Trump accuses Dems of 'inventing a coverup'

Source: The Hill



BY JOHN BOWDEN - 04/05/19 08:49 AM EDT

President Trump took aim at Democrats seeking the release of Robert Mueller's full report on his years-long investigation of the Trump campaign and Russia on Friday, accusing them of inventing a cover-up.

Quoting an editorial published Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal, Trump insinuated that Democrats had shifted their focus to proving that Attorney General William Barr was covering up the results of Mueller's investigation after having "lost" on the issue of collusion.




The editorial referenced by Trump was published Wednesday in the Journal and accuses Democratic lawmakers of shifting to accusing the attorney general of a cover up while "reeling" from the effects of Trump's political victory surrounding the end of the Mueller investigation without further charges being filed.

"Democrats are still reeling from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s conclusion that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russians in 2016. But they’ve now hit upon a political comeback strategy: Accuse Attorney General William Barr of a coverup," the Journal's editors wrote.

The report was prepared “so that the front matter from each section could have been released immediately — or very quickly,” the official said. “It was done in a way that minimum redactions, if any, would have been necessary, and the work would have spoken for itself.”

Mueller’s team assumed the information was going to be made available to the public, the official said, “and so they prepared their summaries to be shared in their own words — and not in the attorney general’s summary of their work, as turned out to be the case.”

As he spews his propaganda , and attacks the truth knowing it'll expose him and undermine all his propaganda . His firing people to replace them in each agency for HIS and HIS only control of them to use for protections , and as a weapon is undermining OUR Democracy . His lying , his racially motivated attacks, his corruption all creating a putin like government here where only the most corrupt prosper is advancing daily. He has to blame others to keep the con going, and his lies against all others will only get worse. He hates the republicans as much as he does Democrats , and in time will turn on all of them. He isn't a republican at all.
