If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation, the president said on Tuesday. It just doesnt work that way!
So far, it looks like many Democrats and other political observers are laughing off Trumps warning as a desperate Hail Mary pass to avoid meeting his political doom.
MSNBCs Steve Benen, for instance, observes that the presidents decision to attack investigations in his State of the Union shows that Donald Trump is afraid of what investigations might produce.
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) literally laughed off Trumps warning during a CNN appearance on Wednesday.
Hes scared hes got something to hide! Schumer told CNNs John Berman. Because if he had nothing to hide, hed just shrug his shoulders and let these investigations go forward.

(52,399 posts)they just love the whole "i'm being treated so unfairly" concept, no matter how completely ludicrous the claim is.
yeah, poor white people get treated so unfairly because of the color of their skin, and donnie gets treated so unfairly by being allowed to be president and break treaties and grift from the treasury after having cheated and lied and broken who knows how many laws.
*and after having called for hillary to be locked up for who knows what reason.*
poor donnie, it's so unfair for him and the crooks he surrounds himself with to be investigated.
and so partisan, for him to be investigated by a prosecutor who is, err, uh, also republican....
