Nothing makes him look more guilty

Updated Mar 19, 6:33 PM; Posted Mar 19, 6:33 PM
By Star-Ledger Editorial Board

President Trump's first direct attack on Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Twitter .. came just after Mueller had subpoenaed Trump's business records.

... Trump did not follow the sage advice of South Carolina Republican Trey Gowdy this weekend: If the president is innocent, the congressman said, he should "act like it" ...

An innocent president would simply let this investigation .. run its course ...

An innocent president wouldn't need to cast this as a witch hunt orchestrated by his political enemies ...

than the fact that the only place he is able to recruit help from anymore is Fox News. That's desperation with a capital D.

It's surprising that it took this long for someone, particularly a Republican, to finally acknowledge this.

So far, the only one I heard say anything negative about the whole Mueller/Trump deal who is not on his way out is Lindsey Graham and I really don't put too much into him, because he'll be singing another tune at another time.

commented if trump fires Mueller "it's the beginning of the end" of the Trump presidency. Yea, where is McConnell on this, nothing is being done or said by these treasonous bastards.

the only reason donnie is president is because he's guilty. without committing those crimes, he would never have won.

He wouldn't even allow himself to be vetted as he ran for President. He just flung accusations at everyone else and used every dirty trick and dog whistle he could find.

Trump is not innocent. He can't let the investigation run its course because he's guilty and he knows it.

He resorts to calling it a WITCH HUNT! (be sure to include the all caps & the exclamation point!) because that's all he has.

You say: If he is innocent, then why doesn't he act innocent?

And I have tried. I've tried being logical (yeah, right), being nice (and being mocked in turn), providing proof (ignored). Facts don't matter to these people. They are indeed a cult. I'm tired of wasting my time when I could be doing something useful, like buffing my nails.
