“President Trump has been fully and completely exonerated yet again. Now the tables have turned, and it’s time to investigate the liars who instigated this sham investigation into President Trump, motivated by political retribution and based on no evidence whatsoever,” Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement.

“Now that the collusion and obstruction conspiracy theories have been exposed for the pathetic hoaxes they always were, the Obama-era DOJ and FBI must answer for their misdeeds and the scam that they perpetrated against the American people. Justice will be served.”
The campaign also published a video to its YouTube page showing several high-profile Democrats and other public officials saying the president engaged in a host of unsavory activity, including colluding with Russia and obstructing justice.

“Trump was right. They were wrong,” the video says. “No collusion. No obstruction. Total exoneration.”

Trump and his associates have long claimed that Mueller’s probe was started as a partisan “witch hunt” in an effort to undermine his presidency and ease Democrats’ shock over losing the 2016 race.
Barr told Congress last week he would review the FBI’s efforts to investigate members of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, saying he believed “spying” took place.
“I think spying did occur,” Barr said during a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing. “I am going to be reviewing both the genesis and the conduct of intelligence activities directed at the Trump campaign during 2016.”
Parscale doubled down on the attorney general’s conclusion, suggesting those involved in the surveillance should be punished.
“There is simply no denying that ‘spying did occur’ on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, as Attorney General Barr himself noted in testimony before Congress. Barr went on to testify that there was a ‘failure among a group of leaders there at the upper echelon [of the FBI] … [and] I feel I have an obligation to make sure that government power is not abused,'” Parscale said. “Justice will be served.”
