Donald Trump is fighting back against what he described as the “greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history” this week. During a press conference, the president denied asking James Comey to end investigations into Michael Flynn and brushed off whispers of impeachment.
Revelations that Comey, whom Trump abruptly fired last week, wrote memos of his past meetings with Trump–including one at which the president apparently asked him to stop an investigation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn – roiled Washington politics this week. On Wednesday, one day after the existence of the memos went public, the Justice Department appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel to oversee the the agency’s Russia investigation.
Asked if he did indeed press Comey to stop investigating Flynn, Trump cut off the reporter, saying only: “No, no — next question.”
He also curtly dismissed Washington chatter about the prospect of impeachment for possible obstruction of justice, calling it “totally ridiculous – everybody thinks so.”
Trump, in his first live, televised comments about both reports of the Comey memos and Mueller’s appointment, said “I respect the move” to appoint a special counsel for the Russia investigation.
Still, he insisted “the entire thing has been a witch hunt” that has divided the country and served as a distraction for his administration’s agenda. “We have to get back to running this country really, really well,” Trump said at the news conference after meetings with President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia
Earlier in the day, Trump sent a series of tweets downplaying to controversy and attacking the proponents of the attack:
This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!

With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special counsel appointed!

If Trump is worried, he certainly isn’t showing it. He remains confident that the investigation will clear his name and allow the nation to move on from this Democrat-led attack.

I feel bad because both parties are saying the same thing to each other. Brutal.
The problem is, they weren’t raised better than this. No one ever taught them personal responsibility or how to lose gracefully.
I AGREE: WITCH HUNT, TO SPEND MORE from OUR TAX MONEY by WORSHIPPING Witches of LIBERAL Dem. IDIOTS
Agree wholeheartedly
Complete Jewish Bible
Revelation: 17
9 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven hills on which the woman is sitting; also they are seven kings — 10 five have fallen, one is living now and the other is yet to come; and when he does come, he must remain only a little while. 11 The beast which once was and now is not is an eighth king; it comes from the seven and is on its way to destruction. 12 The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet begun to rule, but they receive power as kings for one hour, along with the beast. 13 They have one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast. 14 They will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are called, chosen and faithful will overcome along with him.”
No, in America today, your are guilty until proven innocent. I once had a Ft Worth cop tell me, after I passed a field sobriety test twice, “I don’t care, I smell alcohol on your breath, you’re going to jail for DWI.” No guess where I went that night.
If I were Trump I would tell America and its people to go to Hell and go back to an easier life. If America wants communism, let the morons have it. Remember, under communism Trump will still be wealthy and most of us will not. How many of you losers got some of Obama’s stash? None!
