President Trump has been active on Twitter expressing his opinions on former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony in front of two House committees Wednesday.
Mueller is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee and the House Intelligence Committee about his findings in the investigation into whether or not the president or his campaign knowingly conspired with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election. The 448-page report, which was released earlier this year, concluded that the campaign did not conspire, but the special counsel’s office did not determine if the president obstructed justice.
Trump first tweeted a quote from Fox News anchor Chris Wallace that was said during the first break in the special counsel’s testimony.
“‘This has been a disaster for the Democrats and a disaster for the reputation of Robert Mueller.’ Chris Wallace @FoxNews,” Trump tweeted.

The president later tweeted, “‘Mueller was asked whether or not the investigation was impeded in any way, and he said no.’ In other words, there was NO OBSTRUCTION. @KatiePavlich @FoxNews.”
Trump then retweeted Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton, who said, “No collusion. No obstruction, No impeachment. Shut the coup cabal down!”

Prior to Mueller’s testimony in front of the House Intelligence Committee, Trump offered his opinion for the first time, tweeting, “I would like to thank the Democrats for holding this morning’s hearing. Now, after 3 hours, Robert Mueller has to subject himself to #ShiftySchiff – an Embarrassment to our Country!”

The president also went on an early morning Twitter binge in the lead up to Mueller’s testimony.
“So Democrats and others can illegally fabricate a crime, try pinning it on a very innocent President, and when he fights back against this illegal and treasonous attack on our Country, they call It Obstruction? Wrong! Why didn’t Robert Mueller investigate the investigators?” he tweeted. “It was NEVER agreed that Robert Mueller could use one of his many Democrat Never Trumper lawyers to sit next to him and help him with his answers. This was specifically NOT agreed to, and I would NEVER have agreed to it. The Greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. history, by far!”
Why didn’t Robert Mueller & his band of 18 Angry Democrats spend any time investigating Crooked Hillary Clinton, Lyin’ & Leakin’ James Comey, Lisa Page and her Psycho lover, Peter S, Andy McCabe, the beautiful Ohr family, Fusion GPS, and many more, including HIMSELF & Andrew W?

He also reiterated his frequently used mantra of “NO COLLUSION, NO OBSTRUCTION!” despite Mueller disagreeing under oath about whether Trump was exonerated from obstruction of justice charges.
NO COLLUSION, NO OBSTRUCTION!
