Trump Goes After ‘Rogue and Out of Control’ Mueller: ‘A Much Different Man Than People Think’

President Donald Trump this morning went from bashing Michael Cohen for turning on him to praising Roger Stone for continuing to express his loyalty — while also taking aim at special counsel Robert Mueller himself.

Cohen has cooperated with the special counsel’s office, and Trump tweeted that he feels his former lawyer should “serve a full and complete sentence”:

“Michael Cohen asks judge for no Prison Time.” You mean he can do all of the TERRIBLE, unrelated to Trump, things having to do with fraud, big loans, Taxis, etc., and not serve a long prison term? He makes up stories to get a GREAT & ALREADY reduced deal for himself, and get…..

Contrast that with what he said about Stone:

“I will never testify against Trump.” This statement was recently made by Roger Stone, essentially stating that he will not be forced by a rogue and out of control prosecutor to make up lies and stories about “President Trump.” Nice to know that some people still have “guts!”

But then Trump went after Mueller himself, accusing the former FBI director of being “a much different man than people think”:

Bob Mueller (who is a much different man than people think) and his out of control band of Angry Democrats, don’t want the truth, they only want lies. The truth is very bad for their mission!
