Trump Rages Against Mueller on Twitter: He Makes McCarthy “Look Like a Baby”

Daniel Politi Aug 19, 201810:14 AM

The president woke up angry on Sunday. Very angry. The two main sources of his ire? Special counsel Robert Mueller and the New York Times. President Donald Trump is insisting he has “nothing to hide” and any implication otherwise is nothing but “fake news.” Trump is drawing historical comparisons, calling on his supporters to “study the late Joseph McCarthy.” But even that wouldn’t be an apt parallel because “we are now in in period with Mueller and his gang that make Joseph McCarthy look like a baby!”

The commander in chief began his Sunday morning Twitter tirade by blasting the New York Times and its Saturday bombshell report that White House Counsel Don McGahn had been cooperating “extensively” with the Mueller probe. (Despite having evidently read the piece, Trump repeatedly misspells “counsel” as “councel”).

The Times revealed McGahn has sat for some 30 hours of interviews with the special counsel’s team. Trump was evidently not a big fan of the implication that the White House counsel may be turning on him. The president said that while the “failing @nytimes” wanted to imply “that because White House Councel Don McGahn was giving hours of testimony to the Special Councel, he must be a John Dean type ‘RAT’,” nothing could be further from the truth. “I allowed him and all others to testify,” he wrote, insisting he has “nothing to hide.”

The Times story evidently bothered the president quite a bit because he went back to the issue a little while later. The Times story “made it seem like the White House Councel had TURNED on the President, when in fact it is just the opposite - & the two Fake reporters knew this.” The story is exactly why “the Fake News Media has become the Enemy of the People,” he added. The president even went on to claim that some members of the media are “very Angry” at the Times piece and “actually called ot complain and apologize.”

In the middle of his complaining about the Times, Trump also went on the offensive against the special counsel’s investigation, which has led to “lives … ruined over nothing” while “Mueller & his gang of Dems refuse to look at the real crimes on the other side,” Trump wrote. Even though the people who have really carried out collusion and obstruction were “Crooked Hillary and the Democrats,” Mueller “refuses to even look in that direction.”

Trump is raging against Mueller at a time when many of his allies are doubling down on pressuring the special counsel to wrap up his investigation. “Time for Mueller investigation to file report,” Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani wrote on Twitter on Saturday. “We will release ours. Don’t interfere with election like Comey.”

If Trump has nothing to hide, then why is he worried about McGahn. Also why will he not speak with Mueller? If McGahn does not know anything then there is nothing to worry about. Besides God put him in the White house just have the PTL or the 700 club pray it all away.

Yssup , we all know you are convinced that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to win the election. So what are you gonna say if Mueller finds no collusion? are you suddenly going to turn on Saint Mueller and call him a corrupt stooge of Trump? that Trump somehow paid him off? bribed him? blackmail? death threats?

if there is no findings of collusion, are you still gonna demand Trump be removed from office? on what grounds? just because you don't like his brand of politics? him personally?

what excuse .. er .. reason will you come up with?


and by the way, do you find my new avatar more appealing? and no i didn't have to change it, i just decided to. i like her hat, don't you?

He done broke through today.

Manafort found guilty on 8 counts.

Cohen pleads guilty to 8 felonies and named Trump as a co-conspirator.

The nightmare may soon be over.

once again you dodge the question.

you realize don't you, that if all Mueller finds is financial and tax issues in the past of Trump's associates, then it has been a witch hunt after all.

In fact, Trump waived executive privilege to let the guy answer questions from Mueller's gang of thugs for over 30 hours! That is NOT the action of someone who has anything to hide! Trump was upset at how the New York Fucking Times completely mischaracterized what he allowed to happen!

Let's see... if Trump invokes executive privilege, it means he must have something to hide. And according to your "logic" - if he WAIVES executive privilege it ALSO means he has something to hide, right MT? Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

The NYT story is a shining example of FAKE NEWS!! What a surprise to see you and yssup swallow it hook, line and sinker!


Trump Waives the Privilege

How to read Don McGahn’s cooperation with Robert Mueller.


By The Editorial Board
Aug. 19, 2018 6:19 p.m. ET

Donald Trump has a credibility problem, but so do the media. A case in point is the weekend story that White House counsel Don McGahn has cooperated with special counsel Robert Mueller. Let’s try to navigate through this Beltway Hall of Mirrors.

