Trump Doth Protest Too Much

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" is a quotation from the 1599/ 1600 play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. It has been used as a figure of speech, in various phrasings, to describe someone's too frequent and vehement attempts to convince others of some matter of which the opposite is true, thereby making themselves appear defensive, and insincere.

Because Li’l Donnie Trump is a bad boy who just can’t help himself, he can’t make any statement or Tweet with lying about something.

 

For example, get a load of this Twitter shit from Trump:  

 

“The Mueller probe should never have been started in that there was no collusion and there was no crime. It was based on fraudulent activities and a Fake Dossier paid for by Crooked Hillary and the DNC, and improperly used in FISA COURT for surveillance of my campaign. WITCH HUNT!”

To quote the outgoing Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, "What a fucking moron." 

 

Where to start? Well, since Trump is stupid, let’s make this easy and start at the top.

 

The probe wasn’t started because there was collusion or a crime. The probe was started, among other things, to see if there was collusion or a crime.

 

And Mueller was only brought on board because Li’l Donnie fired FBI Director James Comey after he testified before Congress two months earlier that his agency had been investigating allegations that Trump's 2016 campaign might have contacts with Russian entities.

While Trump insists there “was no crime,” Mueller has charged 19 different individuals with crimes, including Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman (Paul Manafort) and 13 Russian nationals. In addition, five individuals have pleaded guilty, including Trump’s former national security adviser (Michael Flynn), a former top Trump campaign and transition official (Rick Gates) and a former Trump foreign-policy adviser (George Papadopoulos).



Trump says there was “no collusion” but even Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee call that into question. “What we said … is that we found no evidence of it,” Rep. Michael Conaway said.  



Damn! Back to the whole “fake dossier” shit again? Hell, Democrats and Republicans have both admitted the original inquiry began with George Papadopoulos’ conversation with an Australian diplomat that Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton. “The Papadopoulos information triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by FBI agent Peter Strzok.” That bit is from the memo Rep. Devin Nunes produced and no one is sucking on Trump’s tiny dick more than Nunes. 



Was the FISA wiretap of former Trump adviser Carter Page surveillance of the Trump campaign? The FISA court order to begin surveillance on Page took place after Page left the campaign. 

Trump’s constant criticism of the Mueller probe does beg the question: If Trump is telling the truth (Ha!) and there was no collusion or crime, then the probe would vindicate him, right?

Representative Trey Gowdy, Republican of South Carolina, said if the president was innocent, he should ‘act like it’ and leave Mr. Mueller alone, warning of dire repercussions if the president tried to fire the special counsel.


Li'l Donnie doth protest too much, methinks.
