That’s awesome. Trumps strategy of deny deny deny and obstruct is the way to go and this solidified that argument. Anyone who obeys any directive going forward is a sucker. If DJT loses the election he should simply refuse to leave.

Imagine, if you will, the blowback if Hillary was to be subpoenaed related to Barr's investigation and she refused.

Make this a little more real:

Imagine, if you will, the blowback if Hillary was to be subpoenaed related to the Benghazi investigation and she refused. She appeared three time before United States House Select Committee on Benghazi, including once during her campaign for president. The HSC on Benghazi was the 8th congressional investigation into the attacks.

I don't do 'what if' question as a personal policy, so thank you for asking.

Do the Republicans realize they are setting a precedent for future Democratic presidents? At least they are raising the stakes. That's why we DON'T need Biden
I would rather see you lose than win myself

@realDonaldTrump
Nothing changes from the Mueller Report. There was insufficient evidence and therefore, in our Country, a person is innocent. The case is closed! Thank you.

So you acknowledge then, Mr. President, that there was evidence of collusion?

Innocent and not guilty aren’t the same pal

Mueller literally said that if he had confidence that the president did NOT commit a crime then he would have said so but he didn't so he couldn't.

I think I am good taking a chunk at a time rather then satisfying DJTs desire for an impeachment fight. Frustrate him. Drag it out. Slow, timely reveals.

There's a report floating around twitter that the White House wanted the USS John McCain moved during Trump's Japan visit so he wouldn't have to see it. Apparently it couldn't be moved, so they covered the markings. Trump took to twitter to deny it.

Well, saw a clip of the 'chopper walk' press gaggle. Just a little crazed this morning? I am actually getting around to fearing some tantrum driven bad act that rains down on all of us. Fragile as an egg complicated by the idea that egg is zipping toward the tile floor.

Trump wrote:Russia, Russia, Russia! That’s all you heard at the beginning of this Witch Hunt Hoax...And now Russia has disappeared because I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected. It was a crime that didn’t exist. So now the Dems and their partner, the Fake News Media,.....

It's probably a mistake to parse Trump's tweets, but a number of news outlets are reporting this tweet as being an admission that Russie helped get him elected (with Trump denying that he had anything to do with their involvement).

I mean, as written, that is exactly what he says. And AGAIN, it wasn't a hoax. Russia did in fact tamper with our election, you blathering idiot!!!!!

Robert Mueller wrote:In his remarks at the Department of Justice, Mueller spoke for the first time about his two-year investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. Mueller reiterated that Russia had engaged in “multiple, systematic efforts” to damage Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, but “there was insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy” between the Russia government and any individuals associated with the Trump campaign. He said the “central allegation” against the Russians “deserves the attention of every American.”

It amazes me that he spends so much time bashing the author of a report that supposedly completely exonerates him.

Dems need to start impeachment proceedings immediately. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain at this point. This guy is off his fucking rocker. Had enough of this shit.
