Washington Post Called Out For Fake News About Trump/Russia Investigation

Another source has come out and exposed the lies that The Washington Post is telling about the Russia/Trump investigation. Robert Mueller, the special council appointed to look into Russian interference into the 2016 Presidential election is not investigating President Donald Trump. The Post made that claim earlier this week – that Mueller had expanded his probe to include Trump’s conduct and has arranged interviews with senior administration officials to assess the nature of their own communications with Trump regarding the Russia investigation.

Thomas spoke on ABC’s “This Week” to throw water all over The Post’s accusations:

Russia has threatened to shoot down US warplanes operating in parts of Syria where its air forces operate amid a diplomatic row caused by the downing of a Syrian jet.

The country's defence ministry said it would also suspend a hotline between Russia and the US set up to prevent mid-air collisions.

The statement followed after a US F-18 Super Hornet shot down a Syrian army SU-22 jet on Sunday in the countryside near Raqqa.

Once again, this was supposedly based upon 5 ‘anonymous sources’ familiar with the investigation.

If that were true, and the information came out of the special counsel’s office, that would of course be an illegal leak.

But as it turns out with most of these leaks, it wasn’t exactly true, according to this ABC report from justice correspondent Pierre Thomas.

While Mueller’s team will apparently be interviewing senior administration officials to assess the nature of their own communications with Trump regarding the Russia investigation, Thomas says that Mueller has not yet decided to conduct a full-scale investigation and describes this stage of this inquiry as “preliminary.”

“He has not made that momentous decision to go for a full-scale investigation,” according to Thomas.

Thomas also interestingly references the choice facing Mueller as “does he go after the President in the way that James Comey wants him to do?” Strange point and is James Comey having input in....
