Trump: 'They Made Up a Phony Russia Collusion Story, Now They Go for Obstruction of Justice'
PJ Media ^ | 06-15-2017 | Michael van der Galien

Posted on 06/15/2017 7:05:48 AM PDT by Michael van der Galien

Well, this is historic:

TRUMP TWEETS: "They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice."

As Jonah Seiger points out, it's difficult to interpret this in any other way than Trump admitting he's under investigation. That's a shocker since the Washington Post, who reported on this matter, only quoted some anonymous sources. In the last few months, we've frequently seen such sources share, well, less than accurate information.

Apparently, Trump believes (or knows?) the report to be correct.

Still, none of that means, of course, that he has become a sitting duck. If there's one politician in America who knows how to fight back when under attack, it's Trump. And yes, this tweet makes clear that this is exactly what he plans to do: to fight back whenever and wherever he can.

In fact, he immediately posted another tweet after the one quoted above:

TRUMP TWEETS: "You are witnessing the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history - led by some very bad and conflicted people! #MAGA"

Is this an attack on special investigator Mueller? If so, does this mean that Mueller may soon get fired?

As matters are, Trump is wise to let Mueller do his job. He has nothing to fear. Firstly, there is indeed no evidence of him personally colluding with the Russians and, secondly, he had every right to fire former FBI director James Comey, for whatever reason he saw fit. Mueller can investigate Trump as much as he wants, but Democrats' wishes do not the law make.

Watching Ralph Peters on Fox Business, and his anti-Trump rhetoric is terrible. What a worthless POS he’s become!

You can bet Obama and the Clintons get a daily report from Mueller

He should fire him.

Yup, plain as day. And Ryan, Mclame, et al just go along with it.
I understand what their end-game is, but they are as clueless to "unintended consequences" as the Libs who push for gun confiscation

It’s monkeys flinging poo, and it doesn’t even have to stick because they will still make noise. You think Bush Derangement Syndrome was bad, Trump Derangement Syndrome is much worse.

With all due respect Mr. President, this was the plan from day one. It is the Scooter Libby and John Doe Wisconsin model.

Lets not pretend. The Bush clan and the Gop leadership hate Trump more than anyone. They are the ones who have pushed the Nwo from the beginning. Obama and Clinton work for the Bush family.

No. The Deep State is already damaging Trump's standing among low-information Americans with the constant innuendo, constant suggestions of wrong-doing, and constant negative headlines. They will search and search until they find someone, somewhere, who mis-speaks or acts inappropriately in some way. Just look at what Comey's friend Patrick Fitzgerald did to Scooter Libby, even though he KNEW all along Libby was the not the leaker of DC cocktail circuit socialite Valerie Plame's CIA work.

This is a two bladed sword:

If President Trump closes down this mess, he will be accused of hiding the findings...

But yet, to heal the Nation, he has the power in his Office to do just that...

So is he going to let this play out, he isn't guilty of anything, but there are many that are...or is he going to try and heal the Nation and stop it...

I really don't know what I would do...

Why would they do that? He’s the perfect image for today’s Fox.

Ralph Peters is the one who said he was going to vote for Hillary.

Of course there is no evidence. Mueller will manufacture it as needed.

Rosenstein blew it or was in on it. He reacted instantly with the Special Prosecutor. He knew ahead of time. Sessions must fire him.

Trump interviewed Mueller to head the FBI, after Comey was fired and a day or two before Mueller was appointed SC.

Andrew McCarthy already debunked this. The russian-collusion witch hunt/investigation is was/is a counter-intelligence investigation. not a criminal (justice) investigation.
