On Friday’s edition of Real Time, host Bill Maher and his panel joined a long list of liberal media figures upset about the results of the Mueller report. Maher ended up dismissing the Mueller report altogether, arguing “I don’t need the Mueller report to know he’s a traitor. I have a TV.”

Maher began the segment by addressing the elephant in the room: “So, it finally happened, the Mueller report dropped today.” Maher complained, “I don’t think it looks good,” particularly expressing disappointment about “no further indictments, which means not Don, Jr., even after, ‘I love it’ memo.”

Maher asked “did the Democrats put too much trust in the Mueller Report?” He seemed to answer his own question by declaring “I don’t need the Mueller report to know he’s a traitor, I have a TV.” Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell agreed wholeheartedly with Maher, saying “if you have TV or a Twitter account, you’ve already seen obstruction of justice.”

Swalwell then said that “Mueller has to come before Congress and tell us its veracity” as Maher looked to him for reassurance that he will “make that happen.” Swalwell’s declaration that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has already drafted plans to subpoena Mueller led the audience to erupted into cheers and applause.

MSNBC National Security Analyst Evelyn Farkas tried to offer #TheResistance some optimism, saying “I don’t think we should all be doom and gloom. We don’t know what’s in it.” Farkas expressed her hope that Mueller “might actually paint a really fulsome picture of obstruction of justice but he’s a sitting President so I can’t indict...Congress, you do with it what you will.” Republican pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson reminded her Trump-hating counterparts that “there’s also the Southern District of New York that’s continuing its investigation into a lot of things that were outside of the scope of what Mueller was allowed to look into.”

The first part of the panel concluded with Swalwell saying that he still thought President Trump was guilty regardless of what Mueller concluded. According to Swalwell, “I also hope that we don’t allow him to criticize a report where he refused to testify when he was given the questions. He has no credibility. This report will be full of people who raised their right hand, went under oath, and it will not include him. So he has no credibility. The state of the evidence does not include him. And I think that’s important and that goes to a consciousness of guilt.”

It looks like Maher and his panel effectively declared President Trump guilty until proven innocent. It seems unlikely that Maher and many others in the liberal media will be willing to retract their convictions of President Trump as a Russian agent.
