Trump is making the obstruction of justice for Robert Mueller as a report has surfaced that shows him attacking Andrew McCabe and his wife by referring to her as a loser.
NBC News reported:
Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News.
The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, suggesting he ask his wife how it feels to be a loser — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.
McCabe replied, “OK, sir.†Trump then hung up the phone.

Trump is doing Mueller’s work for him
Trump is making it easy for Robert Mueller to build a case that Trump obstructed justice. The President has been on the attack against Andrew McCabe for months, as he inaccurately believes that McCabe is a Democrat. The sort of personal attack that Trump launched against McCabe and his wife is proof of a president with the mindset that US intelligence community is his enemy.
Donald Trump is out to destroy the FBI because they are investigating his potential financial crimes and crimes that may have been committed during the 2016 presidential election. Only the lowest of the low, or people who are also in it up to their eyeballs with the Russia scandal could defend this man.
Trump’s inability to keep his mouth closed and behave like a human being is making Robert Mueller’s work easy. Mueller has the motive and mountain of testimony that goes toward Trump’s hatred as a motivation for obstructing the FBI investigation.
Trump is digging his own political grave one outburst and obstruction at a time.
