President Trump took a swing at special counsel Robert Mueller’s team and the entire Russia investigation on Thursday, claiming they are “rigged” against him.
The president called for Mr. Mueller and the Democrats involved with the investigation to identify any conflicts of interests.
When is Bob Mueller going to list his Conflicts of Interest? Why has it taken so long? Will they be listed at the top of his $22,000,000 Report…And what about the 13 Angry Democrats, will they list their conflicts with Crooked H? How many people will be sent to jail and……

….persecuted on old and/or totally unrelated charges (there was no collusion and there was no obstruction of the no collusion)…And what is going on in the FBI & DOJ with Crooked Hillary, the DNC and all of the lies? A disgraceful situation!

Mr. Trump specifically discredited FBI agent Peter Strzok and his testimony and denied any Russian collusion during the 2016 election.
Peter Strzok worked as the leader of the Rigged Witch Hunt for a long period of time - he got it started and was only fired because the gig was up. But remember, he took his orders from Comey and McCabe and they took their orders from you know who. Mueller/Comey best friends!

Lover FBI Agent Peter Strzok was given poor marks on yesterday’s closed door testimony and, according to most reports, refused to answer many questions. There was no Collusion and the Witch Hunt, headed by 13 Angry Democrats and others who are totally conflicted, is Rigged!

The president suggested that the investigation should be extended to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.
Russia continues to say they had nothing to do with Meddling in our Election! Where is the DNC Server, and why didn’t Shady James Comey and the now disgraced FBI agents take and closely examine it? Why isn’t Hillary/Russia being looked at? So many questions, so much corruption!

The FBI agent spent 11 hours behind closed doors on Wednesday, testifying before both the House Judiciary and House Intelligence committees.
Mr. Strzok fell under heavy criticism after the Justice Department inspector Ggeneral’s report revealed that he and another FBI employee, Lisa Page, exchanged blatantly negative messages about Mr. Trump.
Mr. Strzok, who was a part of both the Clinton email and Russia investigations, lost his security clearance earlier this month.
