Trump 'seething' as Mueller probe reaches former aides

Source: CNN

Watching the developments unfold on the large television screens installed in his private residence, Trump was "seething," according to a Republican close to the White House.

As revelations from the Russia investigation rocked Washington on Monday, Trump spent much of the day hunkered down, surrounded by only a handful of aides in the third-story living quarters of the White House.

The West Wing suddenly was back in full combat mode, with an internal tug-of-war emerging over how aggressively Trump should seek to discredit Mueller and his investigation. Even as White House lawyers urged the President to avoid directly criticizing Mueller, other advisers -- including his former chief strategist Steve Bannon -- suggested he aggressively push back.

-snip-

During his morning session with his lawyers, Trump asked for an explanation of the federal grand jury indictment process, and why a sealed indictment was used, according to a senior White House official. He was also interested to know whether the indictments signaled that the investigation is speeding up toward its conclusion, the official said.

45* was gonna' by-God put an end to the leaks from within his administration. Now we have further evidence that, even in his darkest hour, 45*s closest allies and advisers can't be trusted not to leak.

and Bannon, like all who start actually believing their own bullshit, wants to go down in flames fighting. Well? Go right ahead. See where that gets you, you dumb, drunk bastard. Not sure who I hate the most....shit gibbon or the drunk vagrant.

SHITHEAD! Get to work. It's not like you have anything better to do. Let's see, how many of your administration appointments are yet to be made, 10 months into your mis-administration? Trump is definitely the laziest president, ever! What a freaking tool.

Cheer up, Donnie. Your clothes will soon match your complexion.

I feel sure the Republicans had a word for someone who just sits around watching TV all day, collecting money from the government...

Seething, tweeting, watching the "large" television screens....I guess that means he's not screwing up the world for a little while.

For some real fun, he should change the channel to MSNBC.
