Federal agency is out to get him. Or is trump simply saying he, the countrys good leader is simply expressing his opinion on the matter. Under investigation for Obstruction Of Justice, donald trump demanded that the Attorney General end the Mueller Probe all together.

So don jr. , this is nine months after it happened, quoting him, did i meet with people that were russian . Im sure, im sure i did, but none that were set up.
