Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has called the Russia probe "case closed." But President Donald Trump is not helping his party move on, instead offering up a lengthy list of grievances on Thursday.
“Two years I've been going through this nonsense and now we have a good report, and now guys like Jerry Nadler, when I fought for many years successfully, I might add, back in New York in Manhattan, he was a Manhattan congressman,” Trump told reporters of the men's past spats. “And I beat him all the time and I come to Washington and now I have to beat him again over nothing. Over nothing. Over a hoax.
Trump also jabbed at the high esteem in which Democrats have held the Mueller report, referring to it playfully as “the Bible” and questioning why Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr had subpoenaed Donald Trump Jr. for follow-up questioning when Mueller had found “no collusion and essentially no obstruction.”
The president was asked whether Mueller should be allowed to testify before Congress, which Trump has waffled on, includingAfter clarifying that he would leave that decision to Attorney General William Barr, Trump launched into a four-minute rant, insisting that despite his decision to invoke executive privilege over the unredacted Mueller report just the day before, there had been nobody “in the history of our country more transparent than me.
There will be a civil war in this country if DEMs try to impeach this President for no reason, and after what we endured for 8 years with Hillary, Obama, and Comey.
DT in his own mind has to be the winner. Loosing $billion showed he was able to loose more than anyone else. See he is 1 somewhere for something.
