Trump exonerates himself in weird third-person tweet: 'President Trump didn't do anything wrong or..

..illegal’

President Donald Trump declared himself exonerated by former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in an early morning tweet.

The president tagged Lewandowski, who testified Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee, and “Fox & Friends” in a Twitter post reacting to coverage of the congressional hearing.

“As Corey Lewandowski stated very clearly yesterday in front of the House Judiciary Committee, President Trump didn’t do anything wrong or illegal,” Trump tweeted about himself. “But they all know that. The Democrats are hurting our Country, and getting nothing done. Shameful!”

exception. I told him, "dude, you should go around talking like that all the time! Just to get to say your name!" It was funny. He went by Harry and everyone knew it, but all supervisors and management always called him Harold.

2. How many times did Lewandowski point out that he is not a 'Harvard educated lawyer'?

So I guess he's not much of an expert on what does, or does not, constitute an illegal act.

Donald, the oligarchy is destroying democracy and owning the USA and you are a fantastic wrecking ball that helps to keep attention on abstract issues that are wedges of distraction keeping us in a semi-hypnotic state of division.

Waking up from this is important. Behind all the smoke and mirrors the rug is getting pulled out from under us. It is only shame on us if we don't transcend the "look over there" method and turn our attention to the final phases of total, complete oligarchical control.

If it continues to its final point, what are we going to do in the aftermath? If it seems to be an impossible task now, just wait. We won't be able to afford buying back our decimated democracy and then, our legacy to our children and their children is nothing, I repeat, NOTHING but Serfdom and you can bet your bank account and whatever you might still own on that!

I am not talking out of my hat on that point and I can't stress it enough, in a few decades, at this rate of inequity, the World will be owned by a small percentage of people and that's a real potential. Then, all the wedge issues that really are not a priority will fade away and mean nothing because the owners will be deciding what is and isn't.

Let's stop for a moment and take off the blinders. When they have us looking at the shiny things, we could easily direct our gaze at who is doing that and who is behind it. This is beyond right and left, it's behind it.

"No, Corey Lewandowski said the exact opposite.

He said you dictated a message for him to give to Jeff Sessions on how to end the investigation against you. That is a crime. That is obstruction of justice.

You were exonerated of nothing. In fact, the witness proved you guilty."

He thinks he's "branding" that thought on people's brains as if they were cattle. "They'll never forget what I told them to think."
