Citation, please: Rep. Nadler says Mueller couldn't prove a criminal conspiracy because 'lots of people destroyed evidence'

On “Good Morning America” on Friday, Rep. Jerry Nadler unleashed a whopper, saying Special Counsel Robert Mueller “wasn’t able to prove a criminal conspiracy, and one of the reasons he said he wasn’t able to do it was that lots of people destroyed evidence, perjured themselves.”

Um, that’s not what the report said:

There is nothing in the report that suggests Mueller believed what Nadler is saying. https://t.co/wwUeb3X3Vu

Maybe Rep. Nadler can point us to the page where he read this?

And this is our shocked face:

You mean they are lying about the investigation that they lied about to get started and lied about for the past two years? Color ME shocked!

What’s amazing is that Rep. Nadler doesn’t even believe his own BS, or else he’d certainly call for impeachment proceedings to begin, right?

Asked whether he could open impeachment proceedings, House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler tells @GMA, "We're not there."
