Trump lost it on Twitter and began attacking Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) after the former prosecutor said that Trump and his family can be indicted.
Blumenthal said, “The pieces of the mosaic or the puzzle are coming into place, and the walls are closing in on Donald Trump, and his inner circle, including his family….I may be in the minority, but I believe the president could be indicted and the trial could be postponed until after he finishes service….I think the report will be extraordinarily damning, whether or not there’s an indictment.”

Blumenthal’s comments caused Trump to blow a gasket on Twitter:
Watched Da Nang Dick Blumenthal on television spewing facts almost as accurate as his bravery in Vietnam (which he never saw). As the bullets whizzed by Da Nang Dicks head, as he was saving soldiers….

….left and right, he then woke up from his dream screaming that HE LIED. Next time I go to Vietnam I will ask “the Dick†to travel with me!

Trump is terrified that he and his family will be indicted
Trump is scared stiff that Donald Trump Jr. is going to be indicted. Sen. Blumenthal clearly hit a nerve. It’s not that Trump is worried about guilt or innocence, because that ship sailed long ago. The man who led crowds in chants of lock her up directed at Hillary Clinton is terrified that he is going to be sent to prison.
Donald Trump is guilty. He knows that he is guilty. Outside of repeating his mantras no collusion and witch hunt, he has provided no evidence of his innocence. The Cohen sentencing memo laid it all out. Donald Trump committed felonies while campaigning for the presidency. The man got deferred out of serving in Vietnam due to bogus bone spurns can attack Blumenthal all he wants, but it doesn’t change the fact that the someone with the last name of Trump is probably heading to prison.
