Trump is at his bragging best self, yet again. He now is saying that if he wanted to, he could run the Russian investigation, but he's not gonna, because he doesn't want to.
Really? He thinks that he has the ability to run an investigation that is being conducted on HIM? That is astoundingly ignorant.
Trump says about Russia probe: ‘I could run it if I want’
President Trump on Monday took his attacks on the Russia investigation being led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III in a novel direction, declaring that he could run the investigation himself if he wanted to.
“I can go in, and I could do whatever — I could run it if I want,” Trump said in an Oval Office interview with Reuters. “But I decided to stay out.”
He added: “I’m totally allowed to be involved if I wanted to be. So far, I haven’t chosen to be involved. I’ll stay out.”
On Twitter, in interviews and at public events, Trump has been relentless in his criticism of Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. He has routinely decried the inquiry as a “witch hunt” and, as of last week, has fired or threatened more than half of the officials with leadership roles in the investigation, according to a Washington Post tally.
