Remember right after Trump fired Comey, he met w/ Russians Lavrov & Kislyak in our Oval Office, only allowed in a Russian photog, passed classified intel, & never looked more relaxed or pleased. Is this a man not serving or colluding with the Russians? Do you believe your eyes?

Trump is leading a cult fueled by anger and paranoia. And the GOP is just fine with that. This recent appeasement/courtship of deplorables began with the Tea Party, then Sarah Palin, then birther Trump. Now GOP = QAnon. Sad.

If they're now confirming the Mueller report is over 300 pages long, that doesn't tell us anything about what's in it, but it does raise further questions about why thus far we're only allowed to see less than 50 words of it that were quoted in William Barr's statement.
