West Wing Reads Mueller Cleared President Trump — Now Get Over It

Mueller Cleared President Trump — Now Get Over It “It’s now been more than six weeks since special counsel Bob Mueller, the former FBI director, concluded his investigation into Russia’s interference in our 2016 election . . . It’s been two weeks since Attorney General William Barr made the 450-page report public. This investigation went on for two years. It’s finally over,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) writes in the New York Post. “For two years, the Democratic Party held out hope that the legal system would undo their loss in 2016. They refused to make peace with the American people’s choice. But the American people elected this president. They did. The American people voted for change.” Click here to read more. “Democrats are angry the special counsel’s report did not produce the material or conclusions they expected to pave their path to impeaching President Trump. You can’t help but notice the phrase ‘Russian collusion’ has vanished from Democratic talking points and left a void in their narrative,” Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), the top Republican lawmaker on the House Judiciary Committee, writes in Fox News. “So Democrats have resolved to neutralize Barr by attacking his integrity . . . What a cynical, mean-spirited, counterproductive and irresponsible step it is.” “China is up to its old tricks on trade, but it’s learning the hard way that there’s a new sheriff in town: President Trump,” the New York Post editorial board writes. “China has operated in bad faith not only in negotiations, but in its actual trade policies, time and again breaking promises to stop stealing intellectual property and trade secrets. Let’s be honest: It was Beijing that started this war. Yet until Trump, America declined to fight back.” “There may be light at the end of the tunnel for the beleaguered town of Lordstown. President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday that General Motors has agreed to sell the shuttered Chevrolet plant to an electric truck manufacturer,” Drew Scofield reports for News 5 Cleveland. “During a visit to the Lima in March, Trump called for the plant to be sold so local workers could be employed again.” “Nearly 100,000 people were taken into custody along the southern border in April after illegally crossing from Mexico into the United States, marking the highest number in one month since April 2007, according to new federal data,” Anna Giaritelli reports for the Washington Examiner. “Department of Homeland Security numbers show U.S. Border Patrol agents in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California apprehended 98,977 people who crossed between ports of entry in areas that do and do not have barriers.” “With this being National Small Business Week across our country, let’s remember that America’s new era of economic prosperity is due to finally having a businessman like President Trump in the White House,” Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) writes in Fox Business. “The economic numbers speak for themselves”—5.4 million new jobs, wages up 2.7 percent, and the unemployment rate now at a historically low 3.6 percent.
