Trump Just Exploded Over Robert Mueller in Fiery, Angry Tweet: ‘NO Collusion & Mueller Knows It!’
Donald Trump cast doubt on the credibility of special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report on his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, asserting that some who worked on his presidential campaign were never contacted by the special counsel.
“When Mueller does his final report, will he be covering all of his conflicts of interest in a preamble, will he be recommending action on all of the crimes of many kinds from those ‘on the other side’ (whatever happened to Podesta?), and will he be putting in statements from hundreds of people closely involved with my campaign who never met, saw or spoke to a Russian during this period?”
“So many campaign workers, people inside from the beginning, ask me why they have not been called (they want to be). There was NO Collusion & Mueller knows it!” Trump said in a pair of tweets Monday.

Trump’s comments come after his lawyers said last week they submitted Trump’s written answers to questions from Mueller about Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Trump frequently derides Mueller’s probe as a “witch hunt” that is run by a group of “angry Democrats.” He has also questioned Mueller’s credibility, tweeting about alleged conflicts of interest.
Trump’s supporters have at times alluded to an alleged dispute over Mueller’s membership fees at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia. Mueller resigned as a member in 2011.
Twitter quickly called Trump out:
I expected very little from this man as Mueller closed in, yet I must admit I did not foresee the defense that there was no collusion unless *everybody* colluded https://t.co/DWoF6oXif8

Sir, your campaign chair, deputy campaign chair, campaign foreign policy advisor, personal lawyer and national security advisor are all felons convicted by Mueller or his colleagues. No need to call others. https://t.co/6Re9paEPQ9

The defense of "lots of people did not collude" is not a very effective one, Donald. But if your campaign manager, your son-in-law, your son, your National Security Advisor and other top folks in your campaign did, we'll soon hear about it. Happy Monday! https://t.co/MTf5BxJLTK

Translation: 1) The report will expose my inner circle's conspiracy with the Russian government.
2) I don't have a defence, so we will stick to the dumb talking points from the past

If you have nothing to hide then why won't you sit with Robert Mueller and answer questions? For example can you tell us why you asked for Russia to help you in July 2016 just a month after your son Don Jr met with Russians in Trump Tower to get "dirt" on Hillary? pic.twitter.com/wVLoi6V2cu

Who do you think believes you? 70% of Americans know you are owned by Russia and your behavior and policies have confirmed it. You & State TV are trying to convince the intellectually challenged remainder that you are a victim of a nefarious plot. A plot since 1987 of your making
