... not only that, he’s threatening treason charges on those who investigated him.

For those of us who haven't read the Mueller report (obviously me included!) here is an invaluable twitter thread with salient points taken from the Report in an easy way to read... (how Trump can see he's exonerated going by this, god alone knows. It's damning)

Thanks Roussette.

'Donald Trump sought on Monday to discredit a New York Times report that Deutsche Bank employees flagged concerns over transactions involving legal entities controlled by the president and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.'

'Not everyone thinks Donald Trump poses a direct and obvious threat to the rule of law. When he accuses FBI investigators of “treason”, declares his campaign was “conclusively spied on” and suggests “long jail sentences”, there is often an assumption that cooler legal heads in the justice department and White House will prevail against the impulsive president.

But as Trump’s test of constitutional boundaries intensifies, critics say, the supposedly cooler heads seem to be simmering.'

Trump tweeted

"...But where did he get all of that cash? Could it be Russia? No, I built a great business and don’t need banks, but if I did they would be there.”

There, as in, in Russia? I think we should be told. Grin

Today is Don 'Why does it mattter if one White House official lies to another?' McGahn's day.

If he stands up and allows himself to count.

Democracy according to Barr:
-DOJ can't prosecute POTUS
-DOJ will investigate those who investigate POTUS
-DOJ should investigate POTUS's political rivals
-Congress can't investigate POTUS
-Congress can't request the investigative record
-Congress can't subpoena POTUS's advisors

Interesting: TILLERSON informed White House he was planning to testify and was not blocked. For seven hours, he talked about Russia, Kushner, Middle East & more to lawmakers and aides behind closed doors.
