President Donald Trump criticized special counsel Robert Mueller’s handling of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, in a Tuesday tweet.
The Phony Witch Hunt continues, but Mueller and his gang of Angry Dems are only looking at one side, not the other. Wait until it comes out how horribly & viciously they are treating people, ruining lives for them refusing to lie. Mueller is a conflicted prosecutor gone rogue….

….The Fake News Media builds Bob Mueller up as a Saint, when in actuality he is the exact opposite. He is doing TREMENDOUS damage to our Criminal Justice System, where he is only looking at one side and not the other. Heroes will come of this, and it won’t be Mueller and his…

Trump’s tweets come just days after his legal team submitted written answers to Mueller’s team concerning any possible foreknowledge of impropriety or collusion with the Russian government. Trump’s submitted questions likely mark the ending of the nearly two-year special counsel investigation, with a hotly anticipated report on his findings.

The report will first be submitted to the Department of Justice, which is currently being overseen by acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.
Whitaker will then make a decision on how and when to release the report to Congress.
Trump has maintained staunchly that there was no collusion, and his team points to the lack of charges of any 2016 campaign official for the offense. Mueller’s team has expended much of its resources going after former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort for illegal business dealings with the Ukrainian government years earlier and indicted some top-ranking officials for lying to the FBI.

Mueller targeted Manafort once again Monday for allegedly lying to the special counsel’s office, despite entering a guilty plea agreement. Manafort plead guilty in September for his illegal lobbying and business dealings, agreeing to provide prosectors will all relevant information they desired.
