Trump says Mueller investigation will influence midterm elections

Republished with permission by Knowhere News

In a series of Tuesday morning tweets, President Donald Trump accused Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigative team of meddling in the upcoming midterm elections.

In two tweets, the president railed against the “13 Angry Democrats,” on Mueller’s team. Mueller is leading an investigation into alleged collusion between Russia and Trump campaign aides in an effort to influence the 2016 presidential election.

“The 13 Angry Democrats (plus people who worked 8 years for Obama) working on the rigged Russia Witch Hunt, will be MEDDLING with the mid-term elections, especially now that Republicans (stay tough!) are taking the lead in Polls,” the president wrote. “There was no Collusion, except by the Democrats!”

The president asserted that an investigation should be launched into his former Democratic challenger, Hillary Clinton.

“Why aren’t the 13 Angry and heavily conflicted Democrats investigating the totally Crooked Campaign of totally Crooked Hillary Clinton?” Trump wrote.

The president tweeted twice more about the Mueller probe before vowing to get back to work.

“Sorry, I’ve got to start focusing my energy on North Korea Nuclear, bad Trade Deals, VA Choice, the Economy, rebuilding the Military, and so much more, and not on the Rigged Russia Witch Hunt that should be investigating Clinton/Russia/FBI/Justice/Obama/Comey/Lynch etc.,” Trump said.

On the “Russian Tale,” people believe what they choose to believe, usually influenced by their media of choice. That said, years of research have consistently confirmed that most voting choices are determined by economic issues. On this critical point, Democrats split apart their voting base in the 1990s, middle class vs. poor, and the Obama years confirmed that this split is permanent. Excluding any truly extraordinary circumstance, Trump will be re-elected in 2020, simply because presidents are almost always re-elected. We’ll need to wait and see if there will be an election after that

It’s clear from these tweets that the president feels the investigation is politically motivated. The term “13 Angry Democrats” really drives home his perception of bias. This whole situation reminds me of how strategy can shift in a game, almost like trying to outmaneuver your opponent. It makes me wonder if there’s a Pips NYT angle to this, perhaps a deeper pattern. The accusations of a “rigged Witch Hunt” certainly ignite strong opinions on both sides.
