Krauthammer: Trump might not have been under investigation before, but he is now

Trump Claims 'Total And Complete Vindication' After Comey Hearing

Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer believes that President Trump is now under investigation by the Justice Department amid probes into ties between the Trump campaign and Russian election interference.

Recounting Thursday's high-profile Senate testimony from former FBI Director James Comey, Krauthammer said Trump was likely frustrated that Comey would not publicly confirm that he wasn't under investigation despite private assurances.

Krauthammer added that actions Trump made in frustration may have backfired.

"Comey handing over his notes to former [FBI] Director [Robert] Mueller, who is running the [special] investigation, means that Trump is now under investigation," Krauthammer said Friday during the Faith and Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority conference in Washington.

"That's the irony — all he was trying to do was to get the story out that he wasn't, but in pursuit of that, he created a string of events where it's likely, we don't know, he is under investigation."

laundering and so on.

I think there is a part to this we dont know about yet.

What we know, what is clear, trump is a criminal, an international criminal working with russian oligarchs and most certainly the russian mob.

Our authorities know this.

As many, including Rachel, Josh Marshall, Lawrence, and many high placed Democrats have speculated.

I don't often agree with Krauthammer, but he is no dummy. In this case, he very well may be correct.

Likely will cause them to be reprimanded.

I am sure that it is just static to whomever controls those sheeple.

A plague upon mankind, thanks a lot Fat Roger!

From CNN's timeline:

"May 22, 2017: CNN reports Mueller was briefed on the Comey memos and that his investigation will include obstruction of justice, and that Comey will likely be a witness in Mueller's probe."

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/10/politics/trump-comey-testimony-timeline-what-we-know/index.html

I found it interesting to read the timeline of events at this point and encourage others to do so.
