Trump Attacks Sessions and FBI, Says He May ‘Get Involved’

President Donald Trump continued his insane obsessions about Jeff Sessions, the FBI and his 2016 campaign rival with an early Saturday morning tweetstorm that shows he is fighting back hard against all of the bad news facing him.

If anyone thought Trump would capitulate in any way after Michael Cohen, David Pecker and Allen Weisselberg agreed to testify against him, they were wrong. It is clear he has no legal strategy to fight accusations against him. That leaves only a public relations/political strategy whereby he uses Twitter and Fox News to promote his lies and his attacks upon both his political rivals and American law enforcement institutions.

Here are the tweets sent back to back by the president this morning.

Michaels Cohen’s attorney clarified the record, saying his client does not know if President Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting (out of which came nothing!). The answer is that I did NOT know about the meeting. Just another phony story by the Fake News Media!

Jeff Sessions said he wouldn’t allow politics to influence him only because he doesn’t understand what is happening underneath his command position. Highly conflicted Bob Mueller and his gang of 17 Angry Dems are having a field day as real corruption goes untouched. No Collusion!

.@LindseyGrahamSC  “Every President deserves an Attorney General they have confidence in. I believe every President has a right to their Cabinet, these are not lifetime appointments. You serve at the pleasure of the President.”

Big story out that the FBI ignored tens of thousands of Crooked Hillary Emails, many of which are REALLY BAD. Also gave false election info. I feel sure that we will soon be getting to the bottom of all of this corruption. At some point I may have to get involved!

“The FBI only looked at 3000 of 675,000 Crooked Hillary Clinton Emails.” They purposely didn’t look at the disasters. This news is just out. @FoxNews

“The FBI looked at less than 1%” of Crooked’s Emails!

Through Twitter this morning the President of the United States is sending a message to many different people.

He is sending a message to Bob Mueller that the fight will continue and he’s ready to do legal battle.

He is sending a message to Fox News and his core supporters telling them he is never giving up, and neither should they.

He is sending a message to the FBI and the Attorney General saying he is more powerful than they are, because he is the president, and he can do what he wants.

Donald Trump believes he is above the law. He also is desperate to not be found guilty of any crimes through legitimate criminal prosecutions by the FBI, Bob Mueller or the Department of Justice.

America is now on notice: We have a deranged criminal as president, and the only way to get him out of office is to put Democrats back in power.
