Trump has blamed the tragic mass shooting in Parkland, Florida on the FBI’s preoccupation with the Russia investigation. Let that sink in. He is saying if the FBI had spent more time tracking down leads on the shooter, and not leads into his potential conspiracy with a foreign adversary to swing our 2016 presidential election, the latest gun massacre may have been stopped.
Trump tweeted:
Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign – there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!
Forget about the sheer inappropriateness, the lowness, of the statement. The illogic is mind-numbing!
Yes, the FBI is so small it cannot work on two things at once. And yes, the local Florida agents were all too busy working on the Mueller probe to follow up on tips about the mass shooter.
Of course, Trump is being torn to shreds on social media.
Even former acting Attorney General Sally Yates, who you may remember was fired by Trump because she would not carry out his bigoted Muslim ban, weighed in with a tweet of her own.
The woman who rarely tweets said:
Incomprehensible pain and loss at a high school, yet again, and it’s children who are the leading voices for action. Meanwhile, our president uses the tragedy to attack the investigation of a foreign adversary’s interference in our democracy. Shameful. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/965075589274177536 …
Yes, Sally … shameful. But our “so-called president” has no shame. He has no sense of decency. He has no empathy. It’s always about making himself look good.
Trump must know the end is near for him and his criminal cabal.
Far from vindicating you, Mr. Trump, Mueller’s latest indictments against 13 Russian nationals is just the appetizer that will prepare the American public for what will prove to be a very satisfying meal … your removal from office in utter disgrace.
