Is that he implies he is an innocent party that Mueller harassed (and therefore that justifies his nasty comment).
He IS NOT INNOCENT.

(18,504 posts)Trump is a practiced liar and skilled confidence man. It's what he does. His deceptive arguments always rely on initial assumptions which are untrue, employing the "illusory truth effect," repeating the same lies till his listeners believe they are true.

In his sick head, from childhood he has always been right and has never been guilty of anything - ever.

Both tried to play it in the middle - neither protected Democracy.
Too many establishment folks take that path

Comey, on the other hand, violated hard and fast rules when he sandbagged Hillary Clinton. Big difference. Garland was a milquetoast AG.

(38,585 posts)Do not have the force of law. And particularly given that Barr misrepresented his report, and the matters under investigation were so serious, there was clear justification for Mueller to go to the press and to Congress, and speak out forcefully.
Most people will not do this because they fear the consequences or for other reasons. But it is the right thing for a person to do if he expects to be viewed with honor.

(4,145 posts)... a pathological liar whose "tell" is his vituperative accusations of decent, honest people like Mueller. He always attacks those people he knows, down deep inside, are better than he has ever been, or ever could be. I'd say he's a snake, but I wouldn't want to disparage Serpens with such a pejorative comparison.
