“The Mueller probe should never have been started in that there was no collusion and there was no crime. It was based on fraudulent activities and a Fake Dossier paid for by Crooked Hillary and the DNC, and improperly used in FISA COURT for surveillance of my campaign. WITCH HUNT!” the commander-in-chief raged.
He followed up with a second tweet targeting Mueller on Saturday.
“Why does the Mueller team have 13 hardened Democrats, some big Crooked Hillary supporters, and Zero Republicans? Another Dem recently added…does anyone think this is fair? And yet, there is NO COLLUSION!” he wrote.
Several GOP lawmakers voiced support for Mueller after the tweetstorm.
Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina said that if Trump fired Mueller, it would mark the beginning of the end of his presidency, while Rep. Trey Gowdy, also of South Carolina, said that if Trump was innocent, he should stop acting like he’s guilty.
But McConnell made no public comments until Tuesday.
Meanwhile, administration spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended Trump’s tweets, saying that the president was “frustrated” that the probe was ongoing despite his repeated protestations of innocence.
“To pretend like going through this absurd process for over a year would not bring frustration seems a little bit ridiculous,” she said.
“Clearly, we have not been shy about the fact that there is frustration of this process. We would like it to end quickly and soon and the president has contended since day one and will continue to do so, that there was absolutely no collusion between his campaign and any outside force or country and so I don’t understand why it’s hard for anyone to process,” she continued.
Trump, she said, “had been attacked mercilessly and continuously day in, day out, every single second” since taking office.
These are very very evil people.
McConnell is guilty of corruption.
Mueller stands between him and prison.
Mueller is a dirty cop.
McConnell defends Mueller.
Despicable piece of Republican crap.
By the time they’re done with Mulehead, he won’t get a dinner invite to a fight at Chuckie Cheese.
The whole debacle needs to be brought to a swift end with Trump firing the Special Persecutor.
Where does it say anywhere that Trump is going to fire Mulehead? It’s just wishful thinking on the never Trumpers part.
McConnel should be investigated for Collusion with the Chinese
This he was told by the patriotic military (those against Obama).
If Trump had failed, I have no doubt that the USMC (and other loyal patriots) would have effected a counter coup to rescue this country from the Commies who thought they had overthrown it.
They will face a firing squad...and we will toast their demise.
Hey Barky...how do you like us now?
The entire Washington “insider” crowd is all for themselves and to hell with the American people...
this whole Fire Mueller thingy is made up BS........
Robert Mueller has credibility like Mitch McConnell has credibility.
Useless GOP a**holes. Every one of them.
All bought and paid for including “Mr. Nothingburger Gowdy”.
Complete deep state criminals.
These bastards are going to lose like you won’t believe this fall and they love the idea.
We should just fire McConnell instead.
What a treacherous little troll he is.
Actually if I could pick between Mueller or McConnell I’d pick obstructionist McConnell. He is the primary reason the Republican agenda has hit a brick wall. Oh, wait he is the brick wall!
McConnell and Sessions on the same side.
Who could have seen that coning?
S/
Dispicable GOPe POS. We need to find a way to replace this jerk McConnell ASAP. He’s working for the swamp alligators
Trump is smoking out the swamp RINOs
the usual suspects come out to defend
Linda
McTurtle
Flakey
follow the money
McConnell, of McConnell/Chao.
I am eagerly looking forward to reading Schweizer’s new book, in which they are prominently featured.
The Head RINO speaks.
But not for Trump voters.
I am getting REALLY tired of the RINOs taking pot shots at President Trump.
The one thing democrats are good at is standing behind their guy. No dissension in the ranks.
These freaking Never-Trumpers WANT fauxahauntis or plugs or even hiLIARy.
Someone needs to get them into a freaking room and beat them with a rubber hose until they finally get with the program.
