Shortly after Attorney General William Barr released the full redacted Mueller report on Thursday, April 18, Trump Campaign Manager Brad Parscale demanded an investigation of the “liars who instigated this sham investigation into President Trump.”
“President Trump has been fully and completely exonerated yet again. Now the tables have turned, and it’s time to investigate the liars who instigated this sham investigation into President Trump, motivated by political retribution and based on no evidence whatsoever,” he said in a statement.
“Now that the collusion and obstruction conspiracy theories have been exposed for the pathetic hoaxes they always were, the Obama-era DOJ and FBI must answer for their misdeeds and the scam that they perpetrated against the American people,” read the statement.

Earlier in the day, Barr re-affirmed that no member of the Trump campaign, or any other American, colluded with Russia to interfere with the 2016 elections.
He made the remarks during a press conference before releasing the Mueller report to the congressional committees and the public.
The Special Counsel “did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities,” Barr said, quoting the Mueller report.
He also said that he and Deputy Attorney Rod Rosenstein determined there was no obstruction of justice case based on the information presented by Mueller.

Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of Republican National Committee (RNC), also asked for the origin of the Mueller probe to be investigated.
“It is now time to get to the bottom of how an investigation based off of fake and partisan information began in the first place. After two years and over $35 million, American taxpayers deserve answers and the integrity of our democratic process depends on ensuring this never happens again,” she stated.
This is a complete & total vindication of @realDonaldTrump.
The only scandal is the Obama admin’s repeated failure to act against Russian cyber meddling.
Instead, they prioritized spying on the Trump campaign & used a phony DNC-funded dossier as justification.

Trump and his legal team declared victory after the Mueller report was released.
“I’m having a good day, too, it’s called ‘no collusion, no obstruction,’” he said while addressing the Wounded Warrior Project Soldier Ride at the White House. “There never was by the way, and there never will be.”
“This should never happen to another president again, this hoax, it should never happen to another president again,” he added.

Many Trump supporters also joined the rally on social media to declare victory.
“Thank you to every Trump supporter who never gave up on him or doubted him. YOU are the champions today,” wrote Bill Mitchell, the host of a conservative talk radio show and one of the pundits on Trump, on Twitter.

‘Failure Among a Group of Leaders There’
During an April 10 hearing before the Senate Appropriations Committee, Barr said that spying on Trump Campaign in 2016 “did occur.”
“I think spying did occur. Yes, I think spying did occur,” he confirmed when Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) asked if he suggested that spying occurred.
He also said that he wants to pull everything together from the various investigations at the Capitol and the DOJ and see if there are any remaining questions to be addressed.
“I haven’t set up a team yet. But I do have in mind having some colleagues to help me pull all this information together and let me know whether there’s some areas that should be looked at,” he stated.
Real obstruction of Justice

Investigate!

