The media gave Trump no time before they started attacking him again. They can’t comprehend that they’re the reason he won in the first place.
Now NBC Host Chuck Todd is under fire for this deranged rant about Donald Trump.
Former NBC News host Chuck Todd is being mocked for posting a link to the Mueller Report in light of the Trump administration’s moves to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Todd, who recently stepped down as host of “Meet the Press” for a yet-to-be-announced new media venture, took to X on Wednesday and posted a link to the American Constitution Society’s web page detailing “Key Findings of the Mueller Report.”
Referencing the Mueller Report, Todd wrote that it was “something folks [ought] to reacquaint themselves with.”
Glenn Greenwald, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and opponent of US support for Ukraine’s war effort, accused Todd of “impl[ying] [President] Trump is a Kremlin asset.”
“Playing all the old hits — because in desperation, what else do they have?” Greenwald wrote.
Another commenter on X wrote: “Chuck are you insinuating he’s still a Kremlin agent or the just being blackmailed with the pee tape?”
The “pee tape” is a reference to an unsubstantiated claim from the discredited “Steele dossier.”
The document put together by former British spy Christopher Steele alleged that during a 2013 visit to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant, Trump hired prostitutes to perform lewd acts in a hotel room, which Russian intelligence purportedly recorded to use as potential blackmail material.
Another X user told Todd: “The report was a failure, Chuck. Deal with it.”
“Further, the obstruction case cites ‘non-cooperation with the inquiry by the President, including refusing requests by the Special Counsel for an interview’,” X user Jim Stinson wrote, adding: “He has that right under the 5th Amendment, dummy.”
Robert Mueller is a former FBI director and special counsel appointed to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
He led an investigation from 2017 to 2019, examining possible coordination between Trump’s campaign and Russia, as well as potential obstruction of justice.
The Mueller Report concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election through social media manipulation and hacking but found insufficient evidence to prove a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The report documented multiple instances where Trump may have obstructed justice, though Mueller did not make a definitive legal judgment, citing Department of Justice policy against indicting a sitting president.
The report also stated that it did not exonerate Trump on obstruction charges, leaving the decision to Congress.
Trump’s stance on Russia once again came into focus on Wednesday as European leaders were shocked by the president’s sudden shift against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as he echoed Kremlin rhetoric by calling Zelensky a “dictator” and urging him to negotiate quickly with Moscow.
The potential loss of US military and financial support for Ukraine has forced European nations to reassess their security strategy, with leaders like France’s Emmanuel Macron and the UK’s Keir Starmer set to visit Washington for urgent talks.
Even the Kremlin was surprised by Trump’s harsh stance, with Russian officials uncertain of his negotiation tactics but eager to capitalize on any opportunity to secure advantages in a peace deal, according to Bloomberg News.
