President Donald Trump on Friday insisted there should be no report from special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, denouncing the investigation as "illegal."
"So, if there was knowingly & acknowledged to be 'zero' crime when the Special Counsel was appointed, and if the appointment was made based on the Fake Dossier (paid for by Crooked Hillary) and now disgraced Andrew McCabe (he & all stated no crime), then the Special Counsel...should never have been appointed and there should be no Mueller Report," the president tweeted Friday.
...................................
The House on Thursday passed a resolution 420-0 urging the Justice Department to make Muellers findings and full report public and available to Congress. Senate Republicans, however, blocked the bill.
The president on Friday also complained that the probe was only started as an excuse for Democrats losing the 2016 election....................................

(11,885 posts)Saying "No Collusion" over and over again , sounds to me like someone is guilty as hell in power trying to obstruct justice, and from becoming exposed , not something an innocent person would ever say. He's guilty, guilty ,guilty, and he knows it. republicans are criminals, hate groups, and russian assets now.

....should never have been appointed and there should be no Mueller Report. This was an illegal & conflicted investigation in search of a crime. Russian Collusion was nothing more than an excuse by the Democrats for losing an Election that they thought they were going to win.....

(9,426 posts)removed from office, this will never happen to another president. Next time, and all times after that, people will take seriously threats of Russia or any other country interfering with US elections. The next president will be required to show his tax returns and a full medical report. THIS should have happened with this clown, but the gop allowed their idol to storm right through all the rules. The gop along with Russia and China are responsible for the disaster living in the WH. He is a disgrace to humanity. A seriously mentally ill asshole, with no morals, no intelligence and no respect for anyone, even himself.

(52,191 posts)seriously, how is this not anything other than a blatant attempt to interfere and shut down a criminal investigation?
it doesn't even matter if it's an investigation into donnie and/or his family. it's a criminal investigation and he's trying to shut it down.
that's obstruction of justice, plain and simple.

(7,402 posts)The Dossier was introduced as part of a renewal of a FISA wiretap already in place because Carter Page was caught on a wiretap in place for the Russian he was calling. Another source was from an Australian diplomat that Popadoplous struck up a drunken conversation in London and that diplomat contacted American authorities. But sticking to the facts is not something Trump does.

(33,290 posts)He can yell out some irrelevant distractions (McCabe, Strzok, etc.), but he can't say the Russians his campaign associated with weren't directly involved in the interference.
Collusion isn't even a crime, which probably why his lawyers have told him to say that, rather than Conspiracy.

(15,805 posts)that Mueller also knows everything he's done. It's finally occurred to him that the old sage advice, 'Don't do the crime if you can't do the time', was written with him in mind.
As panic sets in, Trump will do something seriously outrageous in an attempt to stop the Mueller report.

(9,670 posts)You are the (putative) President of the United States.
If something is illegal, you have the power to respond in legal fashion; tweeting and interviews are not the proper venue.
When in God's name will someone press him to explain how it's illegal, why it's illegal, and why he has offered ZERO in the way of defense, since he obviously could do so IF HE WASN'T GUILTY of crimes.

(37,648 posts)Ergo: it doesn't matter whether crimes were found by the Special Counsel; what matters is that there were no known crimes at the time the Special Counsel was appointed.
I don't think there's a legal basis for that sort of argument. It's like saying the police have to have evidence of a crime before searching your car. That's not the law. The law is that there has to be "good cause" for the search.
I wonder.....
