(Washington DC) Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement in response to the Muller special counsel report summary made public by Attorney General Barr today:
The
long national nightmare is over and President Trump has been vindicated. The
corruptly-created and constitutionally abusive Mueller investigation failed to
find any evidence to support the big lie that the Trump campaign colluded with
the Russian government.
Were pleased that AG Barr rejected Muellers attempt to smear President Trump
with obstruction of justice innuendo by concluding that no such charges could
be credibly sustained. Frankly Mueller never had a valid basis upon which to
investigate President Trump for obstruction of justice.
Lets be clear neither Mueller the Obama FBI DOJ CIA State Department nor
the Deep State ever had a good-faith basis to pursue President Trump on Russia
collusion. Russia collusion wasnt just a hoax it is a criminal abuse which
is why Judicial Watch has fought and will continue to fight for Russiagate
documents in federal court.
The targeting of President Trump served to protect Hillary Clinton and her
enablers/co-conspirators in Obama administration from prosecution. Attorney
General Barr can begin restoring the credibility of the Justice Department by
finally initiating a thorough investigation of the Clinton emails and related
pay-to-play scandals and the abuses behind the targeting of President Trump.
Judicial Watch has long called for the shutdown of the Mueller special counsel
operation and has pursued dozens of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits
into the illicit targeting and other abuses of President Trump. Judicial Watch
FOIA litigation exposed for example:
- The dossier-based
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant applications targeting
President Trump
- FBI payments to
Christopher Steele
- FBI firing of Steele
- Extensive DOJ (Ohr)
collusion w/Steele Simpson Fusion GPS
- No court hearings by
defrauded FISA courts before warrants were issued
Anti-Trump bias by Mueller deputy Andrew Weissmann
