WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trumps Twitter cannon roared over the weekend as the latest turn in the Russia investigation seemingly placed him on the defensive. He denied he had ever absolved Russia of meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, despite his plentiful record of voicing doubts on that question.
Resurrecting an old tale from the campaign, Trump also described a diplomatic transaction between the U.S. and Iran during the Obama years as a dark plot that should have been investigated by U.S. authorities. The transaction actually was money the U.S. owed to Iran from decades ago and one in a series of claims that were addressed by an international tribunal set up by both countries.
Trumps rash of tweets followed an indictment released Friday charging 13 Russians with running a massive social media trolling campaign and field operations in the U.S. aimed in part at helping him defeat his 2016 Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. The case brought by special counsel Robert Mueller provided the most concrete evidence yet of Russian attempts to subvert the election.

Yeah, sure...I get my news from the AP—the All Poo-poo.
Hyperbole overdose.
Every time Trump tweets about something he doesn’t like, the media turns it into Trump having a meltdown.
And the chickenhearted “conservatives” bemoan Trump’s tweets for giving them ammunition.
What a nation of hothouse flowers we’ve become.
Who the hell do they think they're fooling?
He indicted Russians because he knows he'll never be able to get at them.
This is an American version of finding the escaped former head of state guilt of "crimes against humanity" after the coup!
We had specific laws forbidding this yet it happened
