Cornered Trump Unravels Before Breakfast: Attacks Comey, Hillary, Mueller

Apparently angry that bombing Syria didn’t make the country forget about his scandals, Trump woke up Sunday morning and promptly took to Twitter to tweet out his rage.
Starting at 7:42 a.m., Trump fired off tweets every 10-15 minutes for nearly an hour and a half, lashing out at everyone from former FBI Director James Comey and special counsel Robert Mueller to Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, the “Fake News” media, and the DNC.
It was a busy morning.
In his first three tweets, Trump focused most of his rage on Comey, but included a few other shiny objects in the mix.
Unbelievably, James Comey states that Polls, where Crooked Hillary was leading, were a factor in the handling (stupidly) of the Clinton Email probe. In other words, he was making decisions based on the fact that he thought she was going to win, and he wanted a job. Slimeball!

The big questions in Comey’s badly reviewed book aren’t answered like, how come he gave up Classified Information (jail), why did he lie to Congress (jail), why did the DNC refuse to give Server to the FBI (why didn’t they TAKE it), why the phony memos, McCabe’s $700,000 & more?

Comey throws AG Lynch “under the bus!” Why can’t we all find out what happened on the tarmac in the back of the plane with Wild Bill and Lynch? Was she promised a Supreme Court seat, or AG, in order to lay off Hillary. No golf and grandkids talk (give us all a break)!

Trump then abruptly shifted his attention to Friday’s airstrikes in Syria, clearly angry that he had been so widely (and rightly) mocked for his use of the phrase “Mission Accomplished.” While Trump claims the raid was “so perfectly carried out, the Pentagon said Saturday that the raid left enough chemical weapons facilities intact to enable the Syrian regime to use chemical weapons again if it chooses to.
The Syrian raid was so perfectly carried out, with such precision, that the only way the Fake News Media could demean was by my use of the term “Mission Accomplished.” I knew they would seize on this but felt it is such a great Military term, it should be brought back. Use often!

Trump then shifted his attention back to Comey in his next tweet, saying it’s a lie that he asked Comey for “loyalty.” But Comey isn’t the only one who has said that — in fact, there are multiple contemporaneous witnesses who have said they can corroborate Comey’s account.
I never asked Comey for Personal Loyalty. I hardly even knew this guy. Just another of his many lies. His “memos” are self serving and FAKE!

Trump also couldn’t resist rage-tweeting (again) about the FBI raid on his lawyer’s office and residences, which he has previously called an “attack on our country.” This morning, Trump once again complained that the raid violated attorney-client privilege, but forgot to mention the crime-fraud exception to attorney-client privilege.
He also suggested that his other lawyers are probably wondering when their properties are going to be raided — which is likely why no lawyers want to join his legal team.
Attorney Client privilege is now a thing of the past. I have many (too many!) lawyers and they are probably wondering when their offices, and even homes, are going to be raided with everything, including their phones and computers, taken. All lawyers are deflated and concerned!

Trump topped off his tweetstorm by once again taking aim at Comey, whose new book has apparently already gotten under Trump’s skin — before it has even been released.
Slippery James Comey, a man who always ends up badly and out of whack (he is not smart!), will go down as the WORST FBI Director in history, by far!

All is quiet on the Trump front now, but that’s likely because Trump is too busy catching up on Fox News and planning his next Twitter tirade — or as Trump likes to call it, “executive time.”
