Seriously, is the DoJ working for Putin? It sure looks like Trump handed them a big, juicy prize by dropping charges, so what did he get in exchange?
Why? The DoJ had enough evidence against The Russians to indict them and their trial was scheduled to start a few weeks. What intel was going to be revealed in that trial that Trump wanted to keep the public from knowing?
CNN: Russian oligarch gloats after US Justice Department drops election-meddling charges.
(CNN)Russian oligarch Yevegeny Prigozhin, who bankrolled the troll farm that meddled in the 2016 presidential election, took a victory lap on Tuesday after the US Justice Department dropped charges against two of his companies, weeks before a scheduled trial.
President Donald Trump also trumpeted the development, even though it was a setback for his own Justice Department. While Trump dealt with the coronavirus pandemic, he found time Monday evening to re-tweet two tweets that said the outcome tarnished the legacy of the Russia investigation that Mueller led. One of the tweets read, "How embarrassing for Team Mueller."
