Trump on FBI’s Cohen Raid: ‘No Collusion or Obstruction (Other Than I Fight Back)’

So President Trump managed to set the media world ablaze again on Wednesday morning when he got on Twitter to warn Russia not to get in his way while he launches a missile strike on Syria. However, this is Donald Trump we’re talking about here, so this was hardly the only eyebrow-raising announcement he made today.

Trump began his morning screed with a new rip on the “Failing” New York Times, taking issue with a report saying Robert Mueller is investigating a speech Trump gave in 2016 after receiving $150,000 from a Ukrainian billionaire. After that, Trump launched into a general slam on the “fake news” that his administration is shrouded in chaos.

So much Fake News about what is going on in the White House. Very calm and calculated with a big focus on open and fair trade with China, the coming North Korea meeting and, of course, the vicious gas attack in Syria. Feels great to have Bolton & Larry K on board. I (we) are

Trump also tweeted again about the FBI’s raid on the offices of his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. Most interestingly, Trump added a caveat to claims that he has obstructed justice, saying “I fight back” against the ongoing investigation into potential Russian collusion.

….doing things that nobody thought possible, despite the never ending and corrupt Russia Investigation, which takes tremendous time and focus. No Collusion or Obstruction (other than I fight back), so now they do the Unthinkable, and RAID a lawyers office for information! BAD!
