What makes these examples particularly notable is that access to the underlying material used in the #MuellerReport is extremely limited.

#SpecialCounsel #RobertMueller reached an unambiguous conclusion in the final report on his investigation into #Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election: Neither President Trump nor any member of his campaign colluded with #Russia. (Thread 👇)theepochtimes.com/no-collusion-b…
#SpecialCounsel identified 2 primary efforts by the #Russian gov't to interfere in the 2016 election: the Internet Research Agency (IRA) and a group of Russian #Military intelligence officials with the GRU.
The IRA coordinated an illegal campaign to influence voters via #socialmedia, while GRU hacked Democratic targets and published the stolen emails online.
In both cases, #Mueller did not find evidence to suggest that any American knowingly conspired with #Russia.

Setting aside that the statement is factually false, there is something about Judge Sullivan politically pious ejaculation in court that commands a closer look. In full disclosure, I don't know the judge but I appeared before him once while practicing in DC.
At that time, and ever after, I have said that I found his treatment of my clients' request to be reasonable and fair ... wrong, for sure, but judges will make errors and sometimes that is just compounded by angry vitriols or personal biases.
