Trump: Russia investigations an attempted 'coup'

This motherfucker is out of his ever lovin' mind. 45 minutes ranting on sean hannity

Now he wants the Attorney General to investigate Hillary Clinton.

President Donald Trump on Thursday called the FBI probe into his 2016 campaign and subsequent investigations into Russian election meddling “an attempted overthrow" of his administration.

“This was a coup,” Trump told host Sean Hannity on Fox News’ “Hannity” in his first interview since the Mueller report's release. “This was an attempted overthrow of the United States government.”

Trump insisted that special counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election had gone “hog wild to find something about the administration which obviously wasn't there.”

Trump repeatedly said the 448-page Mueller report, a redacted version of which was released last week, proved no collusion and obstruction. He called the special counsel's investigation a “one-sided witch-hunt” by “angry Democrats” who are “very serious Trump haters.”

After all, he and his people only met with them, usually surreptitiously over a hundred times?

And even though everyone knew the Russians were messing with our elections, Donald O.J. still denies it. He said he had no business with Russia at all, when it was discovered that he was negotiating a deal to build a huge Moscow Trump Tower that would make him hundreds of millions of dollars.

Yeah, there was a "coup" alright..

Yeah, it was a "witch hunt".

Yeah, there was no reason to suspect OJ Trump at all...

“The bottom line is, there was overwhelming evidence that Russian operatives hacked American computers
and defrauded American citizens, and that is only the tip of the iceberg of a comprehensive Russian strategy
to influence elections, promote social discord, and undermine America, just like they do in many other
countries,” Rosenstein said.
