President Donald Trump alleged Friday that Hillary Clinton colluded with Russia while claiming it’s “commonly agreed” that his associates didn’t work with the Kremlin to tilt the election in his favor.

“It is now commonly agreed, after many months of COSTLY looking, that there was NO collusion between Russia and Trump,” the president wrote Friday morning. “Was collusion with HC!”

Republican lawmakers are nearing the end of their probes into Russia’s role in the 2016 presidential election, though it remains unclear whether they’re close to concluding whether Trump associates colluded with Russians. The congressional panels plan to complete their probes by February.

Special counsel Robert Mueller, however, is leading a parallel probe. Mueller was appointed to lead the FBI investigation in the wake of the president’s abrupt firing of then-FBI Director James Comey. Mueller is reportedly looking at whether Trump obstructed justice, in addition to possible collusion with Trump associates and Moscow.

1. So, he's about to get nailed and is preparing to shut the whole thing down.

That's all this can mean.

[Auggie]

6. Yeah. But if that doesn't happen it could also be used as a defense against Mueller's findings.

9. I'm betting he's heard the news on this

11. Thanks for sharing

2. Smell that panic.

3. This "malignant normality" of an excuse, needs to be held accountable for his actions

he was and never has been held accountable for this actions of admitting what he did or has done.

If someone else had done what he did, they would be in jail, bankrupted, and the media Normalized" this "malignant normality" because he "was donald trump-------------------wrong

And now he runs around laying blame on Clinton------------this report does not mention that Richard Smith was helping the TRUMP campaign from the same firm Cambridge Analytical, and the country is watching from the "Malignant Normality republican side" such as Grassley and Nunes, trying to create a cover-up of the dossier-----------------


So the only way he can now rant like a madman is the costs factor, the RNC is paying his bills--------------well guess what "Malignant Normality" you created this mess and this democracy wants answers..................this is not 1933 at the Reichstad, not yet...................................

4. The one being investigated...

denies anything happened.

"This jackass can come up with nothing original," says every resident in every correctional facility.

5. Can some freakin journalist ask him how he knows that?

Is he getting secret grand jury info? Do any of them understand that journalists should ask the basis of knowledge of his statements.

Can someone ask him who talks to about the probe?

7. OK I have seen this act before

“It is now commonly agreed, after many months of COSTLY looking, that there was NO collusion between Russia and Trump,” the president wrote Friday morning. “Was collusion with HC!” Trump

8. So, by his standard

Hillary is innocent because the investigations have spent something like $100 million dollars and have all declared her innocence.

Definitely proves he's living in a bubble.

10. Boy there's a lot of ignorant comments to that article

People are stupid.

12. All this Clinton crap and constant lying denials about collusion are just pre-emptive strikes.

He knows Mueller is getting close so he and pals are furiously, furiously, working to discredit the message. First he had Pompeo come out and say investigation uncovered no collusion at all - then CIA came out and called out his total lie - they said there was no change to their finding that Russia definitely impacted our election and that the collusions charges were being investigated. That's the standard line, nothing at all has changed, even drumpf's lies are the same, it's just another lying asshole Repug saying it now in his stead.

Then there's all the Hillary linking with Russia that's such a total joke and Repugs are doing that instead of protecting our democracy, the fucking traitors! Grassley has destroyed the joint investigation, carrying water for the traitors, and House efforts were subjugated to Nunes and Gowdy's pure partisanship for Drumpf and Russia, so both investigations into Russia have effectively been stopped in Congress, which was drumpfs' aim to begin with.

I just can't take it!

13. If Mueller comes out with something, who is going to hold people accountable?

All the Republicans are committing treason, and the DoJ is worthless under Sessions.

[Cryptoad]

14. O Yellar shouldnt Put too much faith in what Nunes tells him..

[SergeStorms]

15. "Shut the fuck up Donnie".

"You're out of your element"!

Imagine Walter Sobchack in 'The Big Lebowski' barking at Trump right now.

"My buddies didn't die face down in the muck so you could subvert Democracy, you Nazi bastard"!

So shut up Donnie. We all know you're going down, and it will be sweet. SWEET, SWEET when they kick your ass out of the White House!
