Trump had a Tuesday morning meltdown over Special Counsel Robert Mueller and likely reason why is that Trump now knows that Mueller has the evidence to disprove his lies.
Trump tweeted:
The Phony Witch Hunt continues, but Mueller and his gang of Angry Dems are only looking at one side, not the other. Wait until it comes out how horribly & viciously they are treating people, ruining lives for them refusing to lie. Mueller is a conflicted prosecutor gone rogue….

….The Fake News Media builds Bob Mueller up as a Saint, when in actuality he is the exact opposite. He is doing TREMENDOUS damage to our Criminal Justice System, where he is only looking at one side and not the other. Heroes will come of this, and it won’t be Mueller and his…

….terrible Gang of Angry Democrats. Look at their past, and look where they come from. The now $30,000,000 Witch Hunt continues and they’ve got nothing but ruined lives. Where is the Server? Let these terrible people go back to the Clinton Foundation and “Justice” Department!

Mueller Sends Manafort To Prison, And Now Trump Is Worried About The Criminal Justice System
It isn’t a coincidence that the day after Mueller sent Manafort to prison for violating his plea agreement by lying, Trump is suddenly worried “damage to the criminal justice system” and projecting dishonesty on Mto the Special Counsel. What is really upsetting the president is transparently obvious. He and Paul Manafort thought that they could lie and tell the same story to the special counsel.
Trump Realizes That Mueller Has Evidence To Disprove His Written Answer Lies
Donald Trump is trying to ruin Mueller’s credibility because the odds are that Trump lied in his written responses to the investigation without realizing that Robert Mueller has evidence and already knows what happened. Trump likely tried to lie to Mueller, and just saw what happened to Paul Manafort when he pulled the same stunt.
Beneath The Bluster, Trump Is Scared
Behind all of the anger and bluster of Trump’s tweets is fear. The president knows that Mueller’s final report is coming soon. He has already been warned by Democrats that a pardon of Manafort will trigger an obstruction of justice investigation. Donald Trump is boxed in, and because he lied, he is trying to discredit Robert Mueller.
Trump is scared because a bad situation is about to get a whole lot worse.
