Dear Mr. Trump,
You are clearly losing it over the Mueller investigation. Why else would you rant and rave about purported conflicts of interest? Why else the insane tantrums you’re throwing?
Fact: One of your closest confidants through your campaign, the transition period, and the beginning of your presidency, Gen. Michael Flynn, is cooperating with Mr. Mueller, telling what he knows about you and your scheming family, and giving him the documents to prove the truth of what he says.
The purported conflicts about which you’re screaming on Twitter didn’t create all those emails and memoranda that Mr. Mueller is receiving from Gen. Flynn. They were created by you and your minions in 2016 and 2017. They are not fiction. They are hard, cold facts.
Fact: One of your closest confidants throughout your business cum political career, Michael Cohen, is cooperating with Mr. Mueller, telling what he knows about you and your scheming family, and giving him the documents – and probably recordings – to prove the truth of what he says.
The purported conflicts about which you’re screaming on Twitter didn’t create all those emails and recordings that Mr. Mueller is receiving from Michael Cohen. They were created by you and your minions in 2016 and 2017. They are not fiction. They are hard, cold facts.
Fact: You are continuing to obstruct justice, blatantly, by holding out the promise of pardons to people like Paul Manafort.
Indeed, the criminal statutes of the United States, 18 USC 1512(b) in particular, make it crime to corruptly attempt to persuade another person to “influence, delay, or prevent” his testimony in an official proceeding.
Holding out the pardon carrot if these people – who know your crimes – lie to Mr. Mueller or plead the Fifth Amendment to protect you is absolutely and unequivocally a violation of the statute as well as an obstruction of justice.
So tweet all you want. Your tweeting won’t change a single fact.
Very truly yours,
Bruce J. Berger
