Breitbart: President Donald Trump struck a positive tone on the special counsel investigation after meeting with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Monday, telling reporters he believed he would be treated “very fairly” and that “Democrats colluded with Russia.”
“I think we’ll be treated very fairly. Everybody understands there was no collusion. There’s no Russia. It was all made up by the Democrats. They’re the ones that colluded with Russia. The Democrats colluded with Russia. And, frankly, the previous administration didn’t do anything about Russia when they knew that they should have,” he told reporters.
Rosenstein, who is overseeing the special counsel investigation, flew with Trump aboard Air Force One to an event in Orlando, Florida, earlier in the day.
Last year, the House Intelligence Committee forced Perkins Coie lawyer Marc Elias to admit that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee funded the Fusion GPS dossier that alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The dossier, authored by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, was largely based on paid anonymous Russian sources. read more
PDT now sports Rosenstein’s nuts in his back pocket
Wake me for the frog marches out of the swamp.
Trump has a cornered rat. The question remains how he will play this hand, I hope he still plans to release the documents for the benefit of the public.
Beware of the cop or prosecutor who agrees with you – they may be trying to gain your confidence and then trick you into revealing info you didn’t want known.
I don’t trust “Chicklets” Rosenstein very far.
Wouldn’t it be fun if Bob Mueller suddenly started indicting Democrats?
Hold your friends close. Hold your enemies closer.
Keep this in mind: Our stable genius of a president built skyscrapers while having to navigate corrupt unions, corrupt city officials and, often, hostile land use activists. He knows their Achille’s heel.
I just wish the dance wouldn’t take so long.
Something interesting — and strange — is in the political weather this week.
I can feel it in my twitching elbow. ….Lady in Red
@Lady in Red – I have the same twitch. The Kavanaugh milestone has been reached and the SCOTUS is at a full no-ties nine, so now’s the time for any major move pre-mid-terms.
(I say “milestone” because the liberserkers aren’t done, not by a long shot.)
Haley’s resignation is a kick in the pants, as ole Pops would say.
If that’s one “strangeness” for the week, will the occurrences come in threes? ….Lady in Red
Trump is absolutely brilliant! Do what the Dims want, then trap them.
Mueller will have to hand in his report with Dims as a criminals. LOLOLOLOL
Crabcakes – good thing BB’s don’t take up much space.
