āDowd said the possibility Trump might try to fire Mueller has ānever been on the table, never.āā In case you were wondering whether Trumpās new attorneys were any less full of it than his previous ones, now you have your answer. Looks like no.
Trump has sent special counsel Robert Mueller, who is overseeing the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, private messages of āappreciation and greetings.ā

O good one! hahahahahahahaha

In what universe does anything done by the Currant Occupant qualify as acceptable behavior?
What in Godās holy fuckā¦ the man investigating your campaign for colluding with the Russians is not your pen pal!
Hey Trump you jackass, the Amazon Washington Post is owned by the richest man in the world.
You aināt dick compared to him
Bob, Bobby my man, lookingā good. Have you been working out? John, send the Bobmeister some steaks.
