Trump’s not serious about ‘witch hunt’

FACEBOOK FACEBOOK.COM/ USATODAYOPINION

President Trump, through his lawyer, has sent private messages of “appreciation” to special counsel Robert Mueller, who oversees the Russia investigation.

Nothing strange about this. Trump’s public statements are just smack talk for the press. His private communications to Mueller show his appreciation for the honesty of the process and his confidence in him to conduct a proper investigation.

Mueller probably has some really damming stuff on Trump. Otherwise, Trump would still be calling him names instead of kissing up.

Doesn’t sound like Trump plans on firing him. Another liberal lie put to rest.

Looks like Trump is going to perform for Mueller, the same way he performs for his friend Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Can you say “obstruction of justice”? Because I’m pretty certain Mueller knows how to say it! Mueller could probably even explain why private messages from the lawyer of the person being investigated to the investigator could be regarded as obstruction.

Democrats know this mock investigation by Mueller will add up to a very disappointing result for them.

Mueller is expanding the investigation because he has probably found nothing. He will, at most, say there was poor judgment but no crime.

Trump’s attorneys are as dumb as he is. They’re putting themselves in jeopardy by contacting the investigator. This isn’t like facing off with contractors Trump refused to pay; this is looking into the the possibility of criminal activity.
