Trump has sent private messages to Russia special counsel Robert Mueller



"WASHINGTON – President Trump has publicly called the widening federal investigation into Russia's election meddling a "witch hunt." But through his lawyer, Trump has sent private messages of "appreciation" to special counsel Robert Mueller."

.....

""This is peculiar," tweeted Preet Bharara, a former U.S. attorney who was fired by Trump earlier this year. "It would be more helpful if he stopped undermining Mueller publicly and fomenting attacks on him by surrogates like Newt (Gingrich)."

This is exactly why he surounded himself with Generals.

It is too horrible to contemplate.

Wants to hear from him, unless it's to hand over requested documents/emails/tax returns.
