A former spokesperson for Attorney General Bill Barr's Justice Department was buried under an avalanche of criticism on Sunday after she boasted on ABC's "This Week" that Robert Mueller's report "exonerated" former President Donald Trump.
Appearing on the ABC program, attorney Sarah Isgur Flores proclaimed the report "for the most part" exonerated Trump with regard to Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election.
While no one on the ABC panel pushed back at her assertion, a battle broke out on Twitter -- with Isgur Flores participating -- where conservatives and liberals alike pointed out that she was completely wrong.

@whignewtons Mueller literally wrote in the report that he wasn't exonerated. I read it. He wasn't found "not guilty" either.— Lolly (@Lolly) 1624815132.0
