He's tweeting about "pinning an illegally fabricated crime on a very innocent President."

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

So Democrats and others can illegally fabricate a crime, try pinning it on a very innocent President, and when he fights back against this illegal and treasonous attack on our Country, they call It Obstruction? Wrong! Why didn’t Robert Mueller investigate the investigators?

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

It was NEVER agreed that Robert Mueller could use one of his many Democrat Never Trumper lawyers to sit next to him and help him with his answers. This was specifically NOT agreed to, and I would NEVER have agreed to it. The Greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. history, by far!

....the Republicans on the committee are going to play out their questioning time.


tag team style

first...the investigation was tainted from the beginning

next...Trump was "fighting back" ...that's not obstruction

besides....no collusion therefore there couldn't be any obstruction because you can't have obstruction if there is no underlying crime...

And who gets to define whether the FBI fabricated a crime?

Surely not one person?

And surely not one person that is dishonest.

"Crime" will be defined by our criminal justice system, with the will of our people, not by someone with shown autocratic tendencies.

And he screamed, "The Greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. history, by far!"
