Twitter Lights Up Over Trump Tweetstorm Attacking McCabe, Mueller: ‘Sign of Something Brewing…’

President Trump is tweeting up a storm this morning (and watching Fox & Friends), going after James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and Robert Mueller. And Twitter tried to process these latest presidential tweets:

Over to you, @Comey https://t.co/e4tBNkkt1y

This is the same way the president tries to discredit reporting he doesn’t like by calling it “fake news.” Now he’s now trying that same branding with McCabe’s memos… https://t.co/rZw0jotYZJ

That's not how this works. @Comey described how this works. As soon as they leave your presence, they make note of everything you said.

These are the recollections of career law enforcement officers. https://t.co/XfVboV7zFz

It would not be unusual for a senior FBI official to memorialize meetings/conversations with the president after that contact is concluded.Not while sitting with him. https://t.co/jILYSL9OK6

the phrase "i don't believe" is doing a lot of work in this tweet https://t.co/WgSN4nyTEX

This is spectacle. The President of the United States, the man once presumed to be the leader of the free world, is sweating his balls off and can't stop typing. https://t.co/L6qsZ3QopM

Robert S. Mueller III is a Republican. https://t.co/lixBIPb0V7

Robert Mueller is a Republican and was nominated to be FBI director by a Republican president https://t.co/8ARZ5IzLW1

What would Rosenstein and Sessions do if POTUS orders the firing of Mueller? What would John Kelly do? Would McConnell or Ryan protest in any real way? https://t.co/5DbiXVxraT

Does @realDonaldTrump know something that’s coming down the pike that we don’t? This morning Twitterstorm – attacking investigators – seems to be a sign of something brewing… https://t.co/g4beGFLxb0
