Donald Trump condemns special counsel for Russia probe

2017-05-19

[Al Jazeera] US President Donald Trump has denounced the appointment of a special counsel to lead the Russia investigation as "the single greatest witch-hunt" in American history.

In the face of rising pressure from Congress, the US justice department named Robert Mueller, the former FBI director, on Wednesday as special counsel to investigate alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US election and possible collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia.

In a pair of Twitter posts on Thursday morning, Trump made clear he was unhappy with the latest crisis to grip his four-month-old administration.

#5 Tell the Special Counsel they have (1) Only jurisdiction on this one (1) issue and that's it -- no Whitewater Probe wandering everywhere; and (2) You have six (6) months and January 1, 2018 your remit ends. Otherwise this will be a Never ending Circus...

#4 I seem to remember that Mueller (Robert Mueller III) was nicknamed "Bobby Three Sticks" in homage to his name and actions against the Mafia.

#3 I think all of this is to divert attention and resources away from the investigation of Hillary's server and the Clinton Foundation.

Need I mention the hit on Hicks?

#2 If the deep state or shadow government is looking for a real witch for a real witch hunt, they don't have to look very far--no farther than the 2016 election.

#1 Not the 'latest crisis'. All part of the same crisis that started last November 9. Just like the 434-day "Hostage Crisis". Only longer.
