Russian Senator Calls Mueller Report 'Smoke And Mirrors'

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 24th March, 2019) Russian Senator Alexey Pushkov has slammed the long-awaited report on Russia collusion claims that US special counsel Robert Mueller has submitted to the Department of Justice as smoke and mirrors.

"The Mueller report will not prove 'Russia collusion' because there was none...

The report will be all smoke and mirrors and a bunch of highly likely's but nothing specific. The mountain has again brought forth a mouse," he tweeted Sunday.

The 22-month-long probe into Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 US election and suspected collusion between Russian officials and Donald Trump's associates ended on Friday without any recommendations of new indictments. US Attorney General William Barr is expected to make the principle conclusions public soon.
