Trump: Russia 'Witch hunt' has 'devastated' and 'destroyed' lives

Source: The Hill



BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 05/27/18 08:56 AM EDT

President Trump on Sunday said the investigation into Russia’s election interference has "destroyed" and "devastated" lives.




The president did not specify whom he was referring to, but he has repeatedly referred to the Russia probe as a "witch hunt."

Trump has recently accused the FBI of using an informant to spy on his 2016 presidential campaign, though no evidence has emerged to support the president’s assertion.

News reports show that an FBI informant met with three campaign advisors to Trump.

Are those the "young and beautiful" lives you're talking about?

No, not the immigrant children who will never be found or seen by their parents again. His kids. The only ones he cares about, and by that he cares about how HE will look if they go to jail.

If he's referring to Junior, his marriage was on the rocks before DC. His ex was smart enough to take the money and run.

Hope Hicks? She's lucky she didn't continue her relationship with the wife beater. She should thank her lucky stars.

Did Trump ever stop to think that maybe he's to blame for ruining their lives? He knew that what he was doing was illegal, yet he encouraged his own kids to get involved. They are in as deep as the old man.

His compassion gags me.

Did they mistake DC for Hollywood? Is he talking about people like Scaramucci (the foul mouthed con man), Lewendowski (the adulterous enforcer) Don Jr. (the chinless wonder) Eeerie Eric (the even dumber one)? Maybe he means the true patriots who went to DC to try to make a difference, then realized that the Russians were in charge, along with the gop? People who had positions in government, and left rather than work for the Russian puppet with shit for brains. The really corrupt people are still there. Wilbur Ross, Kelly, McConnell, Pruitt. Ryan decided he had enough Russian money, along with all his contributions from the Koch brothers, so he can retire at 48. Poor Donnie Dump. Being on a reality show was so much easier for him than an actual J_O_B. He is not applauding himself as much these days, as he walks to his helicopter on the WH lawn. Sucks to be exposed as a fraud, in front of the entire world. Putin must get quite a laugh out of this, too. Bringing the US to its' knees with help from the dumbest orange asshole in the country.

Russia has seen to it that people have died for this conspiracy to elect a puppet. Trump and his minions have destroyed careers to cover his tracks.
