Trump Has Publicly Attacked the Russia Investigation More Than 1,100 Times
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/02/19/us/politics/trump-attacks-obstruction-investigation.htmlTrump Has Publicly Attacked the Russia Investigation More Than 1,100 Times

President Trump has publicly criticized dozens of people and groups related to federal inquiries into contacts between his campaign and Russia, according to a New York Times analysis of nearly every public statement or Twitter post that he has made while in office.
The attacks, which number nearly 1,200, are part of a strategy to beat back the investigations. They have also opened him to possible obstruction of justice charges. They include statements made on Twitter, in official speeches, at rallies and during news media interviews and other press events.
While it is highly unusual for anyone let alone the president of the United States to comment on continuing criminal investigations, Mr. Trump has done so at least once on 330 days, or more than 43 percent of his time in office as of Feb. 14.
Mr. Trump has employed a wide range of attacks in what appears to be an attempt to discredit the people and organizations associated with the investigations.
