President Trump attacked special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation on Saturday, writing in a pair of tweets that the now year-long investigation into his campaign's alleged ties to Russia was "rigged" against him.

The president claimed in his tweets that the probe, which has ended in charges against several former Trump officials, including former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort, and Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, was "just an excuse" for Democrats to explain how his opponent, Hillary Clinton, lost characteristically blue like Michigan and Wisconsin.

"This whole Russia Probe is Rigged. Just an excuse as to why the Dems and Crooked Hillary lost the Election and States that haven’t been lost in decades. 13 Angry Democrats, and all Dems if you include the people who worked for Obama for 8 years. #SPYGATE & CONFLICTS OF INTEREST!" Trump wrote.

"When will the 13 Angry Democrats (& those who worked for President O), reveal their disqualifying Conflicts of Interest? It’s been a long time now! Will they be indelibly written into the Report along with the fact that the only Collusion is with the Dems, Justice, FBI & Russia?" he added in a second tweet.

I wish he would go back to his old ways of calling up the media with a not so cleverly disguised voice and pseudonym John Miller to get attention.

9. As much as you try to make it so....

there is no "Spygate", Donnie. You can repeat it over and over and over, and your cult will repeat it over and over and over, but there's not a word of truth to it, you lying, pompous ass!

You told us all that you have nothing to hide, that you're not guilty of anything, and that there was no collusion. So let Mueller investigate, stop obsessing about the investigation from sun-up to sun-down, and get on with the people's business. Or had you forgotten about that, Donnie? THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS!

Oh, and FUCK YOU!

10. "Rigged" and "Spygate" are Trump-manufactured #FakeNews

He is trying to control the truth and justice

11. Unless it was ENTRAPMENT, which it sure as hell wasn't, who gives a shit, Donny?

I didn't realize I got to ask the police officer who arrested me who he voted for and that would be the basis for an acquittal.

The guy who politicizes everything is now complaining that the investigation is politicized.

The media is chasing its tail pursuing these lines of inquiry. They are fools, just like they're fools to report each Trump tweet as if it was potentially based in truth.

I don't care if it was Nancy Freaking Pelosi who took pictures and handled the tape recorder. If there's evidence of crimes, the political bent of the persons providing the evidence doesn't matter. And in this case, even that accusation is a lie.
