Trump says memo ‘totally vindicates’ him in Mueller probe
President Trump condemned the actions of the FBI and Department of Justice as “an American disgrace” in a Saturday morning tweet.
He hit “send” almost simultaneously on two different messages about two of his favorite subjects – the Russia investigation and his poll numbers – as his motorcade rolled toward Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., where the first family is spending the weekend.
“This memo totally vindicates “Trump” in probe,” Trump posted at 9:40 am, referring to the document issued Friday by Rep Devin Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee.
“But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on,” Trump went on. “Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!”
Trump has frequently railed against Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election and the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with the effort. Trump has repeatedly denied that allegation.
Moments before, Trump sent a tweet that trumpeted a new approval poll and took a dig at the news media.
“Rasmussen just announced that my approval rating jumped to 49%, a far better number than I had in winning the Election, and higher than certain ‘sacred cows,’” he wrote. “Other Trump polls are way up also. So why does the media refuse to write this? Oh well, someday!”
