Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel accused Democrats of staging political theater with former special counsel Robert Mueller’s congressional testimony on Wednesday.
Her comments came in a column posted on the Fox News website Wednesday before Mueller’s testimony began.
“Just two months ago, Mueller said at a press conference he “would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before Congress,” she said.
Ahead of Wednesday’s testimony, we learned the Mueller’s official statement would be his own report. And yet, here we are, once again witnessing Democrats beating a dead horse instead of doing their job and addressing issues that actually matter to Americans.”
She maintained Mueller’s report “did not accuse” President Donald Trump of “any wrongdoing.”
“It also enraged congressional Democrats, who had spent almost two years waiting with bated breath for a chance to attack our president,” she said.
“This is the sole reason behind the political theater taking place in Congress Wednesday. As Mueller sits through hours of testimony, let’s remember what his report did uncover: the failure of the Obama administration to address Russia’s cyber-meddling, despite knowing about it for years.”
And she said Mueller also revealed the Obama’s administration’s “abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Process to spy on the Trump campaign…”
She said Americans have accepted the results of the Mueller probe and moved on.
McDaniel added: “Voters across the country have a clear message for Democrats: it’s past time to accept the results of the 2016 election, move on from these made-up investigations, and finally do your job.”
