Trump Threatens to Sue 'Everyone All Over the Place'

Trump threatened to sue Robert Mueller and the prosecutors who were involved with the Roger Stone case. Per usual, the president’s rant came via Twitter.

In a rambling burst of Tuesday morning tweets, Trump threatened to sue “everyone all over the place.”

The president’s latest outburst came after Judge Andrew Napolitano appeared on Fox News Tuesday morning and spoke about Stone deserving a new trial. In his tweets, Trump quoted Napolitano, saying that the need for a retrial was “pretty obvious.”

Trump also quoted Napolitano saying that Stone, Trump’s longtime associate, should receive a new trial due to the “bias of the foreperson of the jury” — an argument that Stone’s defense lawyers have been making as well. After the Justice Department intervened in the sentencing phase of Stone’s case, the forewoman took to Facebook and slammed the move and expressed support for the four prosecutors who resigned from the case.

He won’t sue because he would be forced to answer questions under penalty of felony. Kavanaugh used that phrase, penalty of felony. I had never heard that used in place of penalty of perjury. It is definitely an improvement.

It's like a badge of honor at this point. It really seems to do wonders when it comes to how the public perceives you.
