The House Intel Committee claimed they found no evidence of collusion by the President. Yet a member of the GOP felt that the matter was best investigated by the Executive Branch.
He didn’t think that the claim by the committee was enough to vindicate Trump of the accusations made against him.
It was known that the committee was favorable towards Trump and Democrats had accused them on more than one occasion of being bias.
It didn’t help that the President’s response to the Russian lawyer claim of being an informant could make things worse.
He made comments about her revelation while speaking at a rally in Michigan. He spoke about Natalia Veselnitskaya who met with some of his team at the Trump Tower.
It was also believed that in so doing he may have said more than he should, raising questions about the matter.
Russian Lawyer
In his bid to make himself look good about giving Russia a hard time Trump may have slipped.
Talking about the Russian lawyer Trump said “In fact, have you heard about the lawyer? “For a year — a woman lawyer — she was like, ‘Oh, I know nothing.’ Now all of a sudden, she supposedly is involved with the [Russian] Government.”
“I am a lawyer, and I am an informant,” she said. “Since 2013, I have been actively communicating with the office of the Russian Prosecutor General.”
It was likely that Robert Mueller would look into what the lawyer claimed. She had said previously to her announcement that she was surprised Mueller hadn’t contacted her.
“Look at what’s happened,” Trump said at his rally on Saturday. “Look at how these politicians have fallen for this junk. Russian collusion — give me a break.”
