Trump On Mueller Probe: Never Been An 'Investigation More In Search Of Crime'
- 5 years ago
President Trump on Thursday again went after the Mueller probe.
President Trump took to Twitter Thursday morning and continued to slam special counsel Robert Mueller.
"Did you ever see an investigation more in search of a crime?" Trump tweeted. "At the same time Mueller and the Angry Democrats aren't even looking at the atrocious, and perhaps subversive, crimes that were committed by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. A total disgrace!"
In another tweet, he wrote: "When will this illegal Joseph McCarthy style Witch Hunt, one that has shattered so many innocent lives, ever end-or will it just go on forever? After wasting more than $40,000,000 (is that possible?), it has proven only one thing-there was NO Collusion with Russia. So Ridiculous!"
The tweets come days after legal expert Alan Dershowitz predicted that the report produced by Mueller "is going to be devastating to the president."
The retired Harvard Law professor and frequent Trump defender made this comment on ABC News' "This Week" Sunday, adding, in part: "I know that the president's team is already working on a response to the report. And so at some point when the report is made public...it will be made public probably with a response alongside. The president will say, 'look, it's political. There's their account and there's our account,' and then the American public will have to judge their credibility."
Dershowitz later clarified: "When I say devastating, I mean it's going to paint a picture that's going to be politically very devastating. I still don't think it's going to make a criminal case because collusion is not criminal."
