Opposition research is not illegal and the Hillary campaign and the DNC paid a MILLION bucks for the Russian dossier manufactured by Fusion GPS with the help of UK spy Christopher Steele which was used as “intelligence” data to get a FISA warrant and open the Mueller investigation.
It’s truly disgusting that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that was set up after 9/11 as a tool to better protect the US from foreign enemies has been tainted by leftist liberal Democrats which exposes them for the national security threat they are since they will politicized anything & everything to retain power.
To me, the statement that Mueller couldn’t exonerate him meant that Mueller hated Trump from the beginning but couldn’t find a criminal case against him. He was acting as a prosecutor but, having failed in his goal, gratuitously expressed his own anger over his failure to get Trump.
“I couldn’t catch him, but darned if I’m not going to smear him”.
It is an admission of bias by Mueller.,
It turns the Mueller report into a document of opposition research for the Democrats, paid for with taxpayer money.
The Mueller report also states the is they could have exonerated him the report would say so. To me, that statement means that he also looked at ways to exonerate him.
There is no anger in his report. He tries to lay out events and facts.
