[See NewsBusters for more.] After weeks of Andrea Mitchell Reports repeating Chinese Communist Party talking points, Andrea Mitchell and former FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence and current MSNBC contributor Frank Figliuzzi declared on Friday without any evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin had something to do with Justice Department's decision to drop the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
After Mitchell had summarized recent happenings in the case, Mitchell saw something sinister in the Thursday phone call between President Trump and Putin, "Frank, first, all of the implications here and the fact they then he called Vladimir Putin yesterday, and according to the White House announcement of this and description of it, there was no mention of the Russia probe and the election probe. But the president himself discussed that with Vladimir Putin and the in fact his view now that the Russian hoax was dispelled, they could get back to business."
