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.

Well said.
Agree 100% and I emailed Varney to remove this NeverTrumper clown and Hillary voter from his guest list. The Emoluments Clause argument is for know-nothing loons.
By many orders of magnitude, I trust Trump's instincts over yours any day and twice on Sundays.
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...

I know this. I see a Deep State coup d’etat that is on the open. We are quickly approaching a Constitutional crisis.
Defeating the Deep State, all its works and all its minions, is a hill worth dying on.
There is a struggle going on right now in America and Europe in which the ‘lords’ seek to impose a new feudalism and a new dark age. They must be defeated at any cost.
May God damn them and all their works. That is not a curse. That is a prayer.
Not necessarily. Perhaps he just didn't put the words "made up" before the charge.
LMAO!!! So, NOW weasel face Comey has a ‘special relationsip’ not only with Russia, but with Putin himself! This MUST be investigated! This CANNOT be tolerated!
Fire comey
It’s a no win situation. The Republicans are President Trump’s worst enemy. I am done with the BS GOP. This is a Salem Which Hunt of modern times. They will find something and undoubtedly will hurt this administration no matter what the outcome.DOJ,FBI,NSA etc is full of anti-Trumpers. AG Sessions is of no use to counter the onslaught by President Trump’s enemies coming from all directions. Keeping Comey and appointing Mueller is absolutely insane and all on the Administration. We don’t like the Julius Caesar analogy, but this is where we are in Washington DC 2017;the Republic is in extreme peril.
Fire Mueller.
Fire and jail Rosenstein.
Oh dummy me, which = witch
Gawd I’m getting so sick and tired of this. The left just won’t give up. If they can’t nail him on one thing, they bring up something else. They just won’t give the man a chance to breath or do his job, and that of course, is their ultimate goal.
Rosenstein and Mueller must be terminated.
no Scooter Libby setups....
They know there is no basis to any of the rumors but we haven't heard about healthcare repeal in weeks now.
Should be time to focus on busting serial killer cannibals and terrorists than bothering with a frivolous case.
That’s why Trump is surely guilty... of Obstruction of Attempted Coup. Here’s where he wins and is smarter than Nixon. He fights back.
Press Gaggle by Principal Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, 6/15/2017
Q Sarah, on Bob Mueller, is there anything you can tell us more about when he came in to interview for the job, what the President was looking at offering him? Was it acting FBI director? Was it actually FBI director? Why didn't the White House tell us more about that at the time when you did announce other people who were coming in for the director job?MS. SANDERS: My understanding is he was actually here the day before he was named as a special counsel. In terms of specific job, whether it was acting or permanent, I'm not sure, and I'd have to check and get back to you.
Q But it was a job interview?
MS. SANDERS: That's my understanding, yes.
Q And does the White House believe that that presents any kind of conflict, that sequence of events you just described? The day before he's supposed to be the independent, outside counsel, he was meeting, presumably, with the President directly to talk about --
MS. SANDERS: No, since that's something he wouldn't have been aware of.
Q Sorry, the President wasn't aware of --
MS. SANDERS: Wouldn't have been aware of the naming of a special counsel at that time.
Q So it's not a conflict?
MS. SANDERS: Right.
