When was the Mueller report "debunked"?

Republicans, and especially Devin Nunes, have stated that several times during this weeks' hearings.

Did I miss something? I don't recall any of the Mueller Report being "debunked"?

I do recall AG Barr making a unilateral decision to deep-six it before it could ever be read. And it took him weeks to release some of it to the public?

Also, I recall many instances of collusion with the Russians, and I recall many instances where Donald Trump obstructed the investigation.

Was it "debunked"?

I don't remember that?

Nor was the Steele Dossier, for that matter.

Everything that has come out since then has confirmed both accounts.

Barr seized the narrative and ran with it.
I still don’t understand why Mueller didn’t stand up to him at the hearings.

He could have rebutted Barr. He chose to keep his mouth shut.

He was able to set the narrative and most everyone tuned out after that.

That was righty BS talk for "no collusion" which is not even what was investigated, nor could it be investigated by Mueller.

Mueller found paths to Trump during his investigation. I believe that Ukraine is really the smaller fish in all of this. Congress should follow up on what Mueller could not.

I wouldn't be surprised if they found solid proof of out and out treason.

Like all the GOP responses this week, it was a lie that is made for both FOX talking points and uninformed GOP voters.

Of course it hasn’t been, but repeating lies is one of their top tactics.
