1/The big lie animating entire GOP right now is that the investigations into Trump were partisan/illegitimate. Let's take a look at his.
In 2017 Dems wanted 9/11 Commission to look Russian attack, not investigations into Trump.
Mueller began when Trump fired Comey.

2/Russia probe began when Trump fired a GOP FBI Director and one his own appointees brought in a GOP former FBI Director to lead a probe. Every single person in this loop was a Republican. No Democrats anywhere. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
3/The original Russia investigation was also determined to be legitimate not partisan by a career prosecutor who was originally appointed by President Bush and whose wife worked for Lou Dobbs. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
4/Obviously the investigation into #TrumpRussia was warranted - the President lied about his ties to Putin and his business dealings w/Russia; his campaign had extensive contacts w/Russians; campaign coordinated w/Russian affiliated Wikileaks.
5/Why did the President go to such lengths to obstruct a legitimate inquiry into something as serious as the Russian attack on the US if he had nothing to hide? thehill.com/policy/nationa…
6/On Ukraine, the investigation into the President began when another GOPer and Trump appointee, IC IG Michael Atkinson, determined the President's behavior was a matter of "urgent concern." The CIA GC actually referred the President for prosecution. nytimes.com/2019/09/19/opi…
7/Every person who testified and provided direct evidence at the House investigation worked for Trump. Bolton worked for Trump too. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
8/In sum - Ukraine and Russia investigations were initiated by Trump's own appointees. Every person who testified worked for him. Mueller is a GOPer. DOJ IG says Russia probe was legit.
Both probes were legit, Dems had nothing to do with either. "Unfairness" narrative is nuts.

9/The 2 investigations also showed POTUS repeatedly broke laws, acted improperly.
Stone filing this week makes clear the US govt believes Trump campaign conspired w/Russia in 2016.
And Barr's reax to this lawlessness? Cover it up, advance "unfairness" narrative. Jawdropping.

10/Look at what the RNC put out this morning. It's just crazy ranting, all complete discredited BS - but it remains the essential, the core. It is the biggest of the Big Lies.
