Among the guilty are Trump&#8217;s National Security Advisor, and his assistant campaign manage. It&#8217;s hard to get much closer to the White House than that. And yet it does. Breaking news on Monday morning reveals that Mueller&#8217;s team has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/mueller-subpoenas-communications-with-trump-and-inner-circle\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">issued subpoenas<\/a><\/strong> for numerous documents and communications with Trump insiders including Corey Lewandowski, Hope Hicks, Keith Schiller, and his personal attorney Michael Cohen.<\/p>\n<p>Which may explain why the Trump surrogate army has been deployed to flood the airwaves with deceitful propaganda. Bossie is taking the lead with an interview on the Fox News program Outnumbered OT (video below). and his dishonesty and obfuscation is so apparent it must be humiliating. He said that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;The American people are sick and tired of this two year investigation. We are getting into this scandal fatigue area where the American people are tired of it. They see the shifting around and they don&#8217;t see any evidence whatsoever that this president or the campaign did anything wrong, let alone collude with the Russians.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>First of all, Bossie is brazenly lying about the duration of the investigation. Mueller was appointed to his position in May of 2017, so it hasn&#8217;t even been in progress for one year yet. However, Bossie did inadvertently stumble over a truth with regard to the American people&#8217;s fatigue. They are surely tired of how long this scandal is being drawn out and would appreciate a swift conclusion. However, it isn&#8217;t because they think Trump and Russia are innocent, as Bossie implies. To the contrary, The American people overwhelming believe that that the investigation is warranted and that Trump is likely guilty of something. A new <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ReliableSources\/status\/970690442437120000\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CNN poll<\/a><\/strong> found that sixty-one percent of Americans say the Russia investigation is a serious matter. Seventy-two percent are very\/somewhat concerned about foreign interference in U.S. elections.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how many times people like Bossie or Sean Hannity or Sarah Huckabee Sanders say there is no evidence of collusion or other wrongdoing, they cannot make it true. The known evidence is piling up, and the evidence that is known only to Mueller and his team is surely far more damning than what has been made public. And the same is true with regard to the false right-wing assertions that the people don&#8217;t care about this issue. Trump&#8217;s defenders are only exposing their desperation by distorting reality to fit their yearning for all of this to be over. And Trump himself is dong the same thing on Twitter:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Why did the Obama Administration start an investigation into the Trump Campaign (with zero proof of wrongdoing) long before the Election in November?

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/970650759091163137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 5, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s anxiety could not be more apparent.

He is simultaneously saying that there was no Russian election meddling, and also that President Obama did nothing about the Russian election meddling that didn&#8217;t happen. Never mind that every U.S. intelligence agency with jurisdiction has stated unequivocally that there was Russian meddling. What&#8217;s more, Obama punished Russia with sanctions and ejections of Russian operatives. He also tried to put together a bipartisan response, but Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/obama-chief-of-staff-mcconnell-wanted-watered-down-russia-response-1520169372-a6719207-fb16-4c33-a4df-a77e2e00f279.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">refused to cooperate<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The tantrums thrown by Trump and his surrogates like Bossie aren&#8217;t helping their cause. They are only making them appear guilty and frantic as they scramble for cover. And the American people see right through this pathetic charade. It&#8217;s only a matter of time before Mueller&#8217;s investigation is complete and the truth revealed. And that&#8217;s when the American people&#8217;s fatigue will be relieved. But it will be just the beginning for Trump et al.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-video\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/David_Bossie?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@David_Bossie<\/a>: \u201cThe American people are sick and tired of this\u2026 nearly two year investigation.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OutnumberedOT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#OutnumberedOT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6JnhuBykKR\">pic.twitter.com\/6JnhuBykKR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Fox News (@FoxNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FoxNews\/status\/970722471161860096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 5, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Longtime Donald Trump sycophant and Citizens United honcho, David Bossie, visited State-Run TV (aka Fox News) on Monday to further disseminate the absurdity that special counsel Robert Mueller&#8217;s investigation &#8220;doesn&#8217;t seem like it is going anywhere near the White House.&#8221; That&#8217;s an obvious falsehood that is easily refuted by widely available facts.
