President Donald Trump doubled down on his witch hunt characterization of Special Counsel Robert Muellers 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.

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

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.
