President Donald Trump is once again pushing conspiracy theories on his Twitter account.

On Tuesday, Trump posted a clip from Fox News of his television defense attorney, Rudy Guiliani, calling special counsel Robert Mueller a “hitman.”

Fox News personality Sean Hannity asked Giuliani a whataboutism question, wondering why others weren’t investigated instead of the president.

“Because he didn’t care about the truth,” Giuliani argued. “He was a hitman.”

1. You'd think that if Mueller is as 'honorable' as people keep saying he is...

he'd really object to all of these hideous and slanderous attacks.

He's clearly a smart man, so he would know that A: they're wholly misrepresenting his investigation and B: these are not normal times and following the rules that the GOP have decided to take a dump on will get you nowhere.

But instead, it's like pulling teeth from a t-rex to get him to say anything other than "it's in the report."

3. I've lost faith on him. He is being attact and what is happening is destroying

the faith in government institutions. If had any honor he'd step up and reveal what he found and what kind of obstruction he ran into during his investigation. I doubt he will step up. He, like so many others, are afraid of losing their pensions, like McCabe did.

6. Mueller is no longer a fed employee ...

... therefore his pension is locked-in and untouchable. He also has a pension from his time in the military And if strapped for cash, he could always make millions by going on a speaking tour, selling the rights to his story to a TV/movie producer, and/or writing a book.

So much for the "he's afraid of losing his pension" theory.

"If had any honor he'd step up and reveal what he found and what kind of obstruction he ran into during his investigation."

He was very explicit in his report. If you'd read it, you'd know that - or maybe you're just waiting for the film version.

8. I read both parts, there was still a lot of redactions.

Other than Manafort I don't recall other specific people who he named as knowingly impeding the investigation. He seemed to make excuses for a number of people in Trumps inner circle.

I think that there is more than enough in the redacted report to shock people. I just don't know if Mueller will make his answers clear enough for most people to understand, it's so easy to get lost in minutia and vagueness.

Oh, thanks for the passive aggressive insult.

7. Ah, yes, of course ...

... because the 'honorable man' is the one who validates 'slanderous attacks' by acknowledging them, and then responding to them.

"He would know that they're wholly misrepresenting his investigation." I'm sure he doesn't know - maybe you should send him a text.

2. "Hey, Hey, DJT, what have you done that you're hiding from me?"

For goodness' sake....can the Ds not coming up with a catchy slogan/meme to remind all people (normal and deplorable) about the extreme fishiness of these people's behavior?

I've given one example, but we need something that will stick with as many people as possible from here until the night of November 3, 2020.

Our future depends on it. This is what American politics seems to have come to.

4. Wait, I thought Mueller totally exonerated Trump?

How weird that Giuliani would characterize Mueller as a hitman, when he totally exonerated Trump?

5. Why have so many people sold their souls to help trump? Will we ever know?

We need to know because aiding a criminal who commits a crime is a crime.

9. If he was a hitman, he wasn't a very good one. nt

10. He is becoming ever more desperate

And the trumpkins are easily convinced to believe these conspiracies. Think Hillary's pizza kitchen.

11. There he goes with the mobster talk again.

It's appropriate that he'll likely be brought down on RICO charges.
