p.s. he thinks you're investigating Hillary




“There has been no evidence whatsoever that Donald Trump or the campaign was involved in any kind of collusion to fix the 2016 election. In fact the evidence is the opposite, that Hillary Clinton & the Democrats colluded with the Russians to fix the 2016 election.” @GrahamLedger

It's because he's hoping news people will read his texts verbatim, and thus listeners will perceive what they're hearing ... as though it's 'factual' rather than just Trumps own claim.

IOW to give the news consumer the impression they're receiving 'facts', not just 'what trump said'.

Contrast:
"Nobody has shown that I colluded with Russia"
vs
"Nobody has shown that Donald Trump colluded with Russia"

... when read verbatim by a newsperson. The former case, it's obviously Trump saying it. The latter case comes off sounding like the opinion of a third party, and hence 'more valid' in the listeners mind.

A subpoena might not be coming for a target...which the president is becoming more every day...

A target cannot be asked to self incriminate..
