Republicans Scream No Collusion And Mueller Looks Them In The Eye And Shoots Them Down

Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) lied and said Mueller found no collusion. The former special counsel immediately knocked down his lie.

Mueller replied in his own opening statement:

Mueller destroys the Republican claim of no collusion minutes after they say it at #MuellerHearing pic.twitter.com/TIBu1Hyi74

Mueller said, “First, our investigation found that the Russian government interfered in our election in sweeping and systematic fashion. Second, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government in its election interference activities. We did not address collusion which is not a legal term, rather, we focused on whether the evidence was sufficient to charge any member on the campaign taking part in a criminal conspiracy.”

Collusion is not a legal term. Mueller never investigated collusion, and he never cleared Trump of collusion. This hearing is already looking like a very bad day for Donald Trump, and the Republican Party.

Democrats are using Mueller and the report to lay the foundation for impeachment, while Republicans are avoiding the report at all costs and are sticking to their talking points to spin the report.
