This Twitter tantrum revolved around Friday&#8217;s announcement that a Grand Jury convened by special counsel Robert Mueller is about to issue indictments. While there was no indication of the targets or the charges, it&#8217;s clear that it has spooked Trump. Consequently, he unleashed a stream of bile that exposes his own worst fears. And even though he posted them as a fractured run-on sentence, let&#8217;s address each one in sequence:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Never seen such Republican ANGER &amp; UNITY as I have concerning the lack of investigation on Clinton made Fake Dossier (now $12,000,000?),&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J.

Most likely they recognize the folly of helping the Trump\/Russia story to persist in the news cycle. What Trump probably meant was that he hasn&#8217;t seen such Fox News <em>&#8220;ANGER &#038; UNITY.&#8221;<\/em> He could point to several Fox rants, including Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson. But <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kylegriffin1\/status\/924450214160879616\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the looniest<\/a><\/strong> is surely that of Jeanine Pirro, who calls for Mueller to be fired and Hillary Clinton to be jailed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8230;the Uranium to Russia deal, the  33,000 plus deleted Emails, the Comey fix and so much more.

Never mind that they have all been debunked by legitimate journalists. For instance, PolitiFact called the Uranium One allegations <em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politifact.com\/truth-o-meter\/statements\/2016\/jun\/30\/donald-trump\/donald-trump-inaccurately-suggests-clinton-got-pai\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Mostly False&#8221;<\/a><\/strong><\/em> more than a year ago.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8230;&quot;collusion,&quot; which doesn&#39;t exist.

If it&#8217;s a <em>&#8220;Witch Hunt,&#8221;<\/em> it has actually found some witches. That&#8217;s what Mueller will be disclosing Monday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8230;are now fighting back like never before.

It&#8217;s a Fox News response. And he is virtually admitting that there is no GOP pushback by posting, in all caps, <em>&#8220;DO SOMETHING!&#8221;<\/em> Why would that be necessary if they were already fighting back?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">All of this &quot;Russia&quot; talk right when the Republicans are making their big push for historic Tax Cuts &amp; Reform.

Trump thinks that Mueller&#8217;s indictments were timed to sink tax reform. That&#8217;s a spectacularly ludicrous conspiracy theory. To be true you would have to believe a flurry of unlikely events. First, that the special counsel appointed by a republican Justice Department is among the conspirators. Secondly, that the investigation was a legal time bomb intended to blow up legislation rather than bring criminals to justice. Thirdly, that it was triggered last May and set to go off whenever tax reform was taken up in Congress. Of course, no one had any idea then (or now) when that would be. Finally, why would this plot be aimed at tax reform rather than healthcare, immigration, climate change, or any other issue Trump has demagogued?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The quantity and quackery of these tweets is the best evidence that Trump is frightened enough to require new pants.
