have repeatedly argued that media framing this is all a choice for Trump to interview or not interview is wrong. Maybe this will get everyone back to reality — he'll get a subpoena and then need to decide if he'll stiff arm or take 5th https://t.co/ywlKJMGtAG

So disgraceful that the questions concerning the Russian Witch Hunt were “leaked” to the media. No questions on Collusion. Oh, I see…you have a made up, phony crime, Collusion, that never existed, and an investigation begun with illegally leaked classified information. Nice!

Credit where it is due–history in the making. At anything close to this rate, President Trump will cross the 9,000-mark in term one: Never to be equaled or surpassed, unless there is a Trump term two. https://t.co/MeDlA1Akb0
