Sorry to interrupt the StH talk… does anyone remember laughter? But, Trump is weighing in on twitter that there should be no Mueller report [https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-says-there-should-be-no-mueller-report/ar-BBUOz8v](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-says-there-should-be-no-mueller-report/ar-BBUOz8v) His basis is that the whole investigation is illegal. Why? 2 reasons 1. When the investigation started, there was no crime! :smack: yanno, in a system in which you are innocent until proven guilty, technically there isn’t a crime until the Conclusion of the investigation. Plus, bare assertion! When the report is released we will finally see all the motives for producing it. 2. He’ treating the Steele dossier as some kind of linchpin to the whole case, and since Hillary paid for it, it is automatically bogus. It is looking like Trump has no real legal defense and instead is going to rely on enough people buying into dumb conspiracy theories to the exclusion of facts. Good luck with that, pal. And if you listen very hard The truth will come to you at last ---

Good luck with that, pal. It is why they have been crying ‘witch hoax’ from the very beginning. Unfortunately, there are too many people who will believe him. If people were smart enough to see the crap that Trump does, then we wouldn’t also be dealing with flat earthers and anti-vaxxers. It is all just a symptom of the larger slide towards ignorance.
