Donald Trump gives away how petrified he is of what comes next
President Richard Nixon and the current inhabitant of the White House appear to have more and more in common each day. From their 24/7 criminal intent, to their hiring of folks who will do their dirty work (see Saturday Night Massacre), to their obstruction of justice, much is the same. And each and every day, Trump channels Tricky Dick’s “I am not a crook” with his Twitter ramblings.
Today, he was back at it: “After spending more than $35,000,000 over a two year period, interviewing 500 people, using 18 Trump Hating Angry Democrats & 49 FBI Agents – all culminating in a more than 400 page Report showing NO COLLUSION – why would the Democrats in Congress now need Robert Mueller to testify. Are they looking for a redo because they hated seeing the strong NO COLLUSION conclusion? There was no crime, except on the other side (incredibly not covered in the Report), and NO OBSTRUCTION. Bob Mueller should not testify. No redos for the Dems!”
Trump should read the Mueller report, as it does not address collusion and in fact says that there well may be obstruction. Trump must be nervous again, now that it appears to truly be “Mueller Time.” Typically, when Corruptus Maximus rolls out bogus statistics and tries to recast reality, it is because he fears what is next. In this case, one needn’t guess at what has instilled fear in his heart – it is the fact that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is tentatively set to appear before the House Judiciary Committee in ten days.
As Palmer Report has previously reported, Mueller in his letter and subsequent calls with Attorney General William Barr took issue with the nature of Barr’s statements, and perhaps Trump fears not only that the truth might come out, but also hints or actual disclosures about how Mueller’s investigation was curtailed, if not fully shut down, when Barr entered the scene. Trump is nervous, but rest assured, Corruptus – this is no redo, it is simply a “do” to get to the truth. Buckle up, Butter Trump.
