The investigation should be doing the opposite of shutting down. A clear picture is emerging of a conspiracy between friends of Donald Trump, the Trump campaign, Wikileaks, and Russia to use criminally obtained emails to influence a presidential election.
The standard White House line has been that they aren’t worried about the investigation, while Donald Trump loses his mind on Twitter every single day over the Mueller investigation.
For example, as Ivanka Trump was saying that no one is worried, her father tweeted:
While the disgusting Fake News is doing everything within their power not to report it that way, at least 3 major players are intimating that the Angry Mueller Gang of Dems is viciously telling witnesses to lie about facts & they will get relief. This is our Joseph McCarthy Era!

Trump is claiming that Robert Mueller is Joe McCarthy while Ivanka is acting like things are great.
Robert Mueller isn’t going to stop investigation because of pressure from Ivanka Trump. The roof is about to cave in on the Trumps, and statements of leave my daddy and husband alone aren’t going move the needle as Mueller freight train of justice heads straight for the Trumps.
