Sounding like someone who has a good idea about what to expect from today’s long awaited release of the DOJ inspector general’s report, Sen. Richard Blumenthal took to Twitter to dismiss the anticipated reaction from President Donald Trump and his supporters.
Which prompts the obvious question, why is Blumenthal so nervous?
“Spoiler alert: President Trump’s cronies have already readied their talking points to exaggerate & distort the facts of tomorrow’s DOJ IG report and spin them into a false narrative about the Special Counsel investigation,” Blumenthal tweeted Wednesday.
“I’m calling it now: no matter what the DOJ IG report actually says,” the Democrat continued in a second tweet, “President Trump’s sycophantic supporters will try to claim that somehow he is the victim of FBI wrongdoing & bias. Talk about fake news.”

The irony of Blumenthal, who lied about his service in Vietnam, lecturing others about a “false narrative” being laughable.
He continued in a series of tweets to say the president will use the results of the report to claim FBI bias against him.
The more President Trump tries to use tomorrow’s report to claim FBI bias, the more ridiculous his supposed justification for firing FBI Director Jim Comey looks. (As if it ever passed the laugh test to begin with.) He said it himself: it was “this Russia thing.”

That he brings up Hillary Clinton’s email scandal is instructive in what to expect on Thursday. And even though by now, no one in America questions Trump’s decision to fire former FBI director James Comey, Blumenthal is still fighting that battle.
One social media user summed up well the Connecticut senator’s tweets.
“Looks like the dems are already in damage control. Report hasn’t even come out yet,” the tweet read.

Here’s a sampling of other reactions that shows the American people remember his lies about Vietnam, and can read between the lines.

By your posts you can assume its going to be really bad and are attempting to defuse it before hand.

What gives you the right to call over sixty-five million Americans names? You think if you label us, no one will pay attention to what we say? You are wrong. Beware of the silent majority who knows what you’re doing.

You are already accusing conservatives of “exaggerating and distorting facts” when no one has seen the IG report yet. Dems running scared? Methinks thou doth protest too much!

You know damn right well what this report will show. You know no investigation was even needed to prove there were missteps at the top level of DOJ and FBI. We, the people, know the facts. It’s your lot who can’t, won’t and outright refuse to face facts.
