Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigated whether Russia interfered in the 2016 Presidential Election in hopes of electing Donald Trump and whether Trump or anyone in his campaign colluded with the Russians. Trump said that Democrats opened the investigation. He called the Mueller investigation a “witch hunt” and a “hoax,” adding that the special counsel’s final report had exonerated him on whether he had obstructed justice. He said there was no crime and, by definition, no criminals. He said the FBI acted illegally.
None of this is true. None of it.
Trump lied.
As in liar, liar, liar.
Trump did not say that he was — and still is – indebted to Vladimir Putin and Russia for lending him money because the often-bankrupted real estate con man couldn’t get a loan from U.S. banks. Vox said that “Trump’s public affection for Vladimir Putin corresponds with his dependence on Russian investors.”
Time magazine reported that the Mueller investigation led to indictments, convictions, or guilty pleas from 34 people and three companies, including top advisers to Trump and Russian spies and computer hackers with ties to the Kremlin.
