I'm guessing that Mueller has already done this. Maybe Barbara Underwood should hire Bruce Ohr!

He's way beyond even a shred of subtlety and planning. He's just lashing out at anyone he perceives as being "against" him. He's getting to the point that he sees everyone as a threat.

The Republicans in Congress , led by trump, are going after someone in the FBI to protect themselves and putin , and the russian mafia crime boss. Watched it all on Rachel Maddow show how they're now trying to undermine and criminalize him . Trump especially mentions his name Ohr as a bad agent when in reality he's another crime fighting hero, and trump is in the process of running him out because of it. The Mafia Godfather ought to be proud of those other criminals in Congress and trump now for their help. Americans should put them all in prison.

I was hoping he knew something that Mueller had not found yet and would rat out his party over their treason. I guess not.

Mueller isn't in the habit of leaking info, so for all we know, McCain could have handed him a truckload of stuff in his last few months!

the shame is that's a major factor only because the left ignores it. the same with strzok and many many others in the same boat because a few hundred assholes on 1500 radio stations, protected by call screeners and dump buttons, can lie all day long and no one gets in their face

Trump should be banned from Twitter and he needs to put his big boy pants on and communicate like public servants always have - through written memos, press releases and press conferences.

The press around the globe is giving him a free political platform, some of which is executed at his bedside or while he's on the shitter. If he was discussing golf or McDonald's menu, that's no problem - but he's saying things that damage international trade and political relationships, not to mention the destruction of many people's well-being and safety in America.

This practice must stop......

If he can't face the press then he shouldn't be in office. It's that simple.
This Twitter shit has gone on way too long and it's toxic for our country.
