Trump Goes After Mueller: 'Public Opinion Has Turned Strongly Against the Rigged Witch Hunt'

Source: Mediate



by Josh Feldman | 4:50 pm, July 7th, 2018

-snip-




The President did not mention Mueller by name, though you’ll notice the quotes around “special.”

This tweet was initially posted with the wrong spelling of “counsel” (again), but was taken down and corrected minutes later:



This comes as his own legal team is setting new conditions for an interview with Mueller.

He thinks he's a cross between Don Rickles and Frank Sinatra on stage. He's trying hard to overcome the fact that he's the enemy within, the enemy below, and generally the enemy of The State and the People Of the USA.

Absolutely everything he does is part of his design to retain power and continue to enrich himself.

This is no different. It matters not at all what the real public opinion numbers are to him and his cult. He tweets it and his cult believes it and repeats it in their bubble.

please tell us your thoughts on Paul Manafort’s legal quandary? Do you have any insight for us as regards your EX-lawyer, Michael Cohen, who has now become a GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOT just in the last 6 days? Have you any words of wisdom for us about your dear old friend Michael Flynn?

Oh and, sir, have you chatted today with your “OUTSTANDING” pal Jim Jordan? And how could I forget, have you communicated lately with that best-ever covfefe boy who once volunteered at your Trump Shithole Tower...uhhh, oh, Felix Sater? What’s he been up to?

But before we wrap up this engrossing interview, we hear that this bigmouthed, publicity-seeking ambulance-chasing porn lawyer who spends most his time in “gin mills” (per your own lawyer, Roodi Giuliani) - well, word has it he might be running for president against you someday, and he says he could KICK YOUR ASS in an election. What say you?!”

No? Nothing? Not one peep from the man who literally can’t shut up??

Fine, then maybe you need to go ahead and

FUCK RIGHT OFF

Trump team knows the Cohen tapes and documents will likely show proof Trump is in financial debt to some oligarchs so he is doing about the only thing Trump can do and that's try and knock on the investigators. I expect info about Cohen tapes coming out this week because Trump team has seen those tapes and documents as well and they leak like a sieve. I also expect those on the US are going to do their own work at controlling the media. Trump has been controlling the media by Tweets calling this a witchhunt because the FBI has been letting him as they are investigating Trump. They got some stuff and now are going to take the media back from old man grifter Trump.

This next week should be phenomenal!

and number of lies per day. (I read somewhere that his number of lies/day has ?doubled? ?tripled?in the last few weeks, compared to the preceding year.

I also read somewhere (no link - a comment I noticed on Facebook, so can't confirm) that
"A rumor is circulating in British banking and legal circles that a revelation about Trump's ties to a personal slush fund of Putin's will be revealed on the day he arrives in Britain."

Whether or not this particular tidbit is true, things are definitely heating up, right in sync with his growing hysteria.

Something about British Intel finding some connection between Trump and Russian money that was put into the Trump campagn cofffers. Is there anyway we can just like revoke Trumps citizenship when he is out of the country next week so he cant come back? It would be worth losing Air Force 1 to Russia if we are thru with Trump!

Since he has already betrayed our country on so many levels, it is certainly more appropriate to revoke his citizenship than that of those naturalized citizens targeted by his @#$ "denaturalization task force."

And, hey, Air Force 1 is slated for replacement or renovation anyway.

12. Trump declares that public opinion has 'turned strongly against' Mueller
Sat Jul 7, 2018, 06:17 PM
Jul 2018

BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 07/07/18 04:46 PM EDT

President Trump claimed Saturday that public opinion has “turned strongly against” special counsel Robert Mueller and his probe into Russian efforts to meddle in the 2016 election.

Trump tweeted that the public has turned against the "Rigged Witch Hunt" because they understand "that there was no Collusion with Russia."

Trump's tweet came a day after his attorney Rudy Giuliani argued in a New York Times interview that public opinion over Mueller's probe is moving toward Trump "big time."

“Nobody is going to consider impeachment if public opinion has concluded this is an unfair investigation, and that’s why public opinion is so important,” Giuliani told the newspaper.

Trump Gang should be wanting the last thing on any voters' minds approaching Nov 2018 be "impeachment".

If Nov 2018 has a blue wave (how big?) then impeachment becomes an issue, and at that time it is okay for T gang to mention it. But mentioning it now is bad framing because it makes the word more current and gets people thinking about it.
