President Donald Trump said he was “honored” by the Republican-authored report on the Russia investigation from the House Intelligence Committee released Friday, before repeating his predictable talking points about the “witch hunt” against him and that there was “no collusion” between his campaign and “the Russian people.”
“I was very honored by the report,” he said in the Oval Office during a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “It was totally conclusive, strong, powerful, many things said that nobody knew about and said in a very strong way. They were very forceful in saying that the Clinton campaign actually did contribute to Russia. So maybe somebody ought to look at that. But what we really should do is get on with our lives and get on with a lot of things.”
Republicans announced the main findings of their report last month, which Democrats on the committee vehemently oppose and have claimed the committee didn’t interview enough witnesses or gather enough evidence to support their conclusion.
The partisan squabble came to a head with the Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) led effort to release a classified memo that purported to show that the FBI had an anti-Trump bias and violated FISA protocol in order to obtain a warrant to surveil a Trump associate.

Well, of course. The woefully inept, self-serving, and deficient report was always intended as a crutch for Twitler to lean on. But on the other hand there’s this. Time will tell.
Does he even understand the meaning of the words? The report is an effort to save his ass not to commend him about anything.
Congratulations !
I’m amused at what seems to be a new meme among the Tumpgnescenti: The idea that Trump is a good-hearted, dumb naïf, who is being manipulated by the liberal snowflakes. They are saying mean things about him, which causes him to tweet-lash out messages that make him appear to look guilty. The evil cunning of it all.
Of course Russia’s Agent Orange is honored to have successfully enlisted the majority members of a House Committee to join him in his distain for the rule of law
