Prosecutor to Trump: Shut Up or Face Gag Order From Russia Probe Special Counsel

Special Counsel Robert Mueller could gag President Donald Trump if he criticizes and attempts to influence the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump camp and Russia, according to a Watergate prosecutor.

The president lashed out at George Papadopoulos on Tuesday, after court records revealed that the former campaign aide pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI – indicating that he is cooperating with Mueller’s investigation.

According to an FBI affidavit, Papadopulos attempted to broker a meeting between the Trump campaign and Kremlin officials several times during the election campaign.

“Few people knew the young, low level volunteer named George, who has already proven to be a liar,” Trump posted on Twitter shortly after 8am local time, adding: “Check the DEMS!”

Attorney Nick Akerman, a prosecutor in the Watergate investigations, told Politico Friday that Mueller could issue a gagging order to prevent the president interfering with the investigation.

Mueller and all his stooges should be fired, then they themselves need to be investigated.

If I was the President

And the Congress call my name

I'd say "who do

Who do you think you're fooling?"

I've got the Presidential Seal

I'm up on the Presidential Podium

My mama loves me

She loves me

She gets down on her knees and hugs me
