.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump’s message on Robert Mueller gets quite a bit stranger.
Last September, Donald Trump sat down with a far-right website and peddled a new reason to question Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s credibility. “I could give you 100 pictures of him and [former FBI Director James] Comey hugging and kissing each other,” the president said.
Nevertheless, this remains on the president’s mind. A reporter asked Trump yesterday whether he intends to allow the special counsel to testify to Congress, and as part of the president’s 665-word answer, we were treated to this gem: Let’s quickly run through some of the more obvious factual errors. Trump did not have actual “conflicts” with Mueller, and there was no meaningful “business dispute.” What’s more, as the Associated Press has reported, “Though James Comey succeeded Mueller as FBI director, and though they served together in the Bush administration, the men are not known to be social friends. There is certainly no evidence, as Trump has repeatedly suggested, that they are ‘best friends.
Indeed, yesterday’s presidential tirade made the transition from talk of “picture files” to related complaints – each of which are demonstrably false – about the Mueller probe and the federal investigators involved with uncovering the truth.
