NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—In his first interview since being found guilty on all counts in his U.S. trial, the Mexican drug lord Joaquín (El Chapo) Guzmán called himself the victim of a “phony witch hunt.”
The former cartel leader made his blistering comments in a phone call to the television program “Fox & Friends,” whose hosts appeared surprised that he had somehow gained access to a phone and was able to get through to them.
“It was a phony witch hunt,” El Chapo said, of his trial. “It was a phony, r****d witch hunt, and the charges against me were f**e news and a disgrace.”
Questioned whether he had worked in concert with other drug lords to bring narcotics into the United States, El Chapo said, “There was no collusion. And there was no evidence of collusion, because there was no collusion.”
But the former drug kingpin reserved his harshest words for the F.B.I. and its former director James Comey.
“Lying and leaking Jim Comey is a showboat and a disaster,” he said.
Asked to give his impression of the American justice system, El Chapo said, “I think it’s very bad when someone like me, who is running a business and creating jobs and helping the economy, is harassed and treated unfairly. I think it’s a disgrace and, frankly, very sad.”

On another topic, have you heard that the Senate Intelligence Committee has found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign involving Russia for the 2016 campaign? Hmmmm.

Now even the Venezuelan Dictator Maduro calls Trump a r****t proving that our Progressive t*****rs give enemy despots ammunition against America. Lest we forget also that new Muslim, Jew hating, Democrat, hooded female icon congress-chippie also blames Trump for her r****t and anti-Jewish comments. Trump is not a r****t but you'll never convince a single prog. Progressives are a danger to everything they touch. There is not one single redeeming characteristic they possess.

The GOP side that is in charge, or the dems, there is one dems who promised to leak their findings with redactions for classified sensitive things still under investigation even if the GOP refuses to make them public.
That statement that there were no findings of collusion was a carefully worded play on the word collusion. We already know that Manafort intentionally worked with Russians to give them e******n sensitive information during the e******n, that my friends is collusion whether Trump had direct knowledge or not.

Even after the Mueller investigation , aka Hillary insurance policy, folds up shop without finding any wrongdoing by Trump, you die-hard never-Trumpers won’t be satisfied. You’ll overlook all of his incredible accomplishments and focus on imperfections. Guess what? We’re all imperfect.
But on a scale of p**********l accomplishments, Trump will go down as one of the greatest!

One of the greatest threats to American democracy, maybe, but that's about all.
