Former CIA director calls out 'fear' in Trump's frenzied attacks on Mueller
(snip)
An analysis of Trump’s tweets by CNN’s David P. Gelles found that he used the phrase “witch hunt” to describe the investigation 22 times in June thus far, and 20 times in May. That is more than double the 9 times he used the phrase in April.

The panic appears to correlate with the FBI raid on Trump’s longtime fixer and personal lawyer Michael Cohen in early April. Since then, news reports have indicated that Mueller’s office is attempting to persuade Cohen to give them information on possible crimes by Trump.

Brennan, who served as the head of the CIA from March 2013 to January 2017, took note of Trump’s frenzied tweeting habit, and remarked, “Your fear of exposure is palpable. Your desperation even more so.”
He then rhetorically asked, “When will those of conscience among your Cabinet, inner circle, and Republican leadership realize that your unprincipled and unethical behavior as well as your incompetence are seriously damaging our Nation?”
