Trump lashes out after Russia probe, cites 'treasonous' and 'evil' acts

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump lashed out at unnamed enemies on Monday, accusing them of evil actions and treason, a day after his attorney general released a summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s findings clearing the president’s campaign of conspiring with Russia in the 2016 U.S. election.

“We’re glad it’s over. It’s 100 percent the way it should have been,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “I wish it could have gone a lot sooner, a lot quicker.

“There are a lot of people out there that have done some very, very evil things, very bad things, I would say treasonous things against our country,” Trump added without mentioning anyone by name or citing specific actions.

Attorney General William Barr, the top U.S. law enforcement official, on Sunday released a four-page summary of the findings of Mueller’s 22-month investigation that detailed Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, but said the special counsel had concluded that Trump’s campaign did not conspire with Moscow.

since the election was declared for trump that somehow we shifted into another dimension. I know that sounds insane, but something just ain't right.

I feel like I got shifted sideways into a parallel, irrational universe. A universe where the rules of etiquette and laws of society that we all grew up with and told were so important our whole lives are nonexistent, though the laws of physics remain.

Corrupt politicians - we will class all of Trump's confederates as this - go to the Fifth Ditch of the Eighth Circle of Hell. They are immersed in a lake of boiling tar, which represents the sticky fingers and dark secrets of their corrupt deals. They are guarded by demons who tear them to pieces with claws and grappling hooks if they are found above the surface of the tar.

This is trump now setting up the backdrop for investigations of Democrats for (yep you guessed it) Treason.

I may sound hysterical, but I'm betting trump is brewing up a case for canceling elections.

It's akin to fanning the flames. This isn't over and our responsibility is to work to get rid of him via the electoral process, impeachment, resignation or massive protests in every city in the country. We cannot focus on worst case scenarios and get out of this mess.

But I disagree with your "fire" analogy. As for advice for what to do. I have none, I'm no one's leader. I know what I have done and what I am doing, but each person has to act according to their own conscience. You choose to have faith in this system. Ok. I have no argument with you.

but you offer a scenario in which some people may interpret your remarks gospel. So in effect you are sowing seeds of doubt and concern. I'm not saying we shouldn't be concerned but I am saying your prediction can influence others negatively.

No it is not. Especially until we get to read the Mueller report.

This is like the Kavanaugh "investigation" by the Republicans. Hold a sham investigation
where you don't interview any of the parties, have a female republican hack come in
so the old white men don't look like dicks interviewing Ms. Ford, and then have that
female hack declare that after the investigation that Kavanaugh had a clean bill as
per the charges against him

Barr, Whitaker, Kavanaugh, and others are shameful un-American hacks working to
keep Trump and the GOP in power despite all their crimes.

Against all those that were involved with this russia investigation , and does it as a threat to others who may try to go after him. HE also is going after Hillary for putin. What needs to be done is a commission on all the corruption going on. HE's been around mobsters so much that's the only way he knows , is by black mail, bribes , or threats, exposure, and false claims to use to suggest they're criminals. He now is embolden to do as he pleases against anyone he pleases with Barr's help now. I would not be surprised if before its all over we see 3 AG's getting charged, or being a Democrat is against the law.

look for him to hit back hard, and inflict as much damage as he can (or the current system will allow). With the hate radio (1200 stations) and Fox news 24/7 the brainwashing apparatus is entrenched. It is not going to improve for the next 2 years at least. More judges, more attacks on our institutions and coordinated attacks on anyone viewed as "librul." Gotta face it, and fight it, equally hard. I don't think high-roading is going to get us anywhere at this point. Wish it were otherwise. The reachin' across the aisle is pretty well dead too. They are like the Nazis of the 1930's, and want more power. We'll see how rabid they become.

He apparently doesn't know what treason really is......

Of course, with his narcissism and desire to be a dictator, anything said against him is treason.....
