Kellyanne Conway declares Mueller report's release 'best day' since Trump's election



Kellyanne Conway declares Mueller report's release 'best day' since Trump's election
By Brett Samuels - 04/18/19 02:15 PM EDT


White House counselor Kellyanne Conway declared Thursday "the best day" since President Trump's election, reveling in the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller's full report.

Conway spoke to reporters at the White House, where she swiped at Democrats and the media after Mueller's investigation and downplayed any potentially damaging information included in the more than 400-page document, which did not implicate Trump in conspiracy with the Russian government or obstruction of justice.

"I called this a political proctology exam," Conway said of the report, claiming Trump had received a "clean bill of health."

Mueller's report did not establish that there was collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. On obstruction of justice, Mueller looked at 10 episodes and did not exonerate Trump, but Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined there was not sufficient evidence to charge the president.

Conway said she read the entire report.

"That should make people very good about democracy," Conway said of the report's main findings. "And it should make people feel really great that a campaign I managed to its successful end did not collude with any Russians."

"We’re accepting apologies today, too, for anybody who feels the grace in offering them," she added.

self serving cretin who never considers how stupid your comments are. I am open to an apology, not giving one.

However, there are 14 other investigations going on that still are underway. I await their results with eagerness. Perhaps you should offer apologies instead, for lying to the American public with your boss' over 9,000 lies?

Update: More than 14 other investigations (I was incorrect. Posting the below to correct):

From hlthe2b (DUer):

HARM TO ONGOING MATTER

Don't lose sight of that.
We still have *twenty* pending federal and state investigations into Donald Trump, his family, his aides, his advisers, his allies, and his associates.

Some folks do it for money, some for fame, others for power. Still others for all three.

And then there are people like Trump and Conway. They just do it because that's what they do. There needn't be a reason for it. Certainly not a good one anyway. No point in giving the Crypt Chick the time of day...
