The morning after special counsel Robert Mueller said in a court filing that Paul Manafort — President Trump’s former campaign manager — lied to federal investigators after reaching a plea agreement with the government, Trump unloaded on Mueller on Twitter.
The Phony Witch Hunt continues, but Mueller and his gang of Angry Dems are only looking at one side, not the other. Wait until it comes out how horribly & viciously they are treating people, ruining lives for them refusing to lie. Mueller is a conflicted prosecutor gone rogue….

….The Fake News Media builds Bob Mueller up as a Saint, when in actuality he is the exact opposite. He is doing TREMENDOUS damage to our Criminal Justice System, where he is only looking at one side and not the other. Heroes will come of this, and it won’t be Mueller and his…

….terrible Gang of Angry Democrats. Look at their past, and look where they come from. The now $30,000,000 Witch Hunt continues and they’ve got nothing but ruined lives. Where is the Server? Let these terrible people go back to the Clinton Foundation and “Justice” Department!

Really the only surprise in those tweets is that he doesn’t mention The Big Golf Club Controversy.
Iike it when Mueller is back in the news. He has to know something to say that Manafort is lying, and must be prepared to prove it to the judge for sentencing.
Did he dictate that one? Does he really say Dot Dot Dot Dot?
So many questions.
Why is the set back for Manafort a trigger for him? Could it be if Mueller knows Manafort lied, then Mueller may know other things in relation to those lies? Is this an indication that that Donald felt comfortable with Manafort’s situation, seeing it as settled but now it has become a hornet’s nest? Is He no longer sure that Manafort will play the good soldier? Did Putie chime in and scold Donald terribly? Did some tectonic moment occur here that we are not seeing yet?
“where he is only looking at one side and not the other”
But the other side is not what Mueller was given to do. And I am not sure what that side is any more.
dear donald: If you don’t want to be prosecuted for lying to federal investigators, don’t lie to federal investigators. I know not lying is a really difficult concept for you, but that’s a problem a 71-year-old can solve.
Oh, please, please, please be hasty and pardon poor Manafort…
