Donald Trump has shown his nervousness over the release of the Special Counsel Robert Mueller report about him and Russia. Unless the attorney general in Trump’s pocket, William Barr, redacts every word in the 400-page document, the results will not look good for POTUS. His defensive posture comes in the form of attack tweets.
The man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office started out attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who has defended Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) against death threats. Trump used twitter words that actually described his interior state of mind, “HATE” and “out of control:”
‘Before Nancy, who has lost all control of Congress and is getting nothing done, decides to defend her leader, Rep. Omar, she should look at the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and ungrateful U.S. HATE statements Omar has made. She is out of control, except for her control of Nancy!’
Then, the president used the “spy” word that AG Barr intentionally dropped during a House investigation and a not-so-subtle threat:
‘THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN (We will never forget)!’
The White House’s strategy for the Mueller report was to focus Trump’s followers on the four-page Barr report and disregard the Mueller report. Then, the commander-in-tweet used his words to create a wedge between his voters and “the radical left Democrats:”
‘The Radical Left Democrats will never be satisfied with anything we give them. They will always Resist and Obstruct!’
House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) commented on Trump’s concern, POLITICO reported:
‘It looks like the president … is concerned about that. He ought to live up to what he said earlier. He ought to support the full release. None of that should be redacted. But clearly he’s concerned about that coming out. If he is feeling so confident about what [the report] says, then you would think he would urge its full release. But clearly he’s not. And you’d have to ask him why.’
Another member of the House Intelligence Committee Representative Jim Himes (D-CN) added:
‘The president said he wanted it to be public, too. So it’s not us being desperate, it’s him apparently thinking about re-trading a deal. Donald Trump re-trading a deal? Shocker.’
