Trump ramps up attacks on Mueller

President Trump started Thursday on Twitter the same way he ended it on Wednesday, attacking special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign.

"Did you ever see an investigation more in search of a crime?" he asked in an early morning tweet.

"A total disgrace!" he added.

Trump in a subsequent tweet asked when "will this illegal Joseph McCarthy style Witch Hunt, one that has shattered so many innocent lives, ever end," adding that it has proven there was "NO Collusion with Russia."

Wednesday night, Trump tweeted that "so much happening with the now discredited Witch Hunt."

"This total Hoax will be studied for years!"

He also began Wednesday on Twitter by calling the Russia investigation "our Joseph McCarthy Era!"

The tweets followed the special counsel’s assertion in court filing that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort violated his plea agreement. Mueller's team alleges that he “committed federal crimes by lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Special Counsel’s Office on a variety of subject matters, which constitute breaches of the agreement.”

New reports also emerged on Tuesday that Manafort’s attorney had been sharing information with lawyers for Trump about Manafort’s cooperation with the Mueller probe.

Trump did nothing to tamp down speculation that Manafort is seeking a presidential pardon, telling the New York Post on Wednesday that it was not “off the table.”

Wednesday, Trump threatened to declassify documents related to Russia that he claimed would damage Democrats. He has consistently claimed that the probe is run by a “gang” of Democrats.

Are things coming to a head?

I’d say he didn’t like one of the questions....but being the person he is...he is fearless....and more than likely...right.

Just wish he would give us a Christmas present and release the documents. Enough already.

Bongino's book "Spygate" paints a highly detailed account of the Obama govt's MO to stop candidate Trump:
<><> how the Obama administration criminalized the US intel apparat,
<><> how Obama criminalized other government agencies. Trump was elected despite these efforts,
so Obama had to work fast to bring down the new President of the United States.

That explains the goofy, OMG! look on the Halfrican's face when he met Pres-elect Trump.
All the dirt Hillary was expected to sweep under the rug, was now in the hands of the man Obama tried to destroy.

"How'm I gonna get out of this mess with him as president?" "I know .....we'll lie like hell.....nail Trump with Russian collusion charges."

I beg to differ with the President on one account, McCarthy was right and the Venona papers proved him so.

Are things coming to a head?

Mueller indictments are going to be unsealed shortly.

When they are, that's when Trump releases the unredacted FISA warrants.

Does this mean that Chief Justice Roberts is on the back burner???

That's not fair. It's not fair to Joe McCarthy. Whatever McCarthy's failings and errors may or may not have been, he was right about the larger, underlying proposition. There actually were significant numbers of communist infiltrators throughout our government, and the Truman administration was doing nothing about it. Whatever the specifics of this case or that case, that underlying proposition remains true.

Mueller doesn't even have that going for him. There is NOTHING -- zero, zip, nada -- to support the allegation that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to steal the election from Clinton. In fact, an honest look at the evidence suggests that it's quite the opposite: it was the Clinton campaign that colluded with Russia and other foreign entities, to the detriment of the Trump campaign.

Another day, another angry tweet. And McCarthy was right about everything.
