Top Dem claims Mueller report shows Russia ‘artificially’ placed Trump in White House

"A top Democratic lawmaker claimed Wednesday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report shows Moscow “artificially” placed President Trump in the White House -- despite the report finding no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.
The statement came amid a fiery session of the House Judiciary Committee where lawmakers weighed holding Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt for defying a subpoena for the full Mueller report.

“Seventeen different intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia interfered with our election, attacked our democracy for the sole purpose of artificially placing someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., the House Democratic Caucus chairman, said. “They were successful, and that’s also what the Mueller report shows.”
"“This is not a politically inspired witch hunt,” he added.
Republicans at the session, meanwhile, expressed their anger at what they described as a politically motivated push by Democrats unhappy at the conclusions of Mueller’s report and worried about efforts to probe the origins of the Russia investigation itself.
“I think it’s all about trying to destroy Bill Barr because Democrats are nervous he’s going to get to the bottom of everything,” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said. “He’s going to find out how and why this investigation started in the first place.”"

The Democrats have totally lost it. They are Hell bent on destroying what was once a great political party of Truman, Kenndy et al. How it is how to whack jobs and Socialists bent of the destruction of the American Republic.

    These Democrat leaders are so frightened it is apparent to a sight impaired individual. What are they afraid of? Will Barr prove that O'Bamana and Cackles bought and paid for the Steele Dossier? Their 'great plan' will be destroyed. I wouldn't put anything past these Godless people.

    I simply do not believe Jeffries read the report. He's relying on the media and staffers to tell him what he should believe. I just don't buy that these politicians actually sit down and read any lengthy document. Their attention spans are just not that long.

    He's factually incorrect when he says, "Seventeen different intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia interfered with our election, attacked our democracy for the sole purpose of artificially placing someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,” My understanding is they have concluded nothing of the sort.

      All you have to do is repeat it enough times and then it becomes a "known fact".

        I hear what you're saying, but today we have more access to information and freedom to express unpopular ideas than in most of human history. In some times in the past, you could say if those who own the press, or before that those who are able to read religious texts, keep saying it, then it's true for most people. Now most people can read, and most people are smart enough not to believe there's one sacrosanct text. Now when someone says something wrong, we can correct it, and people can look up the truth... not just the scribes, monks, and merchants, but most everyone.
