Trump Goes All-Caps on Mueller: ‘TOTAL WITCH HUNT LIKE NO OTHER IN AMERICAN HISTORY!’

President Donald Trump criticized Special Counsel Robert Mueller Thursday morning in a tweet that described the investigation as a “total mess.”  Trump’s criticism comes the day after a slew of reports were published that described a White House in turmoil and a sullen and angry Commander in Chief unhappy for a number of reasons.

Now that midterm elections have passed, it is thought by many that the Mueller investigation will ramp up in the coming days and weeks. President Trump is reported to have sat with his personal attorneys to respond to written questions provided by Mueller’s office.

Trump tweeted: “The inner workings of the Mueller investigation are a total mess. They have found no collusion and have gone absolutely nuts. They are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with the answers they want. They are a disgrace to our Nation and don’t…”

He then followed with: “….care how many lives the ruin. These are Angry People, including the highly conflicted Bob Mueller, who worked for Obama for 8 years. They won’t even look at all of the bad acts and crimes on the other side. A TOTAL WITCH HUNT LIKE NO OTHER IN AMERICAN HISTORY!”

Mueller, a Republican, served under President Barack Obama for four years. He also served under President George W. Bush for eight, and has earned wide bipartisan praise from Trump acolytes like Newt Gingrich.

The Mueller investigation has been quiet since a summer announcement of more than a dozen indictments of Russian officials who are alleged to have interfered in the 2016 General Election. Since being appointed in Spring of 2017, Mueller’s office has been looking into whether the Trump campaign colluded with these efforts.

Critics have occasionally noticed that President Trump has often employed the old debate trick of “the best defense is a good offense.” Or, as Sigmund Freud called it, “projection,” in which the human ego defends itself against negative qualities by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.

UPDATE: Trump STILL has Mueller on his mind. Roughly two hours after these two tweets, he added another:
