President Donald Trump has been calling the Russia probe a witch hunt but now he and his allies are starting to see it as a political opportunity

FILE - In this June 21, 2017, file photo, special counsel Robert Mueller departs after a meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington. Though the special counsel’s findings remain unknown, Trump has grown increasingly confident that the report would produce what he insisted all along _ no clear evidence of a conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign. And the president and his closest advisers are now considering how to weaponize those possible findings.

The top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, said on the House floor last week that he had a “news flash” for Democrats who had high hopes that the report would be damaging to Trump. Adam Schiff, chairman of the intelligence committee, also said there’s much more to look into. Mueller, he said, “can’t be doing much of a money laundering investigation” if he hasn’t subpoenaed Deutsche Bank, which has loaned millions of dollars to Trump. Schiff’s panel, along with the House Financial Services Committee, is looking into money laundering and Trump’s foreign financial entanglements.

Trump, of course, has railed relentlessly against the probe, deeming it a baseless “witch hunt,” sometimes in all capital letters, and has said it was based on unfounded allegations perpetrated by his “deep state” enemies in the Department of Justice, as well as his foes in the Democratic Party and the media.

Lol we've been telling you from the beginning you just had tds

It's always been a political opportunity for him. You just have absolutely no idea how he works. His followers know though. RussiaCollusionIsTreason Hillary OpenYourEyesStupid.

Flynn and Rodgers told trump everything he’s known since day 1 we have it all Q+

Shem_Infinite Dun Dun Dunnnnnnn

You have NO idea what's been going on...or what's coming, AP. That makes all of this so much fun.

It always a witchhunt and it always was a guaranteed political opportunity.

So it was supposed to end him, but now... Nice to see Karma in action.

well, you clowns are part of who got us here. You could have asked one of your 'journalists' to try his hand at original reearch and reporting, but nope. your cred is in ruins, and it is most certainly all on you.

Bill Clinton impeachment and Benghazi were worse

And why the heck not, fools? The MSM FakeNews and leftist DNC has been doing it for over 2 years while trying to create a treasonous coup! Give us all a flipping break from this crazy propaganda!

I wouldn't worry about Mueller. It's the southern district that's going to get him!

Sir, i was told there would be a pee pee tape! i want to speak to you manager at once!

Hahahaha.. isn’t that what the democrats have been doing for over two years?🤔

Pretty amazing how the AP still can't bring itself to report on the real story and what's going to happen after Mueller's report is delivered. Trump will declassify how JohnBrennan and his cohorts created this investigation as a soft coup against Trump. Dwarfs Watergate!

RightHookUSA The whole thing has been a witch Hunt based on politics from the DNC side mainly! They are investigating the work people but it's more like covering up the crimes they committed

Pounce...seize...weaponize. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

aaronjmate You mean a witch hunt? Which you supported by the way AP. It would not have taken much effort to debunk it. You chose not to.

aaronjmate He has seen it as a political opportunity from day 1 and I even suspect he helped fuel it.

We knew this was a set up by unhappy Democrats and their bureaucratic friends in powerful places.

Any one with a brain saw this was a made up HOAX by DUMBocrats trying to aide Hillary in avoiding jail time- BUT it is all unraveling quickly and her own stupidity should now insure jail time- yes this helps Trump.

Rational people have been calling it a political coup and witch hunt. The facts back it up. The media is scrambling to justify 2.5 years of lying.

Prepare to be . . . uh, whatever the opposite of 'amazed!' is.

aaronjmate You're being mentally conditioned & taught to NOT want to see Mueller's report. Do Dem's really want a detailed report about the NO COLLUSION that happened? A long read in a leather cover that shows exactly how they wasted time and resources in a Benghazi-like gotcha campaign!

Congrats, DeepState

Media Headlines in 1 month: “Republicans pounce on the results of Mueller report, which raises the question, is Mueller a Putin puppet?”

Why wouldn’t anyone use an investigation that failed to produce anything criminal to their advantage? Mueller was about Russia and proved no collusion existed.

aaronjmate RussiaGate was bullshit, the Dems handed the Repubs ANOTHER gift of credibility.. SpeakerPelosi is only helping Trump.

Shem_Infinite But mehhhh Mueller is gonna take Trump down mehhhhh

One would think after nevertrump media colluded to create fakenews term and apply it to reporting favorable to Trump only to see him outmaneuver them and turn the tables on it, that it would have learned its lesson. But some people choose the hard way.

Give it up FAKE NEWS. WE’VE KNOWN ALL ALONG

America will soon hold leftist media accountable for deceiving the people for over two years. EnemyOfThePeople

Mueller has been compromised. He is a Russian agent on Putin’s payroll.

