Trump finally reacts to the Manafort deal.

Almost 4 days later, he finally responds. The cooperation deal must have thrown him off his balance?

But, he still wants his base to believe that it is a "witch hunt", even as his National Security Adviser pleads guilty, his personal lawyer pleads guilty, his Campaign Manager is found guilty on eight counts and makes a plea deal with the Special Counsel, hoping to shorten his prison sentence. Basically, Manafort made a deal to give Special Counsel everything they needed or asked for, otherwise, the agreement would be null and void.

And he wants to continue to discredit the Mueller investigation so he announces that he will de-classify certain pages of the Carter Page FISA charges. As if we have not heard that song before?

Then the cherry on top!

He says in his tweets that the Manafort charges and plea deal had nothing to do with the Trump Campaign. (After all, he was only the Campaign Manager)

As usual, he surreptitiously tries to get a message to Manafort, thru his spokesman, Rudy Giuliani. Sometimes they try to not obstruct justice...

Remember,this is a PR war Trump is raging. Keep repeating the same lies long enough and some people will believe it. Goebbels proved this theory in 1930 .
