You'd think. And that's just based on what's out there in public. Mueller must have access to evidence that'd make your toes curl.
Jesus f**king Christ. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2018-08-31/president-donald-trump-interviewed-by-bloomberg-news-transcriptIt reads like the emergency services talking to an old soak who's been found collapsed on the pavement. "Sir. We'd just like to get some information from you.""Yes. I have very strong opinions on that. Some people love it. Some don't. I I I I'm thinking about it and I can't comment. But I can tell you I have very strong opinions on that. I mean. Look at the numbers. Did you see the numbers this week? They changed 41 to 42.40.4.0 to 4.1."It's the rambling of a man whose mind is falling away.
HoundIt's very simple. He's a criminal. And he will do whatever he can get away with doing, in order to avoid spending the rest of his life in prison. Including going a long way towards destroying American democracy. Absorb that, and every action he takes makes sense.
1) He won't win in 2020. Look at the detail of Tuesday's results. Regions that he won by 15% in 2016 were neck and neck this week. And he's now in a nightmare situation of having a Congress that can't protect him from investigation. So the extent of his criminality will now be exposed. 2) The role of the press in a democracy should be to help hold Govt to account. So yes, there are some guttersnipe journalists, but they are not the ones that are asking questions of him. They are the ones like Fox News which are deliberately lying to protect him. 3) I'm assuming you're referring to the issue with Jim Acosta. He was certainly confrontational in asking questions about a political advert out out by Trump that was so disgusting even Fox News refused to air it. But the way in which this is being spin by the White House is obsecene. They are pushing the line that he assaulted an intern. Which he didn't. And that line is being supported by a video which has been deliberately edited to make it look as though he struck the intern. That is an indication of how much the Trump supporters' backs are now against the wall. You decide which side you are on in days like these.
Here you go by the way. This is the doctored video that the Leader of the Free World is using in order to smear a journalist who has aggressively asked difficult questions. https://mobile.twitter.com/aymanndotcom/status/1060424768653062149?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-3350345551785004801.ampproject.net%2F1811051833450%2Fframe.htmlHaving asked questions of Politicians at press conferences I can say that the etiquette is that you get one question and there are usually one or two persons on hand to quickly give you the microphone and quickly take it off you to pass to the next person who has a question ,your question is usually passed to an aide before the conference to prevent any low Ballers!When the young lady approached him he Should she have handed her the microphone. What he is doing is using a self defence technique called blocking ,using your arms and body movements to prevent someone from striking you in the extreme to preventing them touching your torso or removing something from your hand,or in your jacket ,say mobile or wallett, in the scenario of a press conference with the Queen, Primeminister, or other dignitary what he has done is totally inappropriate.
Sproty. He wasn't using a blocking technique. He had his hand up pointing at Trump, then lowered it and brushed against her arm. The way that is being spin as some sort of assault is insane. And the fact that the WH is pushing a doctored video which attempts to make it look like a violent action is disgraceful.

Billy pointing is a precursor to punching.why would he need to point at Trump?
