President Trump went after the “Crazy Mueller Report” this morning, insisting that parts of it were ‘fabricated’ and “total bullshit.”
But then he abruptly stopped tweeting and did not finish his thoughts until some nine hours later, after he’d finished a round of golf.
He went on to recommend that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors be probed for ‘Spying or Treason’ and charged with crimes.
Trump seemingly took aim at the prosecutors and former White House Counsel Don McGahn in his earlier messages, when he told his followers to ‘watch out’ for sources who produce ‘so-called “notes”‘ that were not known to exist before now.
Statements are made about me by certain people in the Crazy Mueller Report, in itself written by 18 Angry Democrat Trump Haters, which are fabricated & totally untrue. Watch out for people that take so-called “notes,” when the notes never existed until needed. Because I never….

…agreed to testify, it was not necessary for me to respond to statements made in the “Report” about me, some of which are total bullshit & only given to make the other person look good (or me to look bad). This was an Illegally Started Hoax that never should have happened, a…

The thought lingered, unexplained, while he was on the golf course.
It was nine hours later, after great speculation on social media, that he issued the third part.
….big, fat, waste of time, energy and money – $30,000,000 to be exact. It is now finally time to turn the tables and bring justice to some very sick and dangerous people who have committed very serious crimes, perhaps even Spying or Treason. This should never happen again!

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh joined Trump at Mar-a-Lago for a round of golf.
Limbaugh repeated on his show yesterday that Trump was a victim of an “attempted coup.”
The Mueller Report underscored the access Mueller’s team had to the inner workings of the White House through people close to the president.
Former White House counsel Don McGahn could be a prime target for Trump, according to one source familiar with the president’s thinking, since he was a senior aide who supplied a number of damaging stories about the president.
McGahn characterized Trump’s orders to oust Mueller as “crazy shit” and is depicted as telling Trump in a private conversation he was keeping notes because he is a “real lawyer” after the president challenged his decision to tell Mueller about efforts to get rid of the special counsel.
Rob Porter, the former White House staff secretary, may also come into Trump’s crosshairs because he testified that he ignored the president’s instructions to see if then-No. 3 Justice Department official Rachel Brand could take over the Russia probe.
Former White House deputy chief of staff Rick Dearborn told investigators he refused to pressure then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to take control of the investigation.
Notes from Sessions’s chief of staff Jody Hunt’s showed Trump lamented that he was “f—ed” because of Mueller’s hiring.
And White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders admitted she misled reporters about James Comey’s firing as FBI director.
