Breaking : Mueller wants to talk to him about Obstruction of Justice




According to sources familiar with President’s reaction this morning, the Mueller response was genesis for today's tweet storm. Mueller, according to sources, wants to ask about obstruction of justice among other topics

Muellers response sent him nuts.

Now you know why he went apeshit today.......explains the tweets, sure, keep tweeting, the case gets stronger.

Governor LePetomane, while completely ineffectual, wasn't trying to destroy his state. Trump is a different matter.

3. Probably Trump's people wanted to answer questions in writing (so someone else could do it for him)

and Mueller wants him to appear in person -- and is willing subpoena him if he doesn't cooperate.

Everyone knows Trump doesn't know where the legal boundaries are, and he both rambles AND lies like crazy, and he won't/can't handle legitimate prep work. He will absolutely screw himself one way or another.

Bet he stays up all night remembering why his parents sent him away from his family.
Stay away from the fan- shit 'be' everywhere.
As we say 'time longer than rope'.

"the Mueller response"?

Mueller responded to something and it made Trump angry? What was he responding to? The Manafort request for a delay?

I'm missing a piece of the puzzle.
