GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz compares Mueller probe to Jussie Smollett case: 'Two Nigerian men in MAGA hats'

As President Donald Trump and his supporters celebrate the end of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, despite not yet knowing what’s in it, Republican Representative Matt Gaetz appeared to compare the probe to an alleged false assault claim made by actor Jussie Smollett.

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.The report’s delivery marked the end of a nearly two-year investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign. Reports suggested that the filing of the report meant that there would be no further indictments in the probe.

His latest controversial comments appeared to invoke a much-publicized and ongoing legal case. Smollett, an actor on the television show Empire, claimed in January that he was attacked in Chicago by two masked men yelling racial and homophobic slurs and told police that they yelled that he was in “MAGA country,” an apparent reference to Trump’s campaign slogan,"Make America great again."

Why Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin's chickenpox plan is a bad ideaMost doctors believe that deliberately infecting a child with chickenpox is a bad idea. While chickenpox is mild for most children, it can be a dangerous virus for others — and there's no way to know which child will have a serious case, experts say. That still leaves him saner than weepy Rachel Maddow. 👍 It’s child abuse, plain and simple.

Giuliani: We're ‘not expecting’ any more indictments from MuellerAs speculation grows that the Mueller report could drop at any moment, President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani says they’re not expecting further indictments from the Special Counsel. Stephanie Ruhle is joined by her panel of former US attorney Greg Brower, former federal prosecutors Cynthia Alksne and Glenn Kirschner, former Communications Director for the NRCC Matt Gorman, and former Executive Director of the New York State Democratic Party Basil Smikle. C’mon, ...stop dignifying tidbits like this as “news” when EVERYONE KNOWS Giuliani’s sole role is to be Trump’s unreliable, illogical, inconsistent PROPAGANDIST. The belligerent drunk at the end of the bar deserves more coverage than Rudy. What the HELL does Dr. Dementia know about what the skilled Mr. Mueller is going to do? Why would you even make this a NEWS item? Rudy Drooliani? Who cares?! I’m thinking sealed indictments for the younger three.
