Today’s quote comes to us from brian williamson, the former NBC News anchor who was fired from that position for lying about his past.
Now on MSNBC, williamson broke into coverage of today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing after Chairperson Linsey Graham said :
“So, no collusion. No coordination. No conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government regarding the 2016 election.”
The reason for williamson’s break-in? To inform MSNBC’s viewers, and co-host Nicolle Wallace, of the following – our Quote Of The Day:
“We’re reluctant to do this. We rarely do, but the chairman of the Judiciary Committee just said that Mueller found there was no collusion. That is not correct. Nicolle Wallace, the report says collusion is not a thing they considered. It doesn’t exist in federal code.”
Was williamson correct?
Well, with a tip of my imaginary hat to David Rutz at freebeacon.com, whose article I am pulling these quotes from, here are the exact words from mueller’s report (bold print is mine):
“Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”
I award brian williamson Quote Of The Day “honors” for showing that he is every bit as big a liar now as he was when NBC bounced him from its Nightly News anchor chair.
Oh, and with another imaginary hat tip to David Rutz, let me mention that, after williamson lied, MSNBC put this up on the screen while coverage continued:
I guess williamson isn’t the only liar over there.
My biggest takeaway from the QotD is,
the report says collusion is not a thing they considered. It doesn’t exist in federal code.”
Finally, after more than 2 years they admit that collusion isn’t a crime.
Ken, was this quote in the running?
“Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them in the world unwanted, unloved, you send them to the electric chair. So, you kill them now or you kill them later.”