Barr clarified that he is not launching an investigation into the FBI, but he thought there was probably “a failure among a group of leaders there.”
Now that we have an actual A.G., as opposed to the complete waste that was Jeff Sessions, perhaps we will see some activity on this. So far A.G. Barr seems willing to do the job honestly and not back down to the Democrats, MSM and the administrative state the way Sessions did. I thoroughly enjoyed his press briefing yesterday. Standing up the MSM’s idiotic line of questioning, while also schooling them in what the law actually is. Refreshing! What a shame the President and the entire country had to endure two years of TDS, because we had a spineless fool by the name of Sessions hiding under his desk the entire time.
A bunch of stupid people thought they would hurt and they were wrong I want to see them all get fired I or be dropped from my USA government they are soooo ignorant and have no business in Washington at all
The report is in: no collusion. But we knew that! That won’t stop Nadler and his bunch from trying to reopen the investigation. What…Mueller didn’t do a thorough job?
I can’t wait to see the dems squirm in paroxysms of rage as AG Barr follows the line of questioning that should have been pursued 2 years ago. Schiff’s claims of having “real evidence” of President Trump’s collusion should be the first to be tested: SUBPOENA THAT EVIDENCE!!
Nail them, so the hearings are completed just before the 2020 election.
This information has already been presented and it is well know that terrorist actions have been taken from Congress, the justice department as a whole and all left Leaders of the Federal Government and it should get moving very quickly to arrest many of the past leaders and the present for treason and they should be tried and if convicted hung till death
$35,000,000/400 pages = $87,500 per page.
It is time to clean up and clean house in the the Dept. of Justice, the FBI, and other departments in collusion. I believe that these along with the former President and head of State Dept., should be prosecuted for the horrific evil that they embarked upon and allowed. I also believe that they should be held accountable to citizens for the cost of these fictitious charges and deceitful traitorous acts. May the federal courts and civil courts proceed in prosecuting. Others in authority should know that this is not some game they can play, that there are consequences and that NO ONE, AND ESPECIALLY THOSE IN OFFICE, ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW.
There should be an investigation into to the evidence provided that started this with wrong doers paying the appropriate penalty. I would also like to see the President hold a “YOU’ER FIRED!!” Rally . Let’s clean house. The Left would go completely insane. It can’t be obstruction now.
While i believe Trump was basically doing the same thing the Democrats did, only to a lesser degree, I also believe there is a very strong component of the Democratic party, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who supported and governed the Trump attack. He’s not a politician, they are. They know all the inside tricks and made up several of their own. It is well know, even in less prominent states, of the shadow government being run by Obama and Clinton. Our attention need to be turned to these traitors and put them behind bars where they belong.
In my estimation The Democrat Party has bitten off more than it can chew and now more than ever needs bi-partisanship to keep it going smoothly.. Unfortunately this cannot be done on a one-way street particularly since the Democrats are far from worthy of anything remotely associated with flattery.. We must keep things real. What’s destroying Democrats is their premise of selflessness in humanitarian issues which may all have begun with Civil Rights, escalating to abortion, immigration, and gay rights. All this puts them way over budget (emotionally, culturally, psychologically) and they cannot hide the fact that in-fighting is a major problem over-extending themselves to including suggestions that are not humanly possible. That is because of the “one-size-fits-all” ideology surrounding their views on Equality.. Plurality in egalitarian issues is being totally neglected on simplistic grounds encouraging an uncomfortable and claustrophobic regimentation that no one can sincerely call their own. This has led Democrats to conduct themselves in such a way that paranoia is considered a healthy phenomenon to avoid the incessant “rip offs” which have exploded from within and pervade every stratum of our society.. This intensifies the suggestion of a strictly predatory culture where individual citizens are preyed upon by industry, charlatans, and swindlers.. imagination overwhelms intellect so opinions become totally obscured as to comprehension and motive. In some ways it would be ideal to treat the whole issue as spoiled brats who need to be told “no” and to “toe the line”.. That’s probably too insulting to become a political platform but in addition to investigations conservative culture must include this potentially inimical and violent aspect of day-to-day living. Democrats stand to become very unpopular and I think they will eventually metamorphose into another party altogether since the way things stand now they seem to be experiencing a fossilization of as a political partner or expedient as if in suspended animation or inertia.. out of touch out of reach.. almost nonsensical to talk to .. On a friendly level they hear what they want to hear so there is no making plans, fathoming ideas or opinions. their minds in such a situation are fixated on flattery and that’s all they hear if it means auditory hallucination and this is fact…
The Congressional Left Wing will NEVER give up. They hate Trump so much for Liary’s loss they don’t care how much more money is wasted (since it isn’t THEIR money, after all). Those same Democrats will continue to beat this dead horse for the next 2 years. They may just as well, as they don’t have anything else to offer the electorate…….
I agree with the Trump campaign position. Lets find out who set these shenanigans into motion, and kept it going. Everybody knew very early on that it was the Hillary campaign and its legal firm who done it! Also, all ‘process crimes’ must be dropped, no matter what. After all even one of the judges involved noted that the charges levied were simply to spook/get the Trump Campaign. From Business Insider: “May 04, 2018 · A federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia, expressed deep skepticism Friday about the validity of one of the indictments against Paul Manafort,…”.
And get er done ..if thy can try to railroad you mr president thy will us as well
