‘ILLEGAL AND CONFLICTED’: President Trump Says There ‘Should be no Mueller Report’
President Trump doubled-down on his fierce criticism of Robert Mueller’s never-ending Russian-Collusion probe Friday; calling his impending report “illegal and conflicted.”
“So, if there was knowingly & acknowledged to be ‘zero’ crime when the Special Counsel was appointed, and if the appointment was made based on the Fake Dossier (paid for by Crooked Hillary) and now disgraced Andrew McCabe (he & all stated no crime), then the Special Counsel should never have been appointed and there should be no Mueller Report. This was an illegal & conflicted investigation in search of a crime. Russian Collusion was nothing more than an excuse by the Democrats for losing an Election that they thought they were going to win,” Trump tweeted on social media.
