Trump says he's considering 'a major lawsuit' over Mueller investigation

President Trump said Wednesday that he’s considering bringing “a major lawsuit” against unidentified people regarding former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, accusing Mueller of treating him and his associates unfairly.

“We’ve been investigating on a personal basis, through Rudy [Giuliani] and others, lawyers, corruption in the 2016 election. We’ve been investigating corruption because I probably will, I was going to definitely, but I probably will be bringing a lot of litigation against a lot of people having to do with the corrupt investigation having to do with the 2016 election,” Trump said during a press conference with Finnish President Sauli Niinistö.

“I’ve been looking at that long and hard for a long period of time, how it started, why it started, it should never happen to another president, ever, but I’ve been talking about it from the standpoint of bringing a major lawsuit, and I’ve been talking about it for a long time,” he added.

Trump has long accused Mueller of political bias and misconduct during his two-year probe into Russia's election meddling and obstruction of justice.

Trump's "I'll sue" shtick works in New York with independent small businesses contracting for carpet or windows in one of his buildings. He can muscle and threaten to tie them up in court until they bleed out money.

It won't work in DC with politically connected people who can likely afford to hire the best attorneys or are attorneys themselves who know other high powered people.

Trump is out of his league. He is desperately trying to use the powers of the presidency to push people around but he is like a monkey with a bazooka, yeah it is potentially dangerous and disastrous but the monkey will usually not know what the hell to do with it and leave it be. Trump is all talk. He knows he can't push people around in DC, but he has to try because it is the only thing he knows to do.

There was NO unfair treatment ofTrump.

This is all about hurting Donnie's feelings. Just like that bad Barack Obama did at the WHCA dinner. Trump has still not gotten over that, never will if he is going after Robert Mueller.

Trump,you'really fucking with the wrong Marine.
