President Trump blasted Democrats for trying to destroy his administration through “the thousands stabs” after special counsel Robert Mueller failed to prove the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia.
Trump, who spoke to reporters Thursday during a White House event at which he announced new assistance to farmers, offered a litany of complaints about people he blames for unjustly launching the Mueller probe, including former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, and former FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
“They’re trying to take down the wrong person. If you look at Comey, McCabe, if you look at people probably higher than that. If you look at Strzok, if you look at his lover, Lisa Page, his wonderful lover. They talked openly. They didn’t use their private server because they didn’t want to get caught. So, they used the government server. That was not a good move. He talked about the insurance policy just in case ‘Crooked Hillary’ loses, and that didn’t work out too well for them,” Trump said.
“That’s what they said, and that’s what they meant. That’s treason. That’s treason. They couldn’t win the election, and that’s what happened. And that’s what is happening right now. Because without the treason word, I guess. But that’s what is happening now. They don’t feel they can win the election, so they’re trying to do the thousand stabs. Keep stabbing,” he said.
Trump also pointed to “Bob Mueller and his group of 18 killers” going over his taxes and “financial statements to a level that nobody has gone over them before and they were not discussed even.”
And he took jabs at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., calling her “crazy Nancy” and questioning her mental state: “She’s not the same person; she’s lost it.”
