Trump took to Twitter late Friday afternoon, moments after court filings from special counsel Robert Mueller and federal prosectors in New York were made public, claiming the documents "totally clear the President."
"Totally clears the President. Thank you!" he tweeted.

The tweet came minutes after federal prosecutors in New York recommended that Michael Cohen, Trumps former longtime attorney, receive a substantial prison term for several federal crimes, despite his cooperation with ongoing law enforcement investigations, including Mueller's Russia probe.
In the filing made by New York prosecutors, Cohen claims "Individual-1" asked him to approve illegal payments, an apparent reference to then-candidate Donald Trump.

(10,270 posts)10. Is it possible that he thinks since Cohen's going to prison for a while,
That means the feds got what they wanted and he's in the clear?
Like Cohen took the blame and that's the end of it?
He CLEARLY doesn't understand how 'witch hunts' actually work, does he lol!?
