Trump continues ranting 'witch hunt must end' -- even as Mueller reportedly nears probe's completion

Source: RawStory




President Donald Trump insisted investigators would find no evidence of collusion, even as special counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly neared completion of his Russia probe.

The White House reportedly expects Mueller to turn in his report any day now to newly confirmed attorney general William Barr, and the president tweeted out an all-caps denial of wrongdoing during the 2016 election involving Russian interference.

“Highly respected Senator Richard Burr, head of Senate Intelligence, said, after interviewing over 200 witnesses and studying over 2 million pages of documents, ‘WE HAVE FOUND NO COLLUSION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA,'” Trump tweeted. “The Witch Hunt, so bad for our Country, must end!”

The evidence against them shows Trump is LYING . Has been since forever about Russia.

We know how to read between the lines.

does he really expect that anyone is listening or will do anything? He seems to be pathetically screaming into the void of cyberspace

The more he screams, the more guilty and unhinged he looks. He has gotten by in life by lying about pretty much everything for decades, but now it isn't working, so he just lies louder and more often. A wiser man would just shut the hell up, but he can't help himself.

All this language about Mueller and "Deep State" running a "coup" is highly inflammatory and very dangerous.

Mueller is filing a Manafort sentencing report today. I distrust ALL stories that a final report is near.

.... like the fact that he is racist and flashes them "the white power" gang sign.

I was at a service for my Dad last weekend and a very distinguished professor of
Political Science agreed to the 25% figure.
