This morning Trump is again tweeting about the Mueller probe, otherwise known as the ‘rigged witch hunt’.
But this morning he tweeted that his Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop the Mueller probe ‘right now’:
..This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!

Of course he did it in a way that couldn’t be construed as an ‘order’. But his intentions are certainly clear.
And with tweets like these, it makes me wonder how much longer Sessions is going to have a job.
Just before this, he’d tweeted this quote from Alan Dershowitz:
“FBI Agent Peter Strzok (on the Mueller team) should have recused himself on day one. He was out to STOP THE ELECTION OF DONALD TRUMP. He needed an insurance policy. Those are illegal, improper goals, trying to influence the Election. He should never, ever been allowed to........

.....remain in the FBI while he himself was being investigated. This is a real issue. It won’t go into a Mueller Report because Mueller is going to protect these guys. Mueller has an interest in creating the illusion of objectivity around his investigation.” ALAN DERSHOWITZ....

He also distanced himself from the Manafort charges:
Paul Manafort worked for Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole and many other highly prominent and respected political leaders. He worked for me for a very short time. Why didn’t government tell me that he was under investigation. These old charges have nothing to do with Collusion - a Hoax!
