Trump calls for probe of Obama book deal

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Friday lashed out at Democrats over their ongoing investigations into his administration, suggesting there should instead be probes into former President Obama's book deal and other activities under his predecessor.

"They want to investigate, they want to go fishing and I watched Bob Mueller and they have nothing," Trump said of Democrats during an Oval Office gathering to announce an agreement with Guatemala.

"It's a disgrace," he continued. "We want to find out what happened the last Democrat president. Let's look into Obama the way they've looked into me. From day one they've looked into everything we've done."

"They could look into the book deal that President Obama made. Let's subpoena all of his records," Trump continued. "Let's subpoena all of the records having to do with Hillary Clinton and all of the nonsense that went on with Clinton and her foundation and everything else."

but I don't remember Obama/Biden, or anyone in their campaign, conspiring with Russians in order to beat McCain/Dumbshit. I don't recall them having 150 conversations with the Russians in the run-up to the 2016 election, either. Like I said, I might be mistaken, but I'm not. When you break laws and conspire with a foreign enemy nation to rig the election you invite investigations into your methods. When you make hush money payments to porn actresses, right before the election to keep them from blowing the lid off your campaign, you invite investigations into your actions.

Bottom line, Trump is such a criminal scum-sucking-pig there was never a chance that he wouldn't be investigated!

So blow it out your lard ass, Trumpie. You're a crooked son-of-a-bitch, you've always been a crooked son-of-a-bitch, and it's past time you were held accountable for a lifetime of crime and thumbing your nose at the law.

that "Seven people have pleaded guilty or been convicted in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, with one other person pleading guilty to charges brought after a referral by Mr. Mueller’s office. Another 27 individuals have been indicted, along with three Russian companies." --WSJ
