I hate to be cynical here, but I believe that Senator Warner is simply responding to what his internal polls are telling him&#8211;Americans are beginning to realize that Mueller&#8217;s investigation was a sham from the beginning. I suspect you will hear more Democrats become reluctant to accuse President Trump of anything as his popularity ratings soar. It is going to be an interesting summer&#8211;for many reasons.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Daily Caller posted an article today about some recent statements by Virginia Senator Mark Warner.
