WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)The special counsel Robert Mueller announced on Saturday that he was closing the Justice Departments Russia investigation, effective immediately, after hearing that President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, said he was innocent of any election meddling.
Moments after learning about Putins assertion, Mueller hastily assembled his staff of investigators to inform them that, now that Putin had fully exonerated himself, there was no point in continuing the probe.
Vladimir Putin says he did nothing, Mueller told his staff. Thats good enough for me.
Speaking later to reporters, Mueller said that, by disbanding his investigation, he was following the time-honored law-enforcement tradition of taking a suspects word for it.
For the past several months, weve assembled tax records, cell-phone recordings, bank transfers, and e-mail communications that indicated Russia was involved in the election, a visibly shaken Mueller said. Somehow, we got it wrongvery, very wrong.
