Donald Trump Jr: ‘Does Anybody Really Believe’ Mueller Doesn’t Know About Fusion GPS?

Donald Trump Jr. expressed skepticism Wednesday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller “never of heard of Fusion GPS,” the opposition research firm that partnered with Perkins Coie — the law firm working with Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign — and Christopher Steele, the foreign national who produced a now-debunked “dossier” alleging a nefarious conspiracy between then-candidate Donald Trump and the Russian government.

Speaking with Breitbart News at the Turning Point USA Teen Student Action Summit in Washington, DC, Trump mocked Mueller for saying he wasn’t aware of Fusion GPS, which “started the whole thing,” despite spending tens of millions of dollars on the years-long investigation.

“Today, I’m watching the Mueller testimony, and he’s saying he’s never heard of Fusion GPS,” he said. “I mean, think about that, you spend $50 million dollars in two years on an investigation, and you don’t even know what started the whole thing?”

“I mean, does anyone really believe that?” Trump added. “Do these people have any credibility left?”

The president’s eldest son, who is also the family’s most outspoken political operative, predicted that President Trump will greatly expand his electoral map in the upcoming 2020 election.

“When you look at what’s been going on for the last few years, it’s hard to believe that not all of them will [be battleground states],” he said. “It’s a disgrace what’s happening on the other side.”

“On paper, all of them should be up for grabs,” Trump added. “I realize that’s not going to happen, but it should. If facts mattered, 2020 would be over right now, but because of mainstream media bias, because of Hollywood and pop culture biases, it’s always going to be a tough fight, and we’re going to be out there fighting hard every day.”

Michael Moore Rips Democrats for Putting Faith in ‘Frail Old Man’ Robert Mueller

Far-left documentary filmmaker Michael Moore slammed Democrats for inviting what he called a forgetful, “frail old man” in former special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before Congress on Wednesday.

“A frail old man, unable to remember things, stumbling, refusing to answer basic questions.,” Michael Moore’s screed began. “I said it in 2017 and Mueller confirmed it today — All you pundits and moderates and lame Dems who told the public to put their faith in the esteemed Robert Mueller — just STFU from now on.”

“Trump must be gloating in ecstasy. Not because of the failure that is Robert Mueller — his Report is still a damning document of crimes by Trump — but because Trump understands the power of the visual, and he understands that the Dems aren’t street fighters and that’s why he’ll win.”

 

Indeed, President Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday and thanked Democrats for holding their hearing and making Mueller their star witness.

“I would like to thank the Democrats for holding this morning’s hearing,” the president said.

After calling Wednesday’s hearing a predictable embarrassment for the Democrats, Moore attempted to rally the left for next year’s election.

“C’mon, fellow Americans! Trump can be beaten,” the Oscar-winner said. “Just because he outwitted the DNC once- & is in the process of trying to do it again- doesn’t mean squat if we, the majority, rise up, get active & inspire a nation to make America the America we want it to be. We know how to do this!”

Michael Moore began betting that President Trump would be impeached just days after the 2016 election.

This is why we’re not going to have to suffer through four years of Donald J. Trump. He has no ideology except the ideology of Donald J. Trump,” Moore said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe in November 2016. “When you have a narcissist like that, he will maybe unintentionally break laws. He will break laws. Because he’s only thinking about what’s best for him.”

Hill Conservatives Sound Alarm Over Spending Deal

Some conservatives in Congress are denouncing a spending compromise between President Donald Trump and congressional Democrats “that increases spending by about $2 trillion over the next 10 years, but provides only $77 billion in offsets,” according to the chairman of the Republican Study Committee.

“While conservatives can appreciate the agreement’s restrictions on poison-pill riders, the price alone is far outside of what Congress should be allocating,” Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., added in a statement.

The spending deal, which is expected to be voted on this week before Congress adjourns for its August recess, combines a temporary suspension of the debt limit through July 31, 2021, with raising the spending caps in the Budget Control Act for fiscal years 2020 and 2021—meaning the federal government would have no limit on how much it can borrow, as The Daily Signal previously reported

“With more than $22 trillion in debt, we simply cannot afford deals like this one,” Johnson said. “I am disappointed Democrats denied the administration even modest concessions, and I will continue to make the case for restoring fiscal sanity in the Congress.”

The deal allocates $738 billion for military spending, which is less than the  $750 billion requested by Trump.

Rep. Mark Walker, R-N.C., a former chairman of the Republican Study Committee, also voiced his displeasure with the spending deal. 

“The debt ceiling is here again,” Walker tweeted. “Our credit card is maxed out. What this budget deal does is ask the credit card company for another $320 billion in credit NOW for the chance to get paid back $75 billion in a decade. No bank would take that. American taxpayers shouldn’t either.”

The Wall Street Journal reported that Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, called out Trump for negotiating through Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, rather than acting Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought. 

“The president should be listening to [acting White House Chief of Staff] Mick Mulvaney and Russ Vought, and he should not be listening to Steven Mnuchin, period,” Roy said, appearing to suggest that he doesn’t trust Mnuchin to fight for conservative Republican budget priorities.

Roy added that “Senate Republicans will never not find a corner where they can go and hide,” implying that Republicans in the other chamber cannot be counted on to cut spending.

Roy also tweeted about the spending deal:

In May, Roy penned a letter, signed by more than 40 of his House GOP colleagues,  asking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to pursue only spending deals that adhere to the budget caps for fiscal years 2020 and 2021. 

Conservative lawmakers in the Senate are also not happy about the so-called deal. 

“The Trump economic boom gave us the best economy we’ve had in decades, and in any business, now would be the time to cut spending & save up for a rainy day,” freshman Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., tweeted

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., likewise weighed in on Twitter:

Gohmert to Mueller: ‘You Perpetuated Injustice’

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said Wednesday that if someone knows he’s innocent of conspiring with Russia to interfere with the election and that people at the Justice Department hate him, that person is not obstructing justice, he’s pursuing justice, and the fact that Mueller dragged out the Russia investigation for two years shows Mueller was perpetuating injustice.
