Trump Rages On Coverage Of Former Obama Lawyer

The Independent reports:

Donald Trump has angrily criticised a newspaper over the page it chose to place a story about the indictment of a lawyer who served in Barack Obama’s administration.

Greg Craig was indicted on Thursday on charges of making false statements and concealing information in a federal foreign lobbying investigation. The probe intersected with Robert Mueller’s special counsel inquiry into links between Trump campaign officials and Russia.

The outburst by the US president, who remains furious about the media’s coverage of Mr Mueller’s completed investigation, came amid a flurry of tweets in which he doubled down on his attempts to cast the as-yet-unseen Mueller report as a victory.

President Obama’s top White House lawyer, Gregory B. Craig, was indicted yesterday on very serious charges. This is a really big story, but the Fake News New York Times didn’t even put it on page one, rather page 16. @washingtonpost not much better, “tiny” page one. Corrupt News!

Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!

Greg Craig was fired by Obama in 2010. In 2012 he was working with the currently incarcerated Paul Manafort. Obama has zero to do with Craig’s indictments. But Trump and his idiot sycophants believe anything Trump says.
