FBI/LEGAL/ROBERT MUELLER/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “It was a photo-op meant to portray President Donald Trump at his most commanding: Flanked by senior military leaders, Trump was there to plot America’s response to a suspected chemical gas attack in Syria. Instead, his boiling display in the White House Cabinet Room on Monday [4-9-18] evening only served to underscore the President’s most visible weakness: his ambient rage over Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. The special counsel, Trump declared, was conducting a ‘total witch hunt.’ The FBI raid carried out on his longtime fixer and personal attorney Michael Cohen’s office is ‘frankly, a real disgrace.’ And the investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia amounts to ‘an attack on our country in a true sense.’ That was just in the first minute.”
