With Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation closing in by the day and the figurative noose tightening, president of the United States and Very Stable Genius Donald Trump has been taking these new developments in stride, all things considered. Ha ha ha, kidding, of course — he’s melting down in front of the Internet.
With major breaks into the investigation possibly coming as soon as today — particularly involving what Michael Cohen told investigators and the series of events that led to Paul Manafort getting his plea deal revoked — Trump had a complete meltdown during Friday morning’s executive time and went on an epic, rage-filled tweet-storm.
First, Trump accused “Robert Mueller and Leakin’ Lyin’ James Comey” of being “best friends” in a typo and questionable capitalization-filled tweet, and then things only went downhill from there, as he went on to claim that the GOP is preparing their own “report.” (And by “report,” it’s unclear whether or not he just means a printout of his own tweets declaring his innocence.)
Robert Mueller and Leakin’ Lyin’ James Comey are Best Friends, just one of many Mueller Conflicts of Interest. And bye the way, wasn’t the woman in charge of prosecuting Jerome Corsi (who I do not know) in charge of “legal” at the corrupt Clinton Foundation? A total Witch Hunt…

….Foundation be listed at the top of the Report? Will the scathing document written about Lyin’ James Comey, by the man in charge of the case, Rod Rosenstein (who also signed the FISA Warrant), be a big part of the Report? Isn’t Rod therefore totally conflicted? Will all of….

…the lying and leaking by the people doing the Report, & also Bruce Ohr (and his lovely wife Molly), Comey, Brennan, Clapper, & all of the many fired people of the FBI, be listed in the Report? Will the corruption within the DNC & Clinton Campaign be exposed?..And so much more!

And then, in the middle of it all, a random China tweet:
China talks are going very well!

It has been incorrectly reported that Rudy Giuliani and others will not be doing a counter to the Mueller Report. That is Fake News. Already 87 pages done, but obviously cannot complete until we see the final Witch Hunt Report.

We will be doing a major Counter Report to the Mueller Report. This should never again be allowed to happen to a future President of the United States!

That last tweet is tantamount to dictatorship, but that’s neither here nor there. It would appear, for all intents and purposes, that these may not be the ramblings of an innocent man, and Twitter users definitely smelled blood in the water.
I see Executive Time is going very well today. Very stable, very cool, very legal. https://t.co/GJunsM94uC

Ever wonder what the smell of fear looks like in written form? Read the below thread of 5 tweets from @realDonaldTrump this morning about the Mueller investigation. Plus another 2 bonus tweets by @POTUS this morning on the same topic.

Your desperation is showing. The issue here is the Russian attack on the 2016 election, contacts between TrumpWorld (including you) and Russians, and your collusion with Putin’s disinformation campaign. https://t.co/b0kTGVwT4V
