WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump expressed renewed frustration Sunday over the investigations into alleged ties between his campaign associates and Russian government officials, saying on Twitter that the “facts are pouring out” about links to Russia by his former presidential opponent, Hillary Clinton.

Trump lived his whole life crapping on the little guy, bullying them by threatening to take them to court. Trump always had someone there to cover for him, to bail him out, but now he is facing something new in his 71 years, consequences.

is to discredit, to smear, Comey and Mueller. Trump is having lunch with Sessions today and I wonder if the topic of firing Mueller will be discussed?