The thesis of the New York Times story is that Mr. McGahn cooperated in a way that could hurt Donald Trump in order to protect himself and because he doesn’t trust the President. This fits the media narrative that Mr. Trump is covering up his collusion with Russia and his obstruction of justice, and thus Mr. McGahn must be scrambling to save himself.

Yet lost in the resulting tempest is a crucial fact that appears to contradict this spin: Mr. Trump had to waive executive privilege for Mr. McGahn to cooperate with Mr. Mueller.

Mr. McGahn is not Mr. Trump’s personal attorney, so attorney-client privilege isn’t at issue. But as White House counsel Mr. McGahn represents the Presidency. He is a careful enough lawyer to advise Mr. Trump that agreeing to answer Mr. Mueller’s questions would waive executive privilege. And the Times reports that Mr. McGahn’s attorney, William Burck, said on the record that Mr. McGahn cooperated only after Mr. Trump waived any privilege claim.

This in turn meant that Mr. McGahn would have to answer all of Mr. Mueller’s questions. Once privilege is waived, Mr. McGahn couldn’t decide to answer, say, what Mr. Trump told him about Attorney General Jeff Sessions but refuse to discuss the President’s state of mind when he fired James Comey at the FBI. Without invoking privilege there is no legal basis for Mr. McGahn to refuse to answer a question.

This isn’t what you’d expect if Mr. Trump is leading a coverup. Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton fought extensive legal battles with prosecutors over executive privilege. Mr. Clinton invoked privilege to block aides Bruce Lindsey and Sidney Blumenthal from testifying to Ken Starr’s grand jury.Yet when Mr. Trump doesn’t invoke privilege for his White House counsel, he gets no credit.

Could it be that Mr. Trump let Mr. McGahn cooperate with Mr. Mueller because he felt he had nothing to cover up? This is precisely what Mr. Trump tweeted Saturday: “I allowed him and all others to testify - I didn’t have to. I have nothing to hide.”

Because Mr. Trump makes so many false statements, this claim is also assumed to be false - though legal logic and the public evidence suggest that in this case it may be true. Keep in mind that Mr. Trump’s lawyers cooperated extensively with Mr. Mueller for months, turning over tens of thousands of documents - also without claiming executive privilege.

In recent months, as the Mueller probe has dragged on, Mr. Trump has turned to denouncing it as a “witch hunt.” His lawyers now fear that letting the President talk to Mr. Mueller’s team, as Mr. Trump has said he wants to do, could be walking into a perjury trap. This is a rational fear, but the lawyers are still negotiating with Mr. Mueller.

Mr. McGahn has been one of the President’s most effective advisers - notably on judicial nominations. But some in and outside the White House resent his influence and might want to portray him as undermining Mr. Trump. The bottom line is that readers should remain skeptical about what is reported about Mr. Mueller’s probe, waiting to see the evidence he actually produces.

None of Manafort’s felony convictions had anything to do with Russian collusion with the Trump campaign. However they did prove Manafort’s felonious connection to Russia. That’s how they got him. Or are you suggesting that Manafort wasn’t read his Miranda rights or something?

Cohen’s deal was a bombshell. He has implicated Twitler in two felonious activities. Trump’s thuggish stupidity will prove his undoing.

This is just the beginning.

Boom.
Fake news. Fake lies. Fake convictions. Fake pleas to guilty. Fake witch hunt. Fake pos president. Can this shit get more fun lol. The whole world is having fun watching this play out on a daily basis. Trump would never lie to America....unless his fingers or mouth are moving

Manafort took lobbying money from the government of the Ukraine (not Russia), just like your boy Tony Podesta did. The felony wasn't in taking the money, it was in failing to pay taxes on it.

Yet he still was acquitted. From everything I've heard, Trumpy used personal (and perhaps corporate) money to avoid embarrassment to his family, which isn't a campaign donation requiring disclosure.

But go ahead and jack off to more fake news.

Your media fake news spin machines will be in full gear tonight.

And the courts too?

I am still amazed how intelligent Americans can not be ashamed by this clown and his cadre of sycophants.

We all knew Trump surrounded himself with grossly unqualified suckups. Apparently, he didn’t choose too wisely.

Fake news? Fake courts? fake Justice Department? Fake Congress? Fake outrage?

Naw. I have faith in the goodness of the American people, on many sides. on many sides.

There can be no What Aboutism. Twitler is one of a kind. Hopefully the last of his kind.

Time to move this country forward.
