I'm not going to treat any article that starts out with a variation of "Trump says" as LBN, unless he's starting WWIII. It only encourages him.

• Spoke on Fox News in first interview since Mueller probe ended
• Says other presidents shouldn’t face similar probes in future

President Donald Trump said former FBI employees Peter Strzok and Lisa Page committed treason when they took steps to investigate his possible ties to Russia during the 2016 campaign.

“They wanted an insurance policy against me,” Trump said Wednesday in an interview on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program, the president’s first since Attorney General William Barr announced on Sunday that Robert Mueller had found no coordination between his campaign and the Russian government. “And what we were playing out until just recently was the insurance policy. They wanted to do a subversion. It was treason. It was really treason.” ... “If the Republican party had done this to the Democrats, if we had done this to President Obama you’d have a hundred people in jail right now, it’d be treason,” he added.

Trump has long suggested that Mueller’s investigation was politically motivated and since it concluded he has called called for an inquiry into its origins. And on Monday, Trump said “people out there” had done “treasonous things against our country” and called for an investigation into their actions, without specifying what he meant. ... “We can never allow these treasonous acts happen to another president,” Trump said.
....

On Tuesday, Trump suggested the investigation was the result of some sort of targeted operation. “It went very high up, and it started fairly low, but with instructions from the high up,” he said. Asked if he was accusing senior members of President Barack Obama’s White House staff, Trump said he did not “want to say that, but I think you know the answer.”

1. He couldn't wait

to get out there on teevee and start in on his next targets. Trash talk is one of his favorite activities, right behind golf.

2. He keeps using that word.

I do not think it means what he thinks it means.

4. I'm betting

That Barr has advised him that there are sealed indictments in SDNY and other jurisdictions and there is nothing they can do about it. Its back to crazytown on the twitter, so you know something is probably up..

5. Despite his constant, grandiose self-inflation he is

NOT a king and therefore there is no lèse-majesté in this country. In fact, we had a rebellion to rid ourselves of kings. I am also sick of his constant, guilt-ridden, psychological projection. All the sins he accuses Democrats and "enemies" (like the FBI) of are exactly what he and his regime have committed.
