Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n

Donald J. Trump, as is his habit, fired off a tweet today after the indictment of confidant Roger Stone that provided another example of egregious exaggeration.<\/p>\n

Special counsel Robert Mueller has indicted Stone on charges of lying about “the Russia thing.” Trump unloaded with a Twitter message that bellowed “NO COLLUSION!” and said Mueller is embarking on the “biggest witch hunt” in U.S. history.<\/p>\n

Oops! No, Mr. President. It’s not a witch hunt. Even if it was<\/em> a witch hunt, it would be far from the “biggest” in American history.<\/p>\n

You see, there was a time before the nation was actually founded when they went after women in Salem, Mass., looking for actual<\/em> witches. They killed these women, Mr. President. In case anyone has forgotten, no one has died in the Mueller probe into whether the president’s campaign conspired with Russians who attacked our electoral system.<\/p>\n

So, Mr. President . . . knock off the hyperbole!<\/p>\n\n
