As special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation heated up over the past 22 months, so, too, did Pres. Trump's attacks – first on the probe itself and later, increasingly on Mueller personally.

In January, half of Americans said they either had “just some” confidence or none at all that the Mueller report will be fair and evenhanded, and 43 percent say they have at least a good amount of confidence in its fairness, according to polling conducted by ABC News and the Washington Post.

President Donald Trump speaks during the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Md., March 2, 2019. “However, consistent rhetoric about the investigation could deepen the partisan divide on the issue; people take cues from political elites and the more it is on the public's consciousness, the more it becomes a salient issue to feel strongly about,” she said.

tRump simply the biggest mistake in U.S. history.

President Trump He is only doing his job.

Man he's only doing his job.

You haven't said or done anything right since you've been in office.

This Is A MAN that Is “PURE EVIL” ! It’s Never Ending Lies & Corruption.

When Trump is cleared will we demand reimbursement? I just got word that this will work out in Trumps favor!!!Ha!

Anyone remember how the Clintons treated Ken Starr? Funny how the left wing media has selective outrage.

SO WHAT ABC....Those who know and appreciate our President, including his penchant to attack threats against him, would expect nothing less. Never in the history of our modern “news services” has its ability to push an agenda been more obvious. Suprem Court Picks 🤣🤣🤪🤣🤪

The waste of time and money is staggering. The hours of boring news coverage, peoples lives disrupted, all for what?

Attacks? No! It’s called having an opinion and freedom of speech. Attacks would be interference with the total work of the bullrap, find a crime, “investigation” which DJT did not. Your politicized misframing only works on a small but vocal bunch of deadbeat social media losers.

I’m going to miss laughing at the Radical Leftist Fake News Media living in La-La Land of Impeachment. I would never in a billion years ever vote for a Banana Republic Democrat.

This is the culpability, as far as I'm concerned. His people had to cop plea deals for lighter sentences. All once his best friend, then crazy. If you're the president of the United States, and you're under investigation by the authorities, why wouldn't you cooperate?

Justifiably so. Now the proof of no collusion is finally here and MSM hacks have a life saving reckoning to deal with. So far they’re not looking good. Seems their TDS affliction is too strong. To try and be a journalist they’re going to have to apologize and then, maybe

The Muller report comes out with no indictments ,after hammering us for two yrs and this is the angle you take. We see through your BS and understand more clearly than ever why Trump calls you all fake news.

Hey Lib media ... OUR great President is going to be stronger after your witchhunt. There is no one in YOUR field (Pocahontas, Spartacus et al) who can hold a candle...

Nothing but a witch hunt!!! 😡

So yall start writing your next hoax to report on for after his presidency in 2020?

prayingmedic Jordan_Sather_ StormIsUponUs LisaMei62 PatriotsSoapbox 24/7 youtube chat JustInformU

Looks like Trump was right though, huh? Witch hunt, dirty cops, corrupt DOJ? Now you get to watch your precious Clinton & her crony, Obama, get indicted.

The wrongly accused are entitled to defend themselves.

Criminals attempted to overthrow our lawfully elected President, and the Media says he's horrible for fighting back. The Media truly is the enemy of the people.

And after 22 months of big bad meanie Trump attacking Mueller...no indictment for Russian colluding. WasteOfTime AndMoney

Now AOC is attacking the press

There are stronger forces at work here. Billions of dollars lost with just a hint of a hint. It is less than secondary that citizens know anything. Trump is probably blackmailed along with half of congress. They all need to be voted out now. All of these idiots are gonna screw us

Nice spin

FACTS : Lisa Page w the FBI said there was no evidence against Trump up to n after the Mueller Probe... So ... An investigation without evidence of a rime? WEIRD..... and the MSN lied and made citizens hate Trump n live in a fantasy world.. They should apologize.

realDonaldTrump griped about it, but he NEVER shut it down...and, he absolutely could have.

Man this pathetically desperate, even for you guys.

At this point, what does it matter?

Media narrative changing....... Watch as they slowly pivot, not bothering to stop for one second to reflect on their behavior from the last over two years... But we expect nothing more, modern journalists are incapable of self-reflection and/ or improvement. FakeNewsMedia

Call him Donald, he’s no president

Just stop! You cannot and will not win. The American people are not that stupid. The media and democrats have spent 2 years trying to cheat their way out of a lost election. Stop freaking out and criticizing the President for trying to defend himself against all the fake crap.

News Flash, Water is wet

Sad its over aincha lol

No collusion, no obstruction! Everything else doesn't matter. Trump is 💯 right. A hoax started by Hillary and Obama DOJ!

SPIN

Not the behavior of an innocent man

This is ABC news......

How about y’all focus on probing his coins instead. Follow the money and you’ll find the collusion.

Just admit y’all were wrong and go back to reporting actual news..

Mueller makes history exposing crime spree by former Trump aidesIn a special report, MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent, Ari Melber, examines how despite claims that the Russia probe is a “witch-hunt”, Bob Mueller has proven to be one of the fastest and most effective Special Counsels in U.S. history, racking up indictments at the fastest pace since Watergate. Melber runs through the numerous achievements in the Russia probe, noting that “it’s a lot” and demonstrates how despite Trump’s relatively short period in office, the Mueller probe has seen “the highest rate of indictments for his aides than any President ever”. Former Chief of Staff to Bob Mueller, John Carlin, tells Ari Melber “we should be proud as Americans, but also alarmed at what he’s been able to show us has occurred”. AriMelber Special counsel is me. LALALALALALALALALA I'm childish but I'll fuck you up in court. AriMelber Bull AriMelber No one polled me add another name to the disapproval side.
