3/5/19: Trump unleashes a Twitter storm, nineteen tweets in one day. Starting at 8:14 a.m., he complains about all the investigations targeting him and his administration, saying that the “only Collusion with Russia was done by Crooked Hillary Clinton & the Democrats.”
At 9:11 a.m. he whines: “The Dems are obstructing justice and will not get anything done. A big, fat, fishing expedition desperately in search of a crime.”
A minute later he posts in all caps: “PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT.”
“I think Bob Mueller’s an American hero.”
At the same time, Trump’s former defense lawyer, Ty Cobb does an interview with ABC. He defends Special Counsel Mueller:
I think Bob Mueller’s an
American hero…I think Bob Mueller’s a guy that, you know, even though he came
from an arguably privileged background, you know, has a backbone of steel. He
walked into a firefight in Vietnam to pull out one of his injured colleagues
and was appropriately honored for that….He is a very deliberate guy. And he –
but he’s also a class act. And a very justice-oriented person.
Cobb is asked. Is Mueller leading a team of “angry Democrats” in an illegitimate investigation?
He replies:
You know, I don’t feel the same
way about Mueller. I don’t feel the investigation is a witch hunt. I wish it
had happened on a quicker timetable. But it didn’t. And that’s, you know, and
that’s unfortunate. But at the same time, it’s not a real criticism of the
special counsel, that on the timing, because there were a lot of surprises.
So: not a witch hunt.
