President Donald Trump said on Monday that he could “run” the special counsel’s Russia investigation if he wanted to, but that he had decided to “stay out” for now.

“I can go in, and I could do whatever — I could run it if I want,” Trump told Reuters reporters during an interview in the Oval Office.

“But I decided to stay out. I’m totally allowed to be involved if I wanted to be.

So far, I haven’t chosen to be involved.


I’ll stay out.”

The real reason Donald Trump can't stand the Russia probe

https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/20/polit...sis/index.html

Over the weekend, we learned that White House counsel Don McGahn spent 30 hours talking to special counsel Robert Mueller's office about the ongoing investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election, the possibility of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians and the idea that Donald Trump himself may have sought to obstruct the investigation.

On Monday, we learned that Trump was surprised -- and bothered -- that he didn't know the extent of the time McGahn spent with Mueller's team or, exactly, what was discussed.



This, from CNN's Kaitlan Collins, Kevin Liptak and Jeremy Diamond, is telling:

"The President was unsettled by the notion that he didn't know everything McGahn said to the special counsel during their interviews, the sources said.

And while he had approved the cooperation, Trump did not know the conversations stretched for 30 hours or that his legal team didn't conduct a full debriefing with McGahn after the fact.

... Trump remained agitated for the rest of the weekend, the people said, believing the revelation made him look weak.


Between conversations with his lawyers and a round of golf with Sen. Rand Paul, Trump lashed out on Twitter, decrying the suggestion he was caught off-guard."

This got to be an Onion article, no way the constitutional conservatives would allow the POTUS to say something like that...

You believe an opinion piece by CNN? LOL

LOL power has sure messed up the head of cowardly Donnie. Give a weak man power and you see the consequences. One thing is much clearer now concerning Russia, they bailed Trump out after his constant business failures and bankruptcies. They saw a weak man easily controlled through money, and realized early his television fame was an asset. Little did they know how easily led he and many Americans were and are.

"What is patriotism? Let us begin with what patriotism is not. It is not patriotic to dodge the draft and to mock war heroes and their families. It is not patriotic to discriminate against active-duty members of the armed forces in one's companies, or to campaign to keep disabled veterans away from one's property. It is not patriotic to compare one's search for sexual partners in New York with the military service in Vietnam that one has dodged. It is not patriotic to avoid paying taxes, especially when American working families do pay. It is not patriotic to ask those working, taxpaying American families to finance one's own presidential campaign, and then to spend their contributions in one's own companies. It is not patriotic to admire foreign dictators. It is not patriotic to cultivate a relationship with Muammar Gaddafi; or to say that Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin are superior leaders. It is not patriotic to call upon Russia to intervene in an American presidential election. It is not patriotic to cite Russian propaganda at rallies."

Yawn.....

Legally, as the President, he can. Politically, it'd be suicide.

What did you find Constitutionally troubling?

I begin to doubt Trump's ending the Mueller gang's witchhunt would hurt Trump.
