"This memo totally vindicates 'Trump' in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!"
The "memo" in question is the one released by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-California, that alleges that a dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele was the sole reason a FISA warrant was granted to surveil one-time Trump aide Carter Page. (Got all that?)
First things first: Like you, I have no idea why Trump put "Trump" in quotes in the tweet. Maybe he means the collective Trump world of family, advisers and family advisers?
That's not the really important thing, though. The really important thing is that the Nunes memo -- even if you believe every word of it -- does not "totally vindicate" Trump.
Presuming the "probe" Trump is referring to here is special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, it's important to note here that the "probe" is looking into Russia's attempted interference into the 2016 presidential election and whether there was any collusion between Russia and members of the Trump campaign.
What the Nunes memo alleges -- and Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee insist that that Steele dossier wasn't the only reason the FISA warrant for Page was approved -- has zero to do with Mueller's probe. Trump is conflating the possibility the FISA warrant against Page with the broader investigation into Russia's attempted meddling in a national US election.
THE PRESIDENT SAID SOMETHING UN TRUE?!?!? THAT'S UNHEARD OF
ReplyDeleteTrump is always saying untrue things. He even lied by saying he'd make America great again.
