Trump: A Group Of 'Angry Democrats' Is Running Mueller's 'Witch Hunt'

Source: Talking Points Memo



By Kate Riga | May 4, 2018 11:25 am

President Donald Trump doubled down on his “witch hunt” characterization of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe Friday, saying that a group of “angry Democrats” is running an “unfair” investigation.

“You have a group of investigators that are all Democrats,” Trump said. “In some cases, they went to the Hillary Clinton celebration that turned out to be a funeral.

“In all fairness, Bob Mueller worked for Obama for eight years,” he added.

Trump spoke to reporters during two separate gaggles, one as he was leaving the White House and the other at Joint Base Andrews before departing for the NRA convention in Dallas.

Are we flinging ourselves in a slingshot at the pigs? If so that is kind of what it sounds like!

Comey was a lifelong Republican until recently as well.

The overall FBI is also skews conservative politically.

first to say so, many folks will believe anything. And as Goebbels said, repeat it ad nauseum, and the rubes will believe it even more.

The earth is flat....yes, they would even believe that if Dear Lecher would say so.

He worked for Obama for exactly four years and only after Congress (the Senate) extended his 10-year term by 2 years and did so unanimously.

Mueller was appointed by Shrub in 2001 for a 10-year term that expired in 2011.

If a witch hunt actually catches witches, is it a bad thing?

And they are lovely people who care about the earth and their fellow humans.

Really, any living being would be rightfully offended at being compared with Trump. Even black mold and yellow jackets can't help what they are. He's like something you'd only find in the back pages of the AD&D Monster Manual.
