July 25, 2019, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement urging the Justice Department to get to the bottom of the origins of the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory that became a three-years-long investigation:
“Former Special Robert Mueller’s startling admission that he failed to look at the origins of the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory opens the door for U.S. Attorney John Durham to conduct a complete and unfettered investigation into the whether the powers of intelligence agencies, State Department and the Justice Department were abused in an attempt to influence and negate the election of Donald Trump to the presidency. Words cannot describe how flabbergasted Americans should be that we have been dragged through three years of false political allegations and the person entrusted to get to the bottom of them proceeded with the assumption that people were guilty until proven innocent. Every prosecution resulting from the Mueller investigation should be evaluated by the President for potential pardon as they all resulted from fruit of a poison tree. Attorney General William Barr did the right thing in appointing U.S. Attorney Durham to get to the bottom of how we got into what is likely the biggest scandal in our intelligence services’ history. We await his and Inspector General Michael Horowitz’ forthcoming reports on these abuses.”
