72638243 @JoyceWhiteVance @MKWilson_603 Yea weissman should have had you on the staff. He just needed one more far left loon on his staff and he would have succeeded.

@JoyceWhiteVance @MKWilson_603 It was sort of a farce, because he forgot to investigate some back channels to Russia. Steve Bannon - Hilarion Alfeyev George Papadopoulos - Panos Kammenos The investigation was a sham, because nobody was allowed to talk about the 5 eye surveillance of the Greek government.

Seven years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

@SusanKBradford @JoyceWhiteVance @JoanneCangal You don’t need to be close to power

@JoyceWhiteVance @JoanneCangal "statement signed by over 1,000 former federal prosecutors, including me, concluded that any other person who engaged in the obstructive conduct attributed to Trump would have been indicted". @dojalumni/statement-by-former-federal-prosecutors-8ab7691c2aa1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@dojalumni/sta…

@ArnoldZiffell9 @JoyceWhiteVance Because he ruined lives on something they knew was a hoax before it started.

@JoyceWhiteVance What's crazy is that Trump and his cronies said the Mueller report exonerated Trump...then why did they hate him so much? Seems like exonerating him should have made them grateful to him.

@JoyceWhiteVance 100% a hoax and you know it

@davidaxelrod While you’re a fraud I agree with this

If we had an independent oversight agency--like say a Securities and Exchnage Commission--I'd bet they'd look into this!

@ColMoeDavis A plumber worth 50 million

A plumber with an associates degree with zero military or national security experience … America is a joke.

Ladies and Gentlemen Welcome to Round 1 of #HackMadness presented by @RuthlessPodcast

@QuinHillyer Good lord

He literally said he "understood" why someone nearly killed a Senate Republican colleague, and refused to apologize. Yet all his fellow GOPers voted to confirm him. They can NEVER complain about political violence atgain. nationalreview.com/news/senate-co…

@JenniferEValent @brithume If you believe Russia collusion you’re an idiot

I once had respect for @brithume. He eventually made his way onto a sad list of people I used to think had integrity but have proved me wrong over this very long and discouraging decade. And he continues to reassure that he’ll stay on that list.

@townhallcom lol

Kara Swisher says she’ll LEAVE CNN if Paramount takes over: “They have no interest in journalism. I refuse to work an organization that doesn't respect journalists.”

@Citizen54S @brithume The entire special counsel was to charge obstruction. There was no Russia collusion and they knew it before he was appointed.

@brithume When you read the Mueller (both volumes), at what point did you conclude "phony scandal"? Was it after evidence of obstruction #10? Or when you read that the investigation "does not conclude that the President committed a crime"; however, "it also does not exonerate him."

Quote: "Mueller’s family didn’t deserve the president’s grave dancing. None of Trump’s many enemies do. But Trump also didn’t deserve Russiagate. Nearly a decade after that phony scandal, our republic is still trying to recover." thefp.com/p/robert-muell…

@CairoTiger @brithume lol yea that’s not true…

@brithume Mueller's report wasn't phony. If you read it, you understood first and foremost that the only reason prosecutions didn't stem from it was that the bad actors were in Russia. Trump owes Mueller his 1st term. If he didn't go public with the HRC emails, Trump would have lost.

@UnimpressedTX Michelle don’t be stupid

His campaign had over 140+ campaign contacts with a hostile foreign power later proven to be interfering in our elections. That investigation wasn't just deserved it was hard earned. More Rs would have demanded same of any Dem that did the same.

@Meyer_HM @AndrewCMcCarthy @bdomenech You think they did their own intelligence assessment or relied on the cia? The one the Brennan did?

@AndrewCMcCarthy @bdomenech And what about the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee repor? nytimes.com/2020/08/18/us/…

Fact: I relentlessly rebuked the Russiagate probe, beginning before Mueller's appointment - a response to @bdomenech - nationalreview.com/2026/03/fact-i…

@AndrewCMcCarthy And Mueller sullied his reputation by not shutting it down and reigning in the Weismann’s. Trump is a bad human but he has every right to be mad at Mueller.

@JV_PITT @cabsav456 Haha?

@JV_PITT @cabsav456 Before it was published, the Steele dossier was shared with several prominent U.S. media outlets and journalists starting in late summer and fall of 2016. According to court filings and reports,

Crossfire Hurricane opened July 31, 2016, based solely on the tip from Australian officials about George Papadopoulos claiming Russia had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. The FBI didn't receive the Steele reports until weeks later. The Crossfire Hurricane team got them Sept 19, 2016. This doesn't deny the probe had serious flaws. It did. Especially the Carter Page FISA warrant applications, where the dossier played a central role and the IG identified 17 major errors/omissions. But saying the probe "in large part depended" on the dossier is inaccurate per the IG report (direct quote: "Steele's reports played no role in the Crossfire Hurricane opening"). Your argument conflates that with the entire FBI investigation being based on the dossier, which it 100% wasn't. You then take it even further to claim that Mueller's probe (which continued the existing investigation after Comey's firing) was therefore built on false pretenses. This is flawed logic. The mix-up seems to be conflating the dossier's problematic use in the specific Page FISA warrants with the probe's overall origins/scope. This was obviously done on purpose by influencers and Trump, but the facts prove otherwise. And again, Russian interference was real & sweeping. Mueller, Senate Intel, IC assessments all confirm it (not debatable). Mueller wasn't predicated on the dossier or false pretenses. It stemmed from the Papadopoulos tip & expanded from there.

@ScottMStedman This is Dumb

Russiagate was a phony scandal* *if you ignore Trump’s inner circle secretly meeting with a Russian lawyer promising dirt on Clinton, Trump’s campaign chairman sharing internal data with a Russian spy, another Russian spy infiltrating the NRA, a now indicted Russian government asset providing campaign advice, Trump secretly trying to build a Trump Tower Moscow, a Trump aide flying to Moscow and secretly meeting with a senior Russian oil/gas executive and government officials, multiple businessmen in Russia claiming the Kremlin had sexual dirt on Trump, a European professor with Kremlin ties telling a Trump aide Russia had emails on Clinton before their release, an Israeli social media manipulation expert who was working for the same oligarch to which Trump’s campaign chairman owned millions, pitching Trump Jr and Erik Prince on a plan to influence social media and

@NotHoodlum lol nope

So Trump wants Obama’s deal back, except with his name on it. Got it.

@KickChampz @MacFarlaneNews @MeidasTouch That’s how long it took him to fall…
