The president retweeted a video clip from the “Fox & Friends” morning show, his favorite, in which the hosts and guest Jeanine Pirro — “Judge Jeanine” on Fox and a longtime Trump friend — cast an investigation of possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign, led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, as a politically motivated witch hunt.

That the president would endorse such a view is unsurprising, but it seemed odd that he would call the attention of his 35 million followers to what came next — a discussion of indictments.

It is too early to gauge the likelihood that a grand jury impaneled in Washington several weeks ago as part of Mueller's investigation will indict anyone. “Fox & Friends” was just doing what cable news shows do — looking ahead to one possible outcome and filling airtime by chatting about it. In this case, the Trump-friendly program's goal was to preemptively delegitimize any indictment that might be handed down.

That makes sense for TV talkers, but for Trump to entertain the prospect of an indictment is an unforced error that plants questions about whether he has any reason to think an indictment might be coming. A more prudent strategy would be to project confidence that he has nothing to worry about because he did nothing wrong.

1. He knows what he did

or he would not be behaving this way for months. No innocent person behaves this way.

LOCK HIM UP!

2. LOCK HIM UP

That is the mantra that all of us should use at every opportunity.

3. Well, he deserves a fair trial first

... then lock him up!
