Kremlin says Mueller's Russia investigation is pointless

Kremlin says Mueller's Russia investigation is pointless

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Tuesday that U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and other related crimes would end one day, describing it as pointless.

“There’s hope that it will wind up one day,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters when asked about the investigation.

“In Russian, it’s called passing water through a sieve,” he said of the U.S. probe, using a Russian expression that means flogging a dead horse. “That’s exactly what the process looks like.”

Russia has repeatedly denied allegations it interfered in the election to help Donald Trump reach the White House and has complained of what it says is an orchestrated anti-Russian campaign in the United States.

Putin is a criminal thug. I don't care about his opinion. Robert Mueller is doing his job. Putin can suck eggs.

They've just been given the answer they've spent the last year+ looking for.

Besides, didn't Putin tell Trump Russia didn't interfere in our 2016 elections? And didn't IQ45 say he believes him?

That's good enough for me.
