Trump calls for Mueller probe to end following Manafort, Cohen court filings
CNN ^ | Dec. 8. 2018 | Veronica Stracqualursi

Posted on 12/08/2018 2:03:36 PM PST by Innovative

President Donald Trump said Saturday that court filings in the Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen cases showed no collusion between his 2016 presidential campaign and Russia.

"We're very happy with what we're reading because there was no collusion whatsoever," Trump told reporters Saturday at the White House before boarding Marine One for the Army-Navy game in Philadelphia.

Trump told reporters he has not read the court filings, which detail alleged lies Cohen and Manafort told publicly and to investigators.

Yes indeed. It is time to stop this witchhunt, which should never have been started.

The whole “Purpose” of this probe was to determine if President Trump and his campaign told Russia to hack DNC emails, Mueller could have found that out in 5 minutes, doesn’t take 2 years to figure that out..but instead, Mueller is investigating nonsense such as what Trump did with his OWN money to pay off some bimbo, or what Trump did as a real estate mogul..WHO CARES..Mueller has NOTHING this nonsense should have ended last year

The whole purpose was to damage Trump politically and take him down before he can expose Uranium One (which implicates Mueller, Hillary, Bill, Obama, etc.)

Was a ‘kill or be killed’ political mission and Deep State has failed.

Once they shut it down, Trump should release unredacted FISA warrants and pardon Flynn and Manafort immediately.

Manafort was subjected to the coercive interrogation tactics that Dems claim tonloath.

People reach settlements all the time. But, according to Mueller, not if you’re running for president.

“if President Trump and his campaign told Russia to hack DNC emails”

Why would that be bad if he did?

It revealed she was violating the Espionage Act.

Isn’t it a good thing to reveal criminal activity?

The Commie media did everything in their power to elect Hillary Clinton..if she had won, America would have become Communist, its what the commie left has always wanted..and they were SO close to getting that, and they failed..they see Trump in their way, and they want him gone, dead, buried, so that NO ONE like him EVER runs for President again

“Was a ‘kill or be killed’ political mission and Deep State has failed.”

It ain’t even close to being over yet... Mueller is going to drop his ‘impeachment report’ to the new marxist controlled congress. One way or another.

Mueller and his band of high treason co-conspirators should have been rounded up a year ago and sent to gitmo awaiting treason trials.

Hard to see how settling harassment claims have anything to do with campaign finance laws.

Would spending money on defending the claims have been a violation too?

If they haven’t found anything after two years of the most intense rectal exam ever conducted, I would say their dream of finding some “Russki collusion” is just about shot. It’s just not there. Time for Mueller and his Clintoon shyster mobsters to go home and spend more time with da family whether they want to or not.

They charged that Russian company with a bunch of stuff thinking they would never fight back. When they showed up in court and demanded a speedy trial the whole thing seems to have disappeared.

Even Fox is reporting the Russian who offered Cohen “synergy” with the Trump Campaign. But they are not mentioning the next sentence saying Cohen did nothing to follow up. And Mueller states that as a fact. How can a call from someone be wrong if Cohen did nothing?

I suspect the quotes are highly out of context.

“Trump the counter puncher is loading up for a big right cross.”

Seems like wishful thinking. I have yet to see a meaningful counter punch for any of this. Nothing but tweets. For instance Rosenweasel totally set him up yet he’s still there even after it came out RR offered to wear a wire to trap or embarrass Trump. That’s Just one example. He hasn’t even released the docs. Now another swamp creature for AG. I just don’t see a fighter so far.

Fox is now discussing Russia Russia Russia ignoring that these Russian things had nothing to do with Trump. Like Manafort dealt with a “Russian” Ukrainian. A Russian called Cohen and Cohen did nothing.

This is major BS.

How much do you want to bet that a damn republican special counsel would find Hillary working with Russians.
