Our work will continue into the August recess and we will use those subpoenas, if we must.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nadler is lying, flat out. Mueller said no such thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Mueller said just the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As noted in a tweet from&nbsp;<em>ABC News<\/em>, Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) asked Mueller, \u201cAt any time during the investigation, was your investigation curtailed or stopped or hindered?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mueller\u2019s response: \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We already know there was no criminal collusion or conspiracy because Mueller stated that fact plainly in his report to the Justice Department earlier this year. So if his probe was not hindered in any way by White House or anyone else, then we can\u2019t very well have a crime of obstruction by the president, can we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"474\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rep.

It feeds into the #neverTrump rage of conspiracy nut jobs, wackos, sickos, and wannabe anarchists though this president hasn\u2019t done a damned thing wrong. Period.
