Rep. Adam Schiff And Bill Maher Fist-Bump Over Dems Fox News Thaw

Bill Maher returned from a week off to find the Mueller Report was out, and unsatisfying, “like All the Presidents Men meets Al Capones vault — what the f*ck?” the avowed Democrat groused during his opening monologue of HBOs Real Time on Friday.
