MUELLER REPORT SUMMARY RELEASED: Trump is doing his happy dance

Attorney General William Barr has finally released the "principal conclusions" of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's completed Russia probe in a four-page letter to Capitol Hill lawmakers.

The letter stated definitively that Mueller did not establish evidence that Trump's team had conspired with Russia nor coordinated with Russia.

"The special counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its effort" to interfere with the 2016 presidential election, according to Mueller's report.

Barr said Mueller's team had "thoroughly" investigated allegations that Trump's team sought to conspire with Russians or obstruct investigators. The probe employed about 40 FBI agents, executing hundreds of search warrants, 19 lawyers, mostly Democrats, and the probe interviewed about 500 witnesses.

Barr's disclosure was a climax following the 22-month investigation that ensnared six former Trump advisers and associates -- but resulted in no indictments related to collusion with Russia.

The Democrats, some of whom beat their dogs, punched their boyfriends or partook in bouts of trichotillomania, vowed that this will not be the end of it. Just because they praised Mueller and his unwavering commitment to the truth when the probe into Russian collusion with the Trump campaign began, is no reason to continue believing in things they said in the past.

On Sunday Democrats vowed to press on with other investigations, and members of both parties continued to push for the public release of as much of the Mueller report as possible, unlike the left's refusal to demand transparency in the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama scandals.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that he believed there remained “significant evidence of collusion” linking the Russian government with President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, and if any is found, he will personally call for the president's execution.

Schiff said Democrats might subpoena Mueller, Barr and Putin if the full report is not released.

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY), speaking to "Fox News Sunday," insisted, "So we know a lot of things and maybe it’s not indictable, but we know there was collusion. The question is the degree." [Never trust politicians and liberals, in general, who begin their sentences with 'so.']

Democrat congressional leaders scrambled to respond to the end of the Mueller probe this weekend, holding an emergency conference call and discussing potential next steps with Roseanne Barr [no relation to Bill] and Chelsea Handler.



"It's the end of the beginning but it's not the beginning of the end," Delaware Sen. Chris Coons (D) said, echoing his party's strategy of moving forward on to other investigations, including probes into Trump's financial dealings, his sex life, his children and their financial dealings and sex lives, and whether he ever held hands with Vladimir Putin.

 "Once we get the principal conclusions of the report," Coons added later, "I think it's entirely possible that that will be a good day for the president and his core supporters."

Along those lines, Nadler said that Democrats would continue their efforts to find out anything they can that can affect the outcome of the 2020 election at the expense of taxpayer money. In other words, we have a president and a party trying to find a crime rather than a crime and trying to find the perpetrator.

"The job of Congress is much broader than the job of the special counsel," Nadler said. "The special counsel is looking and can only look for crimes. We have to protect the rule of law, we have to look for abuses of power, we have to look for obstructions of justice, we have to look for corruption in the exercise of power which may not be crimes."

If you have to look for it, the crime is probably not there, but the election is and that's the real point, isn't it?

A former senior law enforcement official told Fox News that Democrats would lack key investigative powers that Mueller had, including the ability to convene grand juries -- and that Nadler's path amounted to trying to criminalize meetings with foreign actors that the special counsel apparently determined were simply not criminal.

“With all the talk of the Democrats intensifying their House investigations," the former official said, it was important to note that "unlike Special Counsel Mueller, Congress and the [DOJ Inspector General] cannot convene grand juries and initiate prosecutions. If Mueller couldn't find collusion or conspiracy with every investigative tool, what do the Democrats expect to accomplish?"

Other than trying to undermine the election.

Some conservatives, meanwhile, say that Democrats should come under increased scrutiny for their contacts with foreign nationals.

Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) hired the firm Fusion GPS, which employed British ex-spy Christopher Steele to produce an anti-Trump dossier that the FBI used to justify the surveillance of a top Trump aide and kickstart the Russia probe.

 This week, text messages exclusively obtained by Fox News revealed that the DOJ apparently raised "repeated" concerns that Steele, whose blatant anti-Trump views are now widely known, was politically biased.

The Trump aide, Carter Page, has not been charged with any wrongdoing, although the FBI initially alleged he had conspired with Russians.

On Sunday, Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan said Sunday that if the Mueller report is disclosed publicly, then all documents relating to it should also be published -- including the complete Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant application to monitor Page.

That ought to make Hillary a bit nervous.

To his credit, President Trump stayed off of Twitter over the weekend until today when he tweeted: "Have a great day," and "Make America Great Again!"

This angered the liberal press who was hoping he'd say something regrettable.


I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

CNN's Lemon scared of former Trump aide Jason Miller

CNN's Don Lemon is kind of a jerk. But isn't that why he's on CNN in the first place?

The evening show host told former Trump aide and paid CNN contributor, Jason Miller, not to come on his show and lie to the American gullible (the only people who evidently watch his show). They were discussing the Robert Mueller investigation into the Russian probe involving the 2016 presidential campaign.

Lemon said it was a privilege to be on CNN, not a right. He cut off Miller's side of the debate because he didn't like what he was hearing and there apparently isn't a First Amendment clause in Miller's CNN contract.

This used to be what dictators did, now it's leftist fake news outlets like CNN. 

Evidently, Lemon isn't bright enough to counter an argument from the right, so he has to use Antifa tactics and shut the speaker up instead of coming up with countering facts to dispute the other guy.

CNN refuses to hear opposing viewpoints and a spokeswoman for Lemon said he refused [aka, too scared] to discuss his Antifa-like behavior.

More Clinton ties on Mueller's team

More Clinton connections have come into the sunlight for members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe as Republican complaints about potential bias inside the office of the investigative team.

The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Mueller investigator Andrew Weissmann, attended Hillary Clinton's election night party at the Javits Center in New York City last November. Weissmann is a former partner at WilmerHale.

You may recall that Weissmann's the guy who in January praised outgoing acting Attorney General Sally Yates, who was fired for refusing to defend President Trump's travel ban. He had also donated thousands of dollars to former President-from-behind Obama's campaign and the DNC.

Now, at least two Mueller investigators' past legal work for Clinton-tied liberals are getting careful scrutiny as Republicans search for signs of bias.

Aaron Zebley, another former WilmerHale partner, and a former chief of staff to Mueller when he served as FBI director, represented Justin Cooper, a significant person in the Hillary Clinton illegal email scandal for which she was never brought to justice. [Just sayin'].

Cooper is the Bill Clinton aide responsible for helping set up the illegal private email server and later admitted to "two instances where he destroyed [Hillary] Clinton's mobile devices by breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer."

He too has escaped justice and is walking the streets of Washington, D.C. in his swamp boots.

Jeannie Rhee, another former partner at WilmerHale, represented Ben Rhodes, an ex-Obama National Security Adviser. She also represented the Clinton Foundation in a 2015 racketeering case. And hey, she even represented Hillary herself, in a lawsuit seeking access to her private emails.

"You've got Donald Trump being prosecuted by Hillary Clinton's fan club--that's inequitable," Rep. Matt Gaetz (R.-Fl.) a member of the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News on Friday. "Many of the members of Mueller's team donated to the Clinton campaign. We have a lot of highly qualified federal prosecutors in the Justice Department and we could have found a bunch of them who didn't donate to either candidate. But that didn't occur, and that's troubling."
