Trump's attacks backfire: Big majorities back Mueller and Sessions, while president's disapproval

Trump's attacks backfire: Big majorities back Mueller and Sessions, while president's disapproval hits 60%, new poll says
Kevin Breuninger/Emma Newburger Published 58 Mins Ago Updated 7 Mins Ago

President Donald Trump's attacks on special counsel Robert Mueller and Attorney General Jeff Sessions don't appear to be sinking in.

Nearly two-thirds of American adults support Mueller's ongoing investigation into Russian interference during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Friday.

A majority of respondents – 52 percent — say they "strongly" support Mueller's probe. Twenty-nine percent said they oppose it.

There's also bad news for Trump's lawyers, who reportedly argued in a memo to Mueller that it's impossible for Trump to illegally obstruct justice, more than half of Americans disagree.

Fifty-three percent say they think Trump attempted to interfere in Mueller's investigation in a manner that amounted to obstruction of justice.

Not even for an hour.

I think McCain's funeral may be bringing up issues of his own mortality and how he will be remembered. Nobody will have anything good to say about him and those that do will be lying through their teeth.

He knows that nobody really admires or cares about him and once he is gone there is nothing he can do to manipulate people's perception of him. Death will have the final word.

Watch how quickly republicans and people run away from them , and turn on them for all their corruption ,and for acts of treason. The people helping them are conspiring with them now , and are in serious legal troubles helping , conspiring together doing illegal things, cover ups , obstruction, and some maybe treason, and will regret what they've done soon. The American people know, trump is a putin asset committing treason against the USA and the American people, plus all his other crimes , all coming at him very soon maybe, and he's desperate. Will putin cyber attack our infrastructure systems here now for him?
