Ammunition for tweets, gets people riled up. but i dont think sean hannity going on the air and telling bob mueller to end his investigation as mr. hannity is done is going to have any effect. i think what muellers shown is that he can work through the noise, whether its coming from fox news pundits, or whether its coming from members of congress or from the president himself. his investigation continues, and i think he realizes, and we all should recognize, that these attempted distractions are...
