President Trump took to Twitter this morning to launch yet another attack on Special Counsel Robert Mueller in a transparent attempt to undermine the former FBI director’s credibility and to paint himself and his team as the real victims in all this.
Beset by the news that his campaign manager Paul Manafort was just exposed lying to federal investigators and had been holding secret meetings with the founder of the transparency organization which published Hillary Clinton’s hacked emails, Julian Assange of Wikileaks, Trump decided to fan the flames of conspiracy and tried to paint Special Counsel Mueller and his gang of “Angry Democrats” as operating outside the law on a partisan mission to stop him:
The Phony Witch Hunt continues, but Mueller and his gang of Angry Dems are only looking at one side, not the other. Wait until it comes out how horribly & viciously they are treating people, ruining lives for them refusing to lie. Mueller is a conflicted prosecutor gone rogue….

….The Fake News Media builds Bob Mueller up as a Saint, when in actuality he is the exact opposite. He is doing TREMENDOUS damage to our Criminal Justice System, where he is only looking at one side and not the other. Heroes will come of this, and it won’t be Mueller and his…

….terrible Gang of Angry Democrats. Look at their past, and look where they come from. The now $30,000,000 Witch Hunt continues and they’ve got nothing but ruined lives. Where is the Server? Let these terrible people go back to the Clinton Foundation and “Justice” Department!

His ranting and ravings grow more incomprehensible by the day. The “Justice” Department that he’s complaining about is now under his control, and nobody involved on Mueller’s team has anything to do with the Clinton Foundation.
At this point, he’s just jamming together as many buzzwords and boogeymen he can into a single tweet in order to try to convince his followers and the rest of the world that something illicit is afoot.
One has to wonder how long it’s going to be before he accuses Mueller of being in league with George Soros in order to fund the caravan of immigrants to invade the United States.
But as always, the biggest takeaway is how hard the president is projecting. Throughout his career, Trump is notorious for accusing others of what he himself is guilty of; so when you see him screech about how Mueller is doing “tremendous damage to our criminal justice system,” know that it is Trump himself who is doing that by undermining the Special Counsel’s credibility and doing everything he can to obstruct justice in a doomed attempt to save his own skin.
