DOJ Report Confirms That the President Is a Dishonest Conspiracy Theorist

Donald Trump has claimed that a secret cabal of “deep state” Democrats within the FBI “rigged” the bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton — thereby allowing her to escape accountability for violations of information-security protocol that should have landed her in prison — even as said cabal orchestrated a “WITCH HUNT” into his campaign’s nonexistent ties to Russian hacking, in a diabolical, anti-democratic bid to get Clinton elected.

In light of these (alternative) “facts,” the president maintains that the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election— and his own alleged attempts to interfere with that investigation — is so “corrupt” and baseless, it should be ended as soon as possible.

There are several reasons to question Trump’s word on this subject. To name a few:

• A new report from the Justice Department’s inspector general “found no evidence that the conclusions by department prosecutors” in the Clinton email investigation “were affected by bias or other improper considerations … Rather, we concluded that they were based on the prosecutor’s assessment of facts, the law, and past department practice.”

• The president is known liar who frequently, publicly admits that he likes to tell lies.

• Trump has made many, many specific claims about “deep state” conspiracies against him that have proven to be completely false.

• Donald Trump Jr. has publicly confessed to accepting an ostensible offer of opposition research from the Russian government, while Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos has admitted to seeking thousands of stolen Clinton emails from a woman he believed to be Vladimir Putin’s niece.

Much more at link. An excellent catalog of facts about Trump lies and conspiracy theories.

1. Says the guy who

called Forbes and radio programs, and reporters...claiming to be someone else, and spoke glowingly of himself. WHO does that shit? A liar. And someone who thinks he's smarter than everyone by half.

2. Let the prosecution begin.

At least it would change the subject to a higher level. This dotard is fucking guilty beyond any semblance of doubt.
