President Trump responded to the release of the Inspector General’s report on the Russia investigation with an avalanche of brazen lies and petulant vitriol, as he has taken to doing whenever he gets news he doesn’t like these days.
The IG report cleared the FBI of the accusations of bias and conspiracy that the President and his allies have been howling about for years now, but it appears the conclusions of his own Department of Justice is nothing but further evidence that that the world is out to get him.

The president even veered off the cliff into wild hyperbole, accusing his enemies of attempting an “overthrow of the government” despite the fact that he was a private citizen and not in office when the investigation began.
As many commentators were quick to point out, including FOX News’ own Chris Wallace, the report said nothing of the sort and in reality simply confirmed what we all knew to be true: that America’s law enforcement agencies took necessary action to investigate what appeared to be connections between a presidential campaign and a hostile foreign power and that foreign power’s efforts to interfere in the election.

They did their jobs, which is more than President Trump can say.
