http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-thinks-mueller-team-meddling-midterm-elections-article-1.4014707Mueller is leading the probe into whether Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election with help from Trump campaign aides. So far, four Trump associates have been charged in Mueller's investigation; three have pleaded guilty to lying to the authorities.
Trump has repeatedly referred to Mueller's team as "13 angry Democrats," although Mueller is a Republican. Mueller was appointed by Trump's deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein.
On Tuesday, Trump tweeted: "The 13 Angry Democrats (plus people who worked 8 years for Obama) working on the rigged Russia Witch Hunt, will be MEDDLING with the mid-term elections, especially now that Republicans (stay tough!) are taking the lead in Polls. There was no Collusion, except by the Democrats."

Mueller Investigation needs to speed things up.

(13,390 posts)Do ya think maybe stoking mistrust in elections serves him and his agenda? It does and he has been working that angle beginning with his lies about turnout and illegal voting.
It has been part of republican orthodoxy to shrink and tear down government. Convincing people that their government and the media are lying to them serves that end. He could not do a better job at it if he tried. Or, maybe that actually is a goal?

In other words, if the shoe fits, wear it.
Russian's meddling in our elections is OK with Mr. Corruption.

(13,390 posts)If what he says about future meddling is ridiculous, then isn't it also ridiculous to believe that past elections were influenced by Russia?
He is promoting doubt about anything that comes from any source other than the guy who is so honest his lies are transparent. Writing this off as irrational is a mistake.

(5,810 posts)He is pulling together in a tidy package what Putin and you did to meddle in the 2016 election. Like it or not, they have your number. And you aint gonna like Muellers Report. Enjoy your position while you can, Stink Face, because one day soon your time in the Peoples House will be over. And then well see who the real villains are in this plot.

(10,611 posts)He's welcoming another round of 'meddling' to help the GOP win the midterms.
He's been colluding with Russia and worse since before he ran for the nomination.
If he levels an accusation at someone, it's something he's already doing or has done.
But never mind the media. As long as Mueller's team keeps connecting the dots, that's what matters most.
