Sen. Chris Coons: Trump Sounds Like A “Mob Boss”

The Hill reports:

Delaware Sen. Chris Coons (D) on Monday said that President Trump is “clearly going after the rule of law” by attacking the FBI and the Department of Justice over investigations into him. “The president is clearly going after the rule of law and our criminal justice system. And he’s undermining it,” Coons said in an appearance on CNN’s “New Day.”

Coons took particular exception to a Trump tweet on Sunday saying it was “unthinkable & unheard of” for the FBI to raid Cohen’s office in April, when agents for the bureau seized documents from Cohen’s office and home. Coons also criticized Trump’s characterization of the raid, saying that Trump sounds “more like a mob boss” than the president.

Remember, Michael Cohen only became a “Rat” after the FBI did something which was absolutely unthinkable & unheard of until the Witch Hunt was illegally started. They BROKE INTO AN ATTORNEY’S OFFICE! Why didn’t they break into the DNC to get the Server, or Crooked’s office?

President @realdonaldtrump swore an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States–the supreme law of the land. By using the language of a mob boss and constantly eroding confidence in the rule of law, he is consistently violating that sacred oath. pic.twitter.com/FerGR6vvsG
