Would someone PLEASE make the man go away!
Quote:Mueller examining Trump's tweets in wide-ranging obstruction inquiry
For years, President Donald Trump has used Twitter as his go-to public relations weapon, mounting a barrage of attacks on celebrities and then political rivals even after advisers warned he could be creating legal problems for himself.
Those concerns now turn out to be well founded. The special counsel, Robert Mueller, is scrutinizing tweets and negative statements from the president about Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former FBI director James Comey, according to three people briefed on the matter.
Several of the remarks came as Trump was also privately pressuring the men — both key witnesses in the inquiry — about the investigation, and Mueller is examining whether the actions add up to attempts to obstruct the investigation by both intimidating witnesses and pressuring senior law enforcement officials to tamp down the inquiry.
Mueller wants to question the president about the tweets. His interest in them is the latest addition to a range of presidential actions he is investigating as a possible obstruction case: private interactions with Comey, Sessions and other senior administration officials about the Russia inquiry; misleading White House statements; public attacks; and possible pardon offers to potential witnesses.

So there was no there there to begin with, but now we need to see if there was obstruction of the investigation there that should never have been there in the first place.
For the love of sweet baby jesus someone shut this witch hunt down!

Written answers to written questions. Answers reviewed and edited as necessary by Trump’s counsel prior to being handed over to Mueller or anyone else.
Anything beyond that, the answer is an unconditional and unequivocal No.
Then let the political chips fall where they may.

Unless Mueller is allowed to eliminate the whole freedom of political speech thing in the Constitution—I believe he’s going to have a problem using a public pulpit to argue obstruction. The president is free to say he thinks the probe is dirty (especially when the facts say it is) and Mueller is free to continue his increasing unpopular misguided probe as long as he sees fit. Nobody has stopped him—and the only attempt to stop him has consisted of nothing more than arguing against the need for such a probe (given that the original basis of the probe was based on a lie and the complete lack of any substantive proof nearly 2 years in).

RE: Would someone PLEASE make the man go away!
So 82 contacts between the Russians and the trump campaign all lied about, a meeting between trump campaign and Russians for “dirt” on an opponent, 17 intel agencies/senate house committees/ even the White House says Russia hacked our election, 13 Russian nationals indicted, 12 GRU officials indicted, 4 campaign officials indicted and multiple guilty pleas; but the tweets so it’s a witch hunt.

Hasn’t been debunked unless you’re referring to how all 17 agencies fall under the umbrella of 4 overall agencies. Doesn’t change the conclusion
In other words, hasnt been debunked unless I'm talking about the sentence you posted and I highlighted.
Your links do not support your fake news which has been debunked. I read thru the first one, Im not reading through anymore. Provide the passages in each link that supports your statement that 17 intel agencies/senate house committees/ even the White House says Russia hacked our election. Its your statement. Back it up.
