Trump mocked for accidentally 'tweeting his own confession' about Russian interference: 'So f*cking thick'
President Donald Trump's Thursday morning rage tweets may have revealed more information than he realized. Just one day after Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered a 9-minute speech that changed the entire direction of the impeachment debate, Trump lashed out.
"Russia, Russia, Russia! That’s all you heard at the beginning of this Witch Hunt Hoax...And now Russia has disappeared because I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected," Trump admitted, apparently for the first time.
"It was a crime that didn’t exist. So now the Dems and their partner, the Fake News Media, say he fought back against this phony crime that didn’t exist, this horrendous false accusation, and he shouldn’t fight back, he should just sit back and take it. Could this be Obstruction? No, Mueller didn’t find Obstruction either. Presidential Harassment!"
Of course, Robert Mueller did find obstruction – ten specific instances are laid out in his 448-page report.
On social media, many are having a field day.
