Following the release of ousted FBI Director James Comey’s memos Thursday night, President Donald Trump responded with indignation, insisting that that the memos vindicate him and complaining that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s life was “destroyed.”
In a tweet published shortly after the memos were released Thursday night, Trump claimed that the memos show there was “NO COLLUSION and NO OBSTRUCTION” and called the Russia investigation a “witch hunt.”
James Comey Memos just out and show clearly that there was NO COLLUSION and NO OBSTRUCTION. Also, he leaked classified information. WOW! Will the Witch Hunt continue?

Trump followed up Friday morning with a tweet suggesting that Flynn was treated unfairly while Comey faced few consequences for actions that angered Trump. The President tweeted his defense of Flynn even though the memos allege that Trump told Comey he believed Flynn had “serious judgment issues.”
So General Michael Flynn’s life can be totally destroyed while Shadey James Comey can Leak and Lie and make lots of money from a third rate book (that should never have been written). Is that really the way life in America is supposed to work? I don’t think so!

Sun rises in the East TOTALLY vindicates me. No Collusion, no Obstruction. WITCH HUNT.
Living in his head must be a horror show.
So he says in one tweet that the memos vindicate him, while the next one claims Comey was lying. Which is it, the truth or lies? Or have you totally lost sight of which is which?
See my comment above.
Well, one difference between Trump and Caligula was that Caligula had six months of moderate, sane rule before going bat-shit crazy. He was also a lot younger than Trump.
