Trump Says Mueller Investigation Is 'Illegal', Trump-Appointed Judge Says He's Wrong

Source: Law & Crime


by Matt Naham | 6:53 pm, August 30th, 2018

President Donald Trump expressed his feelings about facts on Thursday in comments to Bloomberg, including that he views special counsel Robert Mueller‘s Russia probe as “illegal.”




“I view it differently. I view it as an illegal investigation,” the president said, citing unnamed “great scholars.”

“There should never have been a special counsel,” he added.

Of course, this is not news in the sense that Trump often refers to the Russia investigation as a RIGGED and ILLEGAL WITCH HUNT, but it is news in the sense that Trump has repeated a claim that has been debunked a number of times already by federal judges, in light of their rulings.

I'm an illegitimate President , and there's nothing you can do about it now. He loves to accuse others of what he's doing , or has done. After today it may explain why he has said this now. His rants and tirades are becoming less and less meaningful,and just the opposite of what he wants, it all to be stopped. He'll fail miserably . More turning on him soon?

He needs to be called out on this every time he spews "some people say" or anything like that. Name them or they are fake....you said so yourself!
