TRUMP TELLS SUSAN COLLINS 'I HOPE YOU ARE LISTENING' IN RANT CALLING FOR 'WHISTLEBLOWER RACKET' TO B

TRUMP TELLS SUSAN COLLINS 'I HOPE YOU ARE LISTENING' IN RANT CALLING FOR 'WHISTLEBLOWER RACKET' TO BE LOOKED AT CLOSELY

(Sorry for the All-Caps. Newsweek headlines.)

President Donald Trump has called for what he branded a "whistleblower racket" to be "looked at very closely," flagging his issue to Senate Intelligence Committee member Susan Collins.

The president made the comments as he lashed out at Dr. Rick Bright after a CBS News 60 Minutes interview with the former top health official was aired.

Trump accused the show of putting on a "fake" whistleblower, branding Bright a "disgruntled employee who supports Dems."

"This whole Whistleblower racket needs to be looked at very closely, it is causing great injustice & harm," he tweeted. "I hope you are listening @SenSusanCollins."

You sold your soul to him, Collins. Now, do what he says.

Has he learned his lesson yet? Don't forget to tell us when he has learned his lesson, because I'm not seeing any evidence of that yet. Are you concerned yet?

Then do as your told.

Afterwards, you can tell us all how you gave it a lot of thought.

But first, don't forget to express your concern. Otherwise, folks might doubt your sincerity.

LMAO.

She spends her days and nights agonizing and pondering, and you don’t even appreciate the expense that goes into that... the taxpayer dollars that we give her barely covers the time she generously donates to worrying and concern. Shame on you.

I just hope the voters in Maine are legitimately and realistically concerned. And no, I'm not talking about sounds-like-a-good-talking-point "concerned," Susan.
