However, President Trump’s base has a wholly different outlook on the Mueller probe. Most conservatives have blasted the investigation as a waste of time and taxpayer dollars. Like the President, they view the investigation as a witch hunt and an attempt to validate a phony dossier. Trump supporters have moreover pushed back against critics who have called to impeach the President and incarcerate his relatives.
Conservatives also cheered when the House Intelligence Committee announced their decision to discontinue the Russia probe. Many right-leaning Americans viewed the preceding choice as additional evidence disproving claims of collusion with Russia. However, the President’s critics censured the decision, claiming that House Republicans were merely shielding President Trump.

“The DNC SWAMP is being drained.”
“Police are actually investigating after a crime took place. Mueller is on a witch hunt[.]“
