Blumenthal to Trump: Your 'bullying' tactics won't protect you in Russia probe

Source: The Hill

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) fired back at President Trump on Monday, saying his bullying tactics will not protect him from the ongoing Russia collusion investigation being led by special counsel Robert Mueller.

"Mr. President: Your bullying hasn't worked before and it won't work now. No one is above the law," Blumenthal tweeted.

"This issue isn't about me - it's about the Special Counsel's independence and integrity," he added.

Trump attacked the Connecticut lawmaker earlier Monday, calling him a "phony Vietnam con artist."

Interesting to watch Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut talking about hoax Russian collusion when he was a phony Vietnam con artist!



Trump went into a tweet-rage after watching Blumenthal on CNN this morning.

show us your tax returns, one way or another we are going to see those returns. And my feeling is that your are nothing more than a go between for the Russian Mafia and money laundering, bedsides being a traitor, and that Wilbur Ross was in on it

And your one to talk about Vietnam con artist here lets remind your deplorable's about con artist in Vietnam: All you have to do there zippy is do the following and look at line number 10

And then we can add this "FACT"

And since you like to run around and say everything is "fake news" lets try this for added enjoyment

Likely a false quote, but oh so relevant nonetheless!

I imagine that scumbag Stephen Miller's face in the pic.

It would probably make him very proud!

and perfected his methods. Sadly the children and grandchildren of the vets of WWII have thrown the lessons of the war out of the window. It feels as if the horrors of the past 100 years have been purposely edited so none will remember and stay vigilant.

I was so riled, could hardly speak. Told staff am so proud of the Senator from my Nutmeg birth state. He responded with class and I'm grateful for him and all our Dem senators and reps standing up to the travesty we are witnessing. He thanked me profusely.
(I was almost shaking. Now my head hurts.)

i'm confident we will be able to get Agent Orange out of the WH eventually and won't have to put up with such a disgraceful man. We just need to let Mueller's investigation take its course. Don't get too worked up over it, 45 is not worth our time or energy to get mad. We just need to get even by supporting Dems running for office and doing what we can to rally voters to get out and vote next year . .

This slimy utterance from dirtbag really hit 'home'.
I should be more in control of my emotions before flying off the handle. Haven't wizened up yet even at my chronological age. 🙄
Should know better'n let the squatter in The Peoples' House push my buttons so.
Yet, I hold on to hope.
Waiting for "It's Mueller Time"! 🍻 🎆 💗 ? 🗽

7. Trump claimed he had a bone spur that stopped him serving, but can't remember which foot
Mon Aug 7, 2017, 02:36 PM

He hasn't a leg to stand on, so to speak. He thinks that having been sent to a military school because of his psychological problems makes him a military expert, although he must have been one of the very few from such a school to lie his way out of any sort of service at that time.

I don't know if serving in Vietnam could have turned him into an acceptable human being, but I sure wish it had happened.

10. If he had actually gone to Vietnam, he would have gotten fragged.

Most likely, with Daddy's connections, if he were sent anywhere, he would have gotten an REMF posting somewhere.