Lol I knew this day would finally come...

This might be the most ignorant post by a MSM today, and that's quite a task. What would you call this Dem driven coup? FakeDossier DemCollusion

And promoted the witch hunt to its readers for years! FakeNewsMedia

“Trump and his advisers are considering how to weaponize those possible findings for the 2020 race...” Obama and Democrats tried to overturn the 2016 election! This is how you describe POTUS reaction? APBias WitchHunt ObamaSpyScandal

Try to keep up

Welcome to the party!

A political opportunity? What a horrible take

Uh, because it was a witch hunt and he was right. He has every right to use this against the swamp.

aaronjmate “Republicans Pounce” .... yawn

The Russia probe appears to be a failed politically created opportunity.

Journalist Ted Coppell, WaPo & NYTimes are trying to take down President Trump.

sadly Democrats are gasping for their last breath of everything Russians meanwhile our FBI/DOJ has lost all credibility courtesy of Obama’s corrupt justice department covering up for Hillary and her DNC cronies with help from liberal mainstream media

mcnabb_dave RUSSIAGATE IS A HOAX

The left started this bullshit. Trump is going to finish it. 😳

Who writes this

Pouncing

Shifting narratives by the fake news media.

JonLemire All this does not matter if those who want to vote to remove trump, VOTE!

Senseless Nobody knows what Mueller have on Trump

As Trump and his allies know the 'witch' was Hillary Clinton, who sold out America to Putin. UraniumOne

Over 30 indicted, more to come. Not a witch hunt.

Yep, grab it before the public gets the truth, edit everything that is confirmation, then release the witch hunt files :-( true Justice for Americans !!

All you Lefty's better be prepared for the bomb to drop that you've been talking about but it's not going to be about Trump it's going to be about all the collusion on the other side! Mountains of evidence and corruption MSM refuses to report! Dem bomb shell blowing up in face

I'll help the dysfunctional regarding the Mueller report. These are things already known. 1. Obstruction of Justice - multiple counts 2. Conspiracy against America - multiple counts 3. Tax fraud - multiple counts 4. Campaign finance violations - multiple counts

Molecular playgrounds ... bring on the elements

'Trump and his advisers are considering how to weaponize those possible findings for the 2020 race' Good. He will be fully vindicated and will destroy any chance of a Democratic victory in 2020. MAGA Trump2020

Of course Trump is. Because Democrats and the deep state overplayed their hand. It was and is a witch-hunt

Why not? CNN DNC have been using it politically from day one. Now that it is being proven to be fake, you want Trump to back down? For once needs to do some unbiased journalism and report the facts. We know has a copy of the unredacted FISA. When did you receive it?

Trump was never smart enough to collude with Russia. But it’s becoming abundantly clear that Russia is attacking western democracy, which was the whole point of the investigation.

Oh that clever Trumpses, huh AP. Now that the Russia probe is evaporating AP and the sore losers are left with ... nothing ... nothing for all their rabble rousing, cryin', lying and scheming. Nothing. And the Trumpses gets reelected, my precious ... *gollum!*

So they are pouncing?

No shit, Sherlock!!! I've said in other places for nearly a year that Mr Mueller needs to wrap it up before the next election cycle or it will politically become just another vindictive inquiry. Clearly, americans are not terribly bright.

A opportunity that will not work. When the facts are presented a lot of his followers will turn! I am not talking circumstantial, hard facts!

An opportunity for what? Incarceration?

That was more of self-affirmation where you sit there in the dark drinking scotch thinking about all of the shit you've done over the last 40 years and what Mueller could possibly have on you. Finish the glass, pour, ponder.

If they truly think that then why are they trying to discredit it and bury it? Not buying this nonsense

Maybe if the AP did their journalistic duties, they wouldn't sound so oblivious to the gross overreach and numerous conflicts of the Special Counsel. WitchHunt

When in Rome.....

The MSM is going MELT over this nothingburger. Starting with you

If the Mueller probe fails to prove Russia collusion, Trump will have been right all along: Bob Mueller is not to be trusted.

Going to be so entertaining watching Trump take the DemocRats dishonesty and cowardly attempted coup and shove it right down their lying throats. Open wide and say ahh Deep State. Don’t worry; it will only hurt for a minute.

I guess anything is believable when you're delusional.

Yep. Witch hunt

Well that's ... delusional. So on par for the course of flaming dumpsters.

It's going to bite them in the ass so hard 😂

🙄🙄🙄🙄 I hate them 🤮🤮🤬🤬🧐

All for naught

And because it WAS a witch hunt!

Trump will not be running in 2020. Robert Mueller will list some of the reasons why.
