President Donald Trump is apparently trying to push the idea that there should not be a final report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller by claiming that the Russia investigation is just a vast conspiracy against him by the Democrats, FBI, and Department of Justice.
Mueller has been wrapping up his investigation for weeks now and a final report is expected soon, resulting in high anticipation and demands that it be released in full to the public for all to see.
But Trump clearly doesn’t want to see it because he knows it’s not going to be good for him, which is why he launched a conspiracy claim on Friday to discredit the investigation.
It all started while Trump was watching Fox & Friends during his “executive time” when he claimed that former FBI agent Peter Strzok’s recently released congressional testimony somehow reveals “evidence” the FBI, DOJ, and CIA worked with former President Barack Obama to “spy on and take out” then-candidate Trump.
“New evidence that the Obama era team of the FBI, DOJ & CIA were working together to Spy on (and take out) President Trump, all the way back in 2015.” A transcript of Peter Strzok’s testimony is devastating. Hopefully the Mueller Report will be covering this. @OANN @foxandfriends

The problem is that Strzok’s testimony doesn’t reveal anything of the sort and actually squashes the GOP narrative they created by taking Strzok’s quotes out of context.
Trump went on to claim that officials supposedly have “acknowledged” there was “zero crime” committed and accused Hillary Clinton of collusion. Trump then called the Russia probe “illegal” and appears to be laying the groundwork to justify killing the Mueller report.
So, if there was knowingly & acknowledged to be “zero” crime when the Special Counsel was appointed, and if the appointment was made based on the Fake Dossier (paid for by Crooked Hillary) and now disgraced Andrew McCabe (he & all stated no crime), then the Special Counsel…….

….should never have been appointed and there should be no Mueller Report. This was an illegal & conflicted investigation in search of a crime. Russian Collusion was nothing more than an excuse by the Democrats for losing an Election that they thought they were going to win…..

The problem for Trump is that his “Spygate” claims against Obama and the FBI have been repeatedly debunked, even by Republicans.
Furthermore, the FBI opened an investigation because they had probable cause to do so as laid out in FISA warrants that were signed by Republican judges. The investigation was then turned over to a special counsel, and Mueller has uncovered a load of crimes since he took over, resulting in several guilty pleas and the indictment of six Trump associates, including Paul Manafort and Roger Stone.
Trump is panicking and he fears what the final Mueller report will say, and that’s why he is desperately spinning this conspiracy so he can discredit it or excuse burying it after it gets submitted. This is just another Trump scheme that no one except his most devoted supporters are falling for.
