President Donald Trump has warned that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigative team of “MEDDLING” in the upcoming midterm elections and blames Democrats for “Collusion.”
Mueller is leading the probe into Russia meddling in the 2016 presidential election but has provided no evidence linking Trump to any wrongdoing.
Trump has frequently referred to the investigation as a “witch hunt” — and says President Barack Obama’s illegal spying on his campaign is the real scandal.
Trump has repeatedly referred to Mueller’s politically-charged team as “13 angry Democrats.”
On Tuesday, Trump tweeted —
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. There was no Collusion, except by the Democrats!

Why aren’t the 13 Angry and heavily conflicted Democrats investigating the totally Crooked Campaign of totally Crooked Hillary Clinton. It’s a Rigged Witch Hunt, that’s why! Ask them if they enjoyed her after election celebration!

Later Tuesday morning, Trump appeared to be taking guidance from supporters to heart, saying he was focused more of his attention on issues important to Americans and less on the Russia investigation.
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.
