The Mueller report is clearly on President Donald Trump’s mind, and though he said just a couple of weeks ago that he didn’t mind if the entire document be released to the public, it seems as if he’s changed his mind.
Bright and early Monday morning, Trump took to Twitter and began railing against letting the report see the light of day, arguing that since the Russia investigation had been a “hoax,” no one needed to see what Special Counsel Robert Mueller found over the past two years:
“The reason the whole process seems so politicized is that Democrats made up this complete lie about Collusion ….and none of it happened.” Charles Hurt. The Russian Hoax never happened, it was a fraud on the American people!

“Jerry Nadler is not entitled to this information. He is doing this to get it to the Democrat 2020 nominee.” @KatiePavlich

Here’s the problem with Trump’s factually-challenged assertions:
- If the “Russian Hoax” never happened, doesn’t it stand to reason that Trump would want the Mueller report to be shared with everyone?
- Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, certainly is entitled to the full report. Keep in mind Nadler’s committee is where impeachment would begin.
There was lots of pushback on social media to the president’s angry, panicked tweets:
If it is a lie, you would think that the President, who, by the way, has lied 9000+ times, would want to release the Mueller report in order to PROVE these lies.

None of it happened…except for the parts we saw in plain sight. If not overt conspiracy, then useful idiot.

Cool story, bro. Release the report if it exonerates you.

It’s amazing how you have information that no one else in America has access yet you are so moronic you decide to quote FOX personalities like Katie fucking Pavlich.
