I suppose it hasn't occurred to you that he didn't issue anything until the "investigation" was complete?  Or that in his position, that this was most certainly another ghoulish attempt by desperate Republicans and Russians to save the incompetent and clearly mentally lie confabulator just to grasp the White House?  1,100 lies just since Jan. 21st!  I will be pleased when the real fraud, Trump, is fired for incompetence and fraud.
