Hoping to deflect from today’s incredible news that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has assembled a grand jury to look into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, the president whined about Hillary Clinton’s emails during a rally in West Virginia.
During the good old fashioned Trump tantrum, the president called the Russia investigation a “fabrication,” apparently missing today’s stunning development.

Trump whined:
The Russia story is a total fabrication. It’s just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of American politics, that’s all it is. It just makes them feel better when they have nothing else to talk about. What the prosecutors should be looking at are Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 deleted emails.
The president can shove his head in the sand and surround himself by his die-hard supporters all he wants, but the Russia story is not a “fabrication” and nobody cares about Hillary Clinton’s emails.
What Americans do care about is the fact that the man occupying the Oval Office may have coordinated with a foreign adversary to undermine America’s democratic process – and now he and his administration are working tirelessly to cover it up and throw as many wrenches as possible into the investigation.
Not to mention the fact that grand juries aren’t just assembled on a whim. Robert Mueller isn’t impaneling one for his own amusement, as Congressman Ted Lieu tweeted on Thursday.
You don’t impanel a grand jury if you only have smoke. Mueller must be seeing fire. @realDonaldTrump and/or his associates in bigly trouble. https://t.co/psPwRKK4q6

It was clear by Trump’s performance on Thursday that he is panicking and desperate to change the subject. It’s no surprise that he chose to do that in West Virginia, one of the few remaining places in the country that believes the lies Trump repeatedly spews.
In the real world, though, Trump is fully engulfed in the blaze of the increasingly explosive Russia investigation, and all he has are some worn out campaign talking points.
