Trump goes after Sessions: No Mueller probe ‘if we had a real attorney general’

By Gabriella Muñoz - The Washington Times - Tuesday, August 14, 2018

President Trump said Tuesday that the Russia probe would not exist “if we had a real Attorney General” and called for the investigation to end in light of Peter Strzok’s involvement.

The president blamed Attorney General Jeff Sessions for the course special counsel Robert Mueller took in his investigation and argued it should focus on Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.

“They were all in on it, clear Hillary Clinton and FRAME Donald Trump for things he didn’t do.” Gregg Jarrett on @foxandfriends If we had a real Attorney General, this Witch Hunt would never have been started! Looking at the wrong people.

At the beginning of August, the president said Mr. Sessions should stop the Russia probe ” before it continues to stain our country any further.”

..This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!

He also went after former FBI agent Peter Strzok, who was fired from the agency on Monday.

Strzok started the illegal Rigged Witch Hunt - why isn’t this so-called “probe” ended immediately? Why aren’t these angry and conflicted Democrats instead looking at Crooked Hillary?

Fired FBI Agent Peter Strzok is a fraud, as is the rigged investigation he started. There was no Collusion or Obstruction with Russia, and everybody, including the Democrats, know it. The only Collusion and Obstruction was by Crooked Hillary, the Democrats and the DNC!

Monday, the president called for the Mueller investigation to be “properly redone” in light of Mr. Stzok’s involvement.

Just fired Agent Strzok, formerly of the FBI, was in charge of the Crooked Hillary Clinton sham investigation. It was a total fraud on the American public and should be properly redone!
