Inside Trump's War on the Investigations Encircling Him

A must-read piece from the New York Times:

“Mr. Trump’s public war on the inquiry has gone on long enough that it is no longer shocking. Mr. Trump rages almost daily to his 58 million Twitter followers that Mr. Mueller is on a ‘witch hunt’ and has adopted the language of Mafia bosses by calling those who cooperate with the special counsel ‘rats.’ His lawyer talks openly about a strategy to smear and discredit the special counsel investigation. The president’s allies in Congress and the conservative media warn of an insidious plot inside the Justice Department and the F.B. I to subvert a democratically elected president.”

“An examination by The New York Times reveals the extent of an even more sustained, more secretive assault by Mr. Trump on the machinery of federal law enforcement. Interviews with dozens of current and former government officials and others close to Mr. Trump, as well as a review of confidential White House documents, reveal numerous unreported episodes in a two-year drama.”

2. 58 million followers on twitter? Yeah right...I'll believe that the moon is made of cheese ...

before I ever believe this number. Twitter is a joke anyways...doesn't police itself and actually encourages the sort of nonsense put out by this so called president, by allowing a massive distortion of the truth on a regular basis.
