Federalist Editor Mollie Hemingway put a tweet out Thursday following special counsel Robert Mueller’s congressional testimony Wednesday that suggested the script has flipped regarding any investigation into Russia collusion.
Bill Bennett says yesterday closed out the period of time when GOP was on defense over probes and now begins the time when they’re on offense.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board seems to agree, publishing a piece that insinuated every matter Mueller declared “beyond his purview” in his testimony should be investigated by Attorney General Barr’s DOJ:
Having failed to prove collusion and obstruction of justice, the cheerleaders of the Robert Mueller investigation are now highlighting his claim this week that Russia is still trying to interfere in U.S. elections. No doubt the Russians are. Which makes it all the more important that the Justice Department finish the half of the Russian-meddling probe that Mr. Mueller didn’t.
We’re referring to the areas that Mr. Mueller said this week were not in his “purview.” We counted nine times the former special counsel resorted to that answer, all in response to questions about the origin story of the FBI counterintelligence operation against the Trump campaign.
John Solomon of The Hill, who has really been the reason the Russia collusion story broke wide open, echoed both of those sentiments on Seb Gorka’s show when he told Gorka that Mueller, in demurring on the issue of Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, admitted there was another investigation looking into those things, a.k.a. Barr and his appointee Durham (video below).
Paybacks are hell, Dems.
