Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) saw right through Trump’s attempt to distract from the Russia scandal and warned him that his tweets aren’t going to save his people from going to jail.
Warren tweeted in response to Trump attempt to use the DNC as a distraction:
I understand your desperation to change the subject, @realDonaldTrump. Your campaign mgr was just indicted for conspiracy against the US. https://t.co/Bazcx4IbX2

You might think your tweets are cute, @realDonaldTrump, but they won’t stop Mueller's investigation or keep your people out of jail.

The DNC shouldn't play favorites. But that's a whole lot different from illegally conspiring with Russia. The FBI knows the difference.

Slurs, lies & trash talk won’t stop the FBI from doing its job. This isn't a dictatorship. It's our democracy. And it's stronger than you.

Trump is desperate to change the subject. From picking fights with the NFL to insulting a grieving Army widow to trying to falsely equate Clinton and the DNC to the Russia scandal, Trump is trying to get people to pay attention to anything besides his crumbling criminal enterprise.
Donald Trump isn’t subtle or clever about what he is attempting to do. Trump won the election by getting the media to focus on Hillary Clinton’s emails. He is trying to save his presidency by trying to get people to focus on anything besides his crimes.
The President is a one-trick pony, and people have caught on. Trump’s people will be going to prison. The great unknown is whether or not Trump will be joining them.
