YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sen. Richard Blumenthal wondered if Trump may be committing treason and trying to cover his tracks. Trump did not like this. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"President Trump tore into Sen. Richard Blumenthal on Wednesday after the Connecticut Democrat called the White House’s explanation for firing FBI Director James Comey amid the bureau’s open investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia “laughable.”

“What we have now is really a looming constitutional crisis that is deadly serious,” Blumenthal said on CNN’s “New Day.” “Because there is an investigation ongoing.”

Trump, who was apparently watching the show, lashed out on Twitter.

“Watching Senator Richard Blumenthal speak of Comey is a joke,” the president tweeted. “‘Richie’ devised one of the greatest military frauds in U.S. history.”

“For years, as a [politician] in Connecticut, Blumenthal would talk of his great bravery and conquests in Vietnam – except he was never there,” Trump added. “When caught, he cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness and now he is judge & jury. He should be the one who is investigated for his acts.””*
