WASHINGTON — President Trump trained his rancor on federal investigators on Monday and appeared to warn that negative material would emerge about the prosecutors leading the inquiry into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

In an early morning Twitter post, Mr. Trump repeated his position that the investigation is a witch hunt and said, “just wait ’till the Courts get to see your unrevealed Conflicts of Interest!”

The veiled threat to the special counsel leading the inquiry comes at a time when Mr. Trump’s legal team seems to be struggling to present a consistent message to the American public.

Mr. Trump has recently taken the position that what the special counsel is investigating as possible obstruction of justice is, in reality, Mr. Trump fighting back against what he considers to be false accusations.

6. Of course he can't prove his accusations...it's all bull hockey and nonsense...

and he has no evidence to back up his stupid lies and claims...

10. Oh I'm sure he'll have Joe DiGenova and Mrs DiGeonova fabricate something

that they can bloviate about 24/7 on Fox News.

[Uncle Joe]

7. Well it's true, there is some conflict of interest.

The FBI is interested in investigating criminal activity threatening our national security while upholding the rule of law and Trump et als' actions continuously conflict with that.

Thanks for the thread, DonViejo

11. Trump is always in reality TV mode. Always with the teasers. "Wait and see," "I can can't

tell you now," "unrevealed conflicts of interest," "nobody knows how corrupted they are," you wouldn't believe what I know about them," etc.

12. What am I missing? Who are "the 13 angry Democrats??"

I assume there may be some Democrats on the special counsel's staff, but aren't the majority Republicans?

13. Twelve jurists plus one judge?

If he (or his offspring) are found guilty, there are thirteen responsible. And none of the responsible people are named Trump. Or Kushner, maybe. But Trump certainly.
