Nicolle Wallace crushed Trump’s latest lies about the Russia investigation with a brutal fact check.

Wallace said on her Deadline: White House MSNBC show, “Here’s what he put out this he typed, much of the bad blood with Russia is caused by the corrupt Russia investigation. Fact check that. The Russia investigation came well after Russia was known to have meddled in the election. A cause for bad blood. That yielded guilty pleas from the former deputy campaign advisor and a charge against his campaign chairman. The tweet continued. Headed up by Democratic loyalists or people who worked for Obama. Fact check, not really, sir. Your attorney general recused himself because he lied to Congress about his contacts with Russians, so your deputy attorney general who you also appointed, Rod Rosenstein, appointed George W. Bush’s FBI director, a guy who was so good Obama changed the law and kept him on. Then the raid on Mr. Cohen’s office, that came from U.S. Attorney’s office from your designated candidate Don Mcgahn’s friend Jeff Berman. The people who worked for Obama, most of those people are gone. You fired Sally Yates, Jim Comey, Andy McCabe and most of the other people who worked in the Obama justice department reassigned. Wrong again. You continued, Mueller is the most conflicted of all. Close to 80% of Americans think he should be allowed to finish his job. And even Rush Limbaugh today warned you against firing him. The tweet ends like this. You conclude, except Rosenstein, who signed FISA and Comey letter, no collusion, so they go crazy. Rosenstein is functioning as any deputy attorney general for the United States of America would function and the only person going crazy is you.”
Trump put out an account of the Russia investigation that was one hundred percent fact-free. Trump was laying the groundwork for the firing of Mueller because it is causing bad blood with Russia. Trump also tried to drum up cause for firing Mueller by claiming that he is conflicted, which is an argument that no one is buying. The claim that the investigation is being run by Democratic loyalists is also no credible. The people at the top of the investigation are Republicans.
Those Republican Senators who think that there is no need for a law to protect Mueller need to start paying attention, because as Nicolle Wallace pointed out in her fact check, Trump is searching for any kind of lie to use to fire Mueller.
