Trump says Mueller shouldn't testify

Trump on Sunday said special counsel Robert Mueller should not testify on the findings of his probe into Russia's election interference, suggesting the move was an attempt by Democrats to renew scrutiny on the White House after the release of Mueller's long-awaited report.

"After spending more than $35,000,000 over a two year period, interviewing 500 people, using 18 Trump Hating Angry Democrats & 49 FBI Agents - all culminating in a more than 400 page Report showing NO COLLUSION - why would the Democrats in Congress now need Robert Mueller to testify," Trump said in a pair of tweets.

"Are they looking for a redo because they hated seeing the strong NO COLLUSION conclusion? There was no crime, except on the other side (incredibly not covered in the Report), and NO OBSTRUCTION. Bob Mueller should not testify. No redos for the Dems!"

Anticipation has been growing for Mueller to testify before Congress after it was revealed he expressed frustration with the way Attorney General William Barr presented his investigation's findings to the public.

Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) on Sunday said the House Judiciary Committee is aiming to bring in Mueller on May 15 but that "nothing has been agreed to yet."

If you're innocent Donny then won't Mueller say so? Methinks thou doth protest too much.

2. Unless "I have resigned the Presidency..." is part of what Trump says, my bag of fucks is empty...

One other caveat, I would be happy or read with interest and zeal if it said "President Trump said X,Y,Z only seconds before suffering a fatal cardiac event. Doctors say he was dead before his corpse bounced off the pavement."

Otherwise, fuck him and anything else he says.

6. He's complaining about $35 million over a 2-year period? Isn't that

9. I thought the Mueller report completely exonerated him.

$35 mil? That's like a third of Baron Golfin von Fatfuk's golf costs.
